Balzac Hôtel Restaurant

I highly recommend the Hôtel Balzac. The small, elegant hotel is ideally located in the historic center of the delightful town of Fougères, the site of a walled, medieval château; and within easy walking distance of the historic church, as well as the town square which is surrounded by lively cafés, bars, and the site of musical performances and cultural events. The town also hosts a weekly fresh market that draws large crowds. The rooms at the Balzac are immaculately clean and well appointed with comfortable beds, French linens, and good-sized bathtubs. The decor is elegantly simple, and the rooms furnished with desks and electric kettles. The hotel offers excellent, ample breakfasts , and a varied, classic French cuisine in the dining areas during lunch and dinner hours. The special desserts made in house by the Balzac chef are especially appeciated. Try the crème brûlée. The owners and staff are impeccably courteous, welcoming and helpful to their international guests.

We had breakfast at all the hotels we stayed at. The breakfast here was the least expensive and not quite as good as the others. As a fun note when we arrived late morning we knew it was early for check in. The street in front of the hotel was blocked off for a farmers market. It was a great chance to see the fish, vegetables, breads and cheeses we could have bought. But getting on the plane the next day buying was not an option. We parked a public lot a block away overnight. We took what we needed for one night out rather than drive the car up with our heavy bags. The people running the hotel were very very nice. Great location to see the cathedral and the castle.

The hotel was in the center of a quaint little town. The staff was great, it was centrally located...Great little place.

The staff was friendly and the restaurant was good, especially with a later arrival. Love the resident cat

Good location. Room seemed clean. No air-conditioning. Staff were friendly. Evening meal was overcooked. Breakfast was very disorganised. Hotel location very good. Parking is limited near hotel.

Bravo. Well done! Older charming town centre hotel, bed comfy, small but fully functional bathroom. Tea/ coffee making supplies. Friendly family welcome. At front of hotel a bit noisy with cafe & cars. Clean enough - we had a nice stay. Car parking a challenge but ask for assistance on where to park.

For the price, fantastic

Great stay in Fougeres. Be aware that off-peak travel season that the lobby and the front desk are not open in the mid-afternoon.

Cheap two star hotel. Don’t expect any frills because there aren’t any but it is warm, very convenient and clean. Our room- 1 had been recently decorated very pleasantly. Room was small but fine for one night.
