Really a wonderful hotel. Staff were great, beautifully designed rooms. Great value. Loved it. Will be returning the next time - and we'll make sure we stay longer. Give yourself some time to meander through the park across the road.

Great service (so unusual in France :) great building and overall a great stay. If I come back to Nantes, I won't hesitate to come back to the Sozo. I staid in a room on the 3rd (and last) floor. Probably about 12-foot high ceilings, really amazing. I rang the front desk 3 times, rather late (for an additional Internet... More

We only stayed one night at Hotel Sozo but just loved it. It's in a converted church and is comfortable and stylish with very helpful staff. We had our 7 year old with us who had a little mattress on the floor - she's quite tall and her feet hung out, but she didn't mind and slept like a log.... More

My husband travelled to Nantes for business and I tagged along. He was originally booked for a chain hotel but when I found this here on TA, well, you know the rest. With so many boutique hotels popping up everywhere, this was a real find! One of the best boutiques ever. It is so charming. Okay, yes, the rooms are... More

Great choice. Building a hotel within an old church is a very original idea. To fully enjoy the experience you need to upgrade your booking. Rooms are small but very nicely arranged and equipped ( Nespresso machine, speakers and charger for IPod ). Staff is very friendly.

Great location just across from the botanical gardens and a short walk into the center of the city. This hotel is trendy. The front desk staff are fantastic. The rooms are modern, clean, comfortable beds and linens, nice touch with a Nespresso in the room. We were very comfortable here and look forward to our return toward the end of... More

Well, there is no air conditioning but you are inside a medieval church. The rooms look lovely but on the small side, the service impecable. I arrived really late and when they found out nothing on the menu grabbed my attention they offered me a delicious selection of cheese. The wine was excellent, a very good breakfast. I will stay...

Interesting hotel - good location - have stayed in better in France at this price - unfortunately our stay was marred by inconsiderate noisy and energetic fellow guests (you know who you are) so would suggest soundproofing not brilliant. no climate control - recycled air blown into rooms unfortunately smell of smoking - again inconsiderate guests not sure if it...

This striking, modern boutique hotel is built in an old church. It’s located next to the lovely botanical garden, close to the station, and not far from the chateau and the cathedral. If you need to go farther afield there’s a very good, modern tram service from the station. Occasionally the hotel’s modern design and fittings forget about form following... More

The staff were very welcoming and helpful at all times. The breakfast was excellent and very good value for the quality. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The location next to the Jardin des Plantes gave a nearby space for relaxing and it was only a 10-15 walk into the town centre. For travellers arriving by train the... More
