Great hotel

We used this hotel as a stop off on our way down south. It had friendly, helpful staff, great room with everything you need, including air conditioning, and free WiFi. Also use of a good, clean swimming pool on a hot day. We had a wonderful evening meal. I would recommend a stay at this hotel.

Nice Hotel!

We only had a one night stay, but enjoyed it. The hotel décor feels a little old fashioned, but it is a pleasant place to stay with comfortable, clean rooms, a good breakfast and a nice pool & garden area. The kids enjoyed the small playground too.

Overnight stay on journey south

I chose this hotel because it had a family room, was reasonably priced and was a convenient distance from St Malo and our holiday destination. Apart from having to wait 45 minutes for the room to be ready - we were told the room would be ready from 3pm onwards, but, unfortunately it wasn't, the hotel was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly in the restaurant.

This is the 41st time we have stayed at this Hotel on our regular trips to our holiday home in France. It just gets better every year. The setting is great and the restaurant offers a great choice of food and wine. The buffet for the starters is great

Le Rabelais - the best place to stay in F-le-C

A very friendly hotel in the rather dull town of Fontenay-le-Comte. Food is superb, so dine in the hotel restaurant - you will struggle to find anywhere else to eat in the town.

friendly and nice with children

good clean room, exactly as shown, requests made in advance for toddler were all in place. We were the only English speaking guest, as it is really a place for locals and staff were a bit rusty on their language skills, really made an effort and so did we in french so that comms were no issue. Extremely friendly, nice heated outside pool, small children play area and really good garden for children to run around. good food, not too expensive, good base for puy do fou theme park.

Going with the Dogs

When you are travelling with two pet dogs most French hotels usually welcoming, but the facilites for the pets, a small wood, large lawn and access directly from a grond floor room are perfect. add to this friendly service and an excellent restaurant, at attractive prices and little wonder that Le Rabelais is a must-stop hotel on our regular trips from England to our house in Gascony. Highly recommended.
