I spent two nights at Hôtel de la Corniche in Brest and it truly felt like discovering a hidden gem. The place has the quaint charm of a British cottage, with an interior that is both warm and tastefully decorated. It is wonderfully quaint and full of character — a far cry from impersonal modern hotels. The common areas are beautifully maintained, with thoughtful touches everywhere: carved wooden furniture, a vintage chandelier, a cozy fireplace, and nautical accents that remind you you're in Brittany. I especially appreciated the effort to create a welcoming atmosphere — it's a place that invites you to slow down and relax. The owner was exceptionally friendly, the kind of host who genuinely enjoys talking to his guests and sharing stories. His warm hospitality made all the difference. My room was very comfortable, with a good mattress, a large bathroom, and the toilet conveniently located separately but still within the room. The blinds on the windows were perfect for blocking out the light and heat, which is a big plus in summer. Other great perks included: • Breakfast included, simple but satisfying. • A private covered parking area, completely free of charge. • A drinking fountain in the lobby with both iced cold water and hot water for tea or coffee — such a thoughtful touch! I didn’t focus on photographing the room (which you can see easily on this site), but I wanted to share some photos of the ambience and beautiful decor so people get a better feel for the soul of the place. If you're looking for a peaceful, authentic stay in Brest, I highly recommend this hotel. I left with a smile and a sense of having stayed somewhere truly special.

The proprietor was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and the breakfast very good.

Personally I would have preferred a thinner pillow as those provided were all so generous that I found it difficult to get comfortable. Also, the toilet is not in the bathroom but in an extremely small room off the bedroom, with no window or washing facilities. Otherwise it was perfect for our needs.

Comfortable, clean with buffet breakfast and good parking facilities. Not an easy walk down to Brest but it didn't stop us doing it twice. Overall it was a nice stay at the end of our holiday on the way to the ferry port.

Nothing to dislike.

The place had an old fashioned charm with very friendly staff and in a quiet location
