Escale Oceania Nantes

Actually, I could say that I was upgraded because I booked a room at the Escale Oceania but I ended up staying at the Oceania Hotel that night. When I arrived at 1.30a.m. at the hotel Escale Oceania I found that its front door closed and it was dark inside. I was bewildered. How come? I had sent a message and spoke to someone on the phone about the delay of my flight and the time of arrival could be after 1a.m. and I was reassured that the room would be waiting for me. However, the Oceania Hotel was still open with bright light so I pushed my trolley back there. I was told that I would be put into a room in the Oceania Hotel that night. The room here is bigger than the room at the Escale Oceania and had more luxe.

To be perfect I could have been told to approach the Oceania Hotel. I should have been told that my room would be there that night. Because I was not told I pushed the trolley of my luggage past the Oceania Hotel and had to come back there later. So when talking about perfection of the service at this level this could be improved. But all ended well. I was happy that the reception at the Oceania Hotel is open 24 hrs. and someone there waiting for me to give me a key to my room.

The hotel is easy to find, with the name of its sister hotel perched high up as a landmark opposite the airport. This sign of its sister hotel does not only give an easy quick access to and from the airport so very early in the morning or very very late at night but it also gave me a kind of reassurance after landing late at night. Staff were friendly and helpful both at the reception and in the restaurant. The restaurant offers a delicious meal in a beautiful dining room at a reasonable price.

Only the price. I think it is highly overpriced and it is pinching. Truely the room is big enough, very clean and modern and surrounded with a beautiful garden. Even with all that I still think it would be better if the price could come down at least 10 per cents. But why do they have to do that ? The hotel serves the needs of the travellers, being right opposite the airport just across a car park and there is no big competition to be seen.

Good English spoken. Everyone was very polite and friendly. Good food in restaurant at a reasonable price. Very comfortable bedroom. Excellent location for Nantes Airport and returning the hire car. We only stayed here as easyJet cancelled our flight from La Rochelle on the Friday evening - with the next available flight from Nantes on the Saturday morning. What could have been an inconvenience, the Escale Oceania turned in to to a terrific way to end our holiday. Thank you :-)

Would have liked to have stayed longer!

It is in easy walking distance of the airport and to be fair it is hard to fault this hotel. The rooms are nice, quiet and the bed comfortable - essentially the hotel is good! I definitely stay again.

Whilst the hotel is good I ended up paying with breakfast a little more than 180 euro which puts the hotel at more expensive than the likes of the new Sheraton at Bordeaux airport to which it does not compare favorably.

Very comfortable hotel within a short walk of the airport or a free courtesy bus which we used for our flight the following morning. Its sister hotel next door has light meals and drinks available at reasonable cost. The two hotels are in a nice little oasis of parkland next to the airport.

Not convenient to city centre although but we used it as it was superbly convenient for our flight the following morning.

- Location: very convenient, walking distance to the airport. - Excellent soundproof. - Nice room, clean and bed comfortable. - Friendly staff.

- Breakfast was simple but good. I would have liked the option of some salad and raw vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber). - Parking fee. 10EUR per day. - Price quite high for a 3 stars.

I was originally booked into the Escale Oceania; however as this was closed that night, I was accommodated in the Escale's nearby sister hotel, the Hôtel Oceania. This is an excellent airport hotel that delivered everything I wanted from an airport hotel: a comfortable quiet room, a good night's sleep, and pleasant, helpful staff - and of course proximity to flight departures: the airport terminal is a simple seven minutes' walk from hotel reception.

On the next refurbishment it would be useful to add power points for recharging electronic devices next to the bedside tables. Otherwise, for me, perfect.

Proximity to the airport; allowed use of the pool at hotel affiliate next door. Bar in each hotel - larger in the affiliate.

Had a hard time with air conditioning. Set to 68F. Room was at least 80 F. That caused the HEAT to run. Think poor calibration but it caused 1/2 hour delay in going to bed (early flight). Good thing I am engineer and figured it out. Staff was not knowledgable...

Ideal location for a very early flight the next morning. The hotel is a 7 min walk from where the Navette Aéroport leaves you. Just look for the Oceania Hotel building.

A bit expensive. But it's either this or stay further away and book a taxi, which adds to the cost.

The beds were very comfortable! Room spacious and clean. Breakfast also really good.

The shuttle bus stops at 11pm eventhough some flights arrive later. The hotel is really close from the airport but it is not very easy to access but small kids and suitcases. Also more fresh fruits could be served at breakfast
