About
The Hôtel L’Océan stands at 4 place Gambetta, right on the harbour of Vannes. From here you can walk to the Porte Saint-Vincent, the walled town, the ramparts and the boat departures for the Gulf of Morbihan. This family-run address has more than fifty years of history. It has 10 rooms, about half overlooking the harbour and the rest facing the ramparts. The comfort is deliberately simple: this is not a sophisticated boutique hotel, but a central, practical and affordable address. Pets are welcome, and there is a tactile guide strip for visually impaired guests. However, the rooms are not accessible to guests with reduced mobility. The brasserie on the ground floor is a real neighbourhood spot, serving non-stop from noon to 11.30pm. The bar opens in the morning and breakfast is served from 7am to 11am, ideal for early departures and leisure stays alike.
