Citadelle Vauban Hôtel Musée

The Citadelle Vauban Hôtel Musée was certainly a fantastic experience. Staying in an actual fortified museum with so much history in every nook and cranny was something that we will never forget. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful at check-in, showing us all the way to our room at the furthest reaches of the hotel. The room was extremely well presented and comfortable, and the view was to die for...looking out over the waterway towards Quiberon, and overlooking the harbour. Make sure you have a meal in the restaurant, as it was extremely good value for money, with the wait staff extremely professional and friendly. Also a visit to the museum (included in the stay) is a must. A fantastic way to visit Belle-Île-en-mer.

Wonderful place. Quiet. Friendly staff, especially Dennis. Great location. Opportunity to get plenty of exercise.

Incredible setting in a medieval fortress on a beautiful island

The Citadel is an immense site and the hotel is full of character which makes it a very special location for a memorable short stay.

The hotel is an amazing historical building and we had fantastic views over the sea. The room was very large and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and the island is a beautiful place, especially in the sun, with lots of places to explore. We hired electric bikes which was a first time experience which made getting around the island so easy. The hotel restaurant had a slightly limiting menu but there are plenty of restaurants in the town. Two slight negatives were the walking route from the port to the hotel is not clear, and at least 2 other couples lost their way. Also some of the staff seemed a bit indifferent in their approach to customer service.

Staying at Citadelle Vauban is like taking a trip back in time. The place is a cornucopia of history and everything is so beautifully preserved and presented. Every day we discovered a new and intriguing secret passageway or dungeon. And the view over the ocean is breathtaking. I will definitely return :-)

An imaginative, respectful and interesting transformation of one wing of a tremendous fortress into a hotel; superb site dominating the harbour.

This was a birthday visit and was perfect for us. The service was excellent as were all the facilities and restaurant. The staff were extremely helpful and I would definitely staff here again.

A luxury hotel set in a 16th century citadel. A spectacular opportunity to stay inside a museum but with all the comforts. Restaurant on property is terrific. Staff couldn't have been nicer, went out of the way to make our stay memorable

We loved it! - spectacular views and best location in Town, great room and very friendly staff. Very relaxing and peaceful retreat. I would definitely recommend staying there for a night or more, an ideal base to explore the island. I would also rate the restaurant which offers some great cuisine and top quality wines. Watch-out for the birds during your breakfast as these "goelands" also love your croissants! - great opportunity for nice close-up photos but these animals can be vicious...
