Very happy with our stay
Best part of our stay on the island. The monument is impressive, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant menu is limited but we were happy with the ambiance and food. We would recommend the hotel for those who appreciate historical buildings

amazing location
Fabulous location, needs a little bit of updating - the room was a luxury room with a balcony overlooking the sea which was fab but the shower was in the bath with no hook or screen so you had to sit in the bath to have a shower The customer service was very poor on arrival; we had struggled up the hill with bags from the port - i could not and still cannot see any info about a courtesy bus on the website - there was no one at the desk at 19:00; a member of staff had just walked out the door as i arrived with other guests but said nothing, staff were in the bar but no one came over or said anything until a phone rang when a manager came flying over - no eye contact or word with me answered the phone and then left! after 10 mins a member of staff came up - no word of apology and proceeded to give us a guided tour whilst we were carrying heavy bags Apart from this we had no dealings with hotel staff during our 5 night stay until departure which was dealt with very quickly and efficiently with a lift to the port

A Night (or 3) at the Museum
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 historic location for a short stay
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.

An amazing historic building that is a hotel!
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.

Absolutely magical.
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.

Belle Hotel on belle Ile
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

Great escape !
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...

Très très décevant
Emplacement exceptionnel, personnel très aimable, mais l’hôtel et son équipement a globalement très mal vieilli et ne dispose d’aucune des commodités que tout le monde recherche aujourd’hui dans un hôtel disposant d’un minimum de confort : pas de tv, pas de wifi, pas de sèche serviette, baignoire des années 90… bref, pour une suite à 370€/nuit, ma femme et moi étions profondément déçu, avec quasiment le sentiment de nous être fait voler. Dommage car tout le personnel est clairement devoué et l’emplacement est tout simplement magique.

Tres decu ! Heureux d'être parti apres 2 jours
Très déçu. Un 4 étoiles au prix d'un 5. Les points positifs: Yoan le chauffeur de la navette qui est juste parfait. Sébastien à la réception qui fait de son mieux. Et le barman Evan qui est super adorable et pro. Une vue depuis les terrasses des chambres à couper le souffle. La déco fait un peu brocante mais il y a plus à voir à lnterieur du château que dans le musée lui même. Pour le reste au secours: A la réception, Sébastien subit une femme désagréable et désinvolte avec lui et les clients. Les chambres manquent des plus simple équipements (baignoire cassé, sèche serviette hors service,... pas de Tv, bouilloire,...) gros problème car pas de réseau portable, ni de wifi. Les murs s'effritent, établissements à éviter si vous êtes allergique. La piscine est juste scandaleusement sale, filtre ouvert. et pourtant l'eau est contrôler par l'ARS, étrange... Les chambres sentent l'humidité. La baignoire en plus de ne pas être réparée n'a pas de rideaux, quel galère de prendre une douche du coup. Manque de prises électrique partout, de lumière,... manque de tout (ni réfrigérateur, ni bouilloire, rien...) Petit déjeuné dans une salle minuscule avec un mélange avec un serveur pro et courtois et une femme qui ne semble être concernée par rien et surtout pas son travail, et très désagréable voir agressive, nous avons faillit repartir. A la réception, pour 300 euro la nuit on vous demande si ce sera nécessaire de refaire la chambre, c'était la blague du jour ! LOL Bienvenue au monastère !

Der Blick aus dem Hotelfenster auf Hafen und Meer, das Gekreische der Möwen, das ist einzigartig, die ganze Schlossanlage ist sehr gepflegt, das Hotelpersonal freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Frühstück reichhaltig. Man ist aber in einem alten Schloss, die Zimmer sind zwar grosszügig, aber seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr renoviert, zum Beispiel gibts keine Dusche, bloss eine Sitzbadewanne. WLAN gibts bloss an der Reception. Trotz allem wars wunderbar.
