About this stay
ibis Lorient Centre Gare trades polish for practicality, and does it well: a five-minute walk covers the train station, the Congress Centre, the town centre and the Port de Plaisance, so arriving without a car stays realistic whichever direction the day's plans take. Rooms keep it simple, with a flat-screen TV, a desk, air conditioning and a private shower room, some adapted for guests with reduced mobility. The 24-hour bar fills in for the restaurant the hotel no longer runs, with snacks available around the clock rather than tied to set dining hours. Val Queven Golf Course sits eight kilometres out, and the Scorff River is an eight-minute walk from the front door for a quieter stretch away from the harbour crowds.

Our take
ibis Lorient Centre Gare is the practical three-star I would book for an early departure from Lorient: it is five minutes on foot from the station, the Congress Centre and the Port de Plaisance, and the buffet breakfast starts at four in the morning, running until ten. Rooms are air-conditioned and the bar is open around the clock. Golfers heading to Val Quéven can make an early start too. It scores 7.9 from 173 reviews.
- ✓Ask for an air-conditioned room facing away from the station forecourt for a quieter night's sleep.
- ✓Take the early breakfast slot if catching a train or heading out to Val Queven before nine.
- ✓Walk the eight minutes to the Scorff River on a free morning rather than staying near the station.

Why guests love itibis Lorient Centre Gare is five minutes' walk from the Gare de Lorient, the Congress Centre and the Port de Plaisance, and I would book it for families catching an early train or ferry. The buffet breakfast starts at four in the morning and runs until ten, so nobody leaves hungry. Rooms are air-conditioned, and the 24-hour bar is there for a late drink. Golfers will note Val Quéven nearby. Its 7.9 rating is fair.
