Family Hotels in Quimper, Between Odet and Coast

Mercure Quimper Kerlic has an indoor swimming pool, which I value in Brittany because it works whatever the weather does. Family rooms come with garden or city views, air conditioning and private bathrooms. Parents get a spa with a sauna and a fitness centre, there is a sun terrace, and the modern restaurant serves French and local cuisine with dietary options. Breakfast includes local specialities. Guests rate it 9.2, though from only 15 reviews.

Hôtel Ginkgo occupies a listed character building in the Locmaria district of Quimper, the cradle of Quimper earthenware, close to the Henriot factory and the earthenware museum, two visits that show children how the famous painted faience is made. Rooms and suites are spacious and contemporary, some with views of the Odet river, and the city centre is a pleasant walk away along a flowered path.

I would choose Kyriad Quimper Sud for a cycling trip or a stop by car, 4 km from Saint-Corentin Cathedral. The hotel is certified Accueil Vélo, which means it caters to cyclists. Rooms have Wi-Fi and satellite TV, a daily breakfast buffet is served, and the reception is open 24 hours. Free private parking is available for drivers, which keeps the stop simple.

I would book the ibis Styles Quimper for a family looking for an easy-going base with parking. The hotel stands opposite the historic Château de Lanniron, and it welcomes both families and pets. Rooms are comfortable with private bathrooms and free WiFi. The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine, there is a bar and a winter garden, and a 24-hour snack service helps with hungry children at odd hours. Private parking is free.

Escale Oceania Quimper Centre is a contemporary hotel 200 metres from Quimper Cathedral and the train station, so families arriving by rail can walk straight into the old town. Rooms are modern, with walk-in showers and separate toilets, a practical layout when several people share a room. The on-site restaurant serves traditional French cuisine, there is a bar, room service is available and pets are accepted.

The beaches are about 15 km away, and pets are accepted for families travelling with a dog.

I would book the Brit Hotel Quimper Sud for a family on a road trip through Finistère. The rooms are air-conditioned and open directly outside, which makes unloading the car and stepping out with children easy. Parking is secure and video-monitored, WiFi is free, and pets are accepted. A dining room with a bar and a terrace cover the evening, and the heritage centre of Quimper, with its cathedral, is the main sight nearby.

Manoir des Indes in Quimper offers family rooms with garden views, parquet floors, a minibar and free WiFi, which gives everyone space after a day exploring Finistère. The indoor swimming pool is a reliable plan when the Breton weather turns, and parents can use the spa, wellness centre and sauna. Picnic spots and outdoor seating in the grounds suit children, and free on-site parking helps families travelling by car.

I would choose this ibis budget for a family on the road near Quimper. It has 48 rooms, each with a double bed and a bunk bed, so a family of four fits in one room. The hotel is a ten-minute drive from the centre, with private outdoor parking, free Wi-Fi and a buffet breakfast. Pets are welcome, and facilities for disabled guests are available.

Mercure Quimper Centre stands directly opposite the train station, which I find the easiest start for a family arriving by rail. The hotel was recently renovated, and its 500 m² terrace gives children room while parents sit at the bar. Saint-Corentin Cathedral and the medieval fortifications are within walking distance, and pets are welcome. Its 7.7 score over 331 reviews is modest for a four-star, so I see it as a practical choice rather than a destination.

What I would point out to families is the games room and the bike hire, both handy for keeping children busy around Quimper. There is also a terrace, a bar, free WiFi and bicycle parking, and pets are accepted. Its 7.3 score across 502 reviews is modest, so I see it as a practical, simple stop.

I would choose HOTEL Eco Green for a family stay in Quimper where a garden matters. Family rooms have private bathrooms, balconies and garden views.
