City Apartments and Aparthotels in Rennes
Rennes lists four places as city apartments, and the scores split clearly. Sezam Appart-Hotel Rennes leads with 9.0 on 1,575 reviews and 19 apartments with kitchenettes in the station district. Appart'hôtel Odalys City - Rennes Lorgeril has the largest sample, 8.2 on 3,581 reviews, with studios and suites near Saint Anne metro station. Le Nemours Rennes, 8.3 on 2,617, mixes hotel rooms and apartments, and Mercure Rennes Centre Place Bretagne, 8.4 on 841, is a hotel. I would start with Sezam for a kitchenette stay, and pick Odalys when you need studios for a family.
Rennes is the capital of Brittany, with a medieval old town, half-timbered houses, an Opera House and a Fine Arts Museum, a TGV station and a metro line. The centre is compact and walkable, and the station district is a short walk from it. For apartment stays, the main choice is between the station side and the centre near the Opera.

Kitchenettes by the station and near the Opera
Rennes apartment stays gather around two areas: the station district, where Sezam stands, and the centre near Saint Anne metro and the Opera House, where Odalys and Le Nemours are. Sezam and Odalys are the true self-catering options, Le Nemours offers a mix, and Mercure Place Bretagne is a hotel near Place de la République and Saint-Pierre Cathedral. The scores run from 8.2 to 9.0, all on samples above 800 reviews.
Sezam Appart-Hotel Rennes is the apartment stay I would choose first. It offers 19 well-designed apartments, each with a kitchenette, in the train station district, a short walk from the city centre. The description presents it as a base for both leisure and business travellers who want comfort and independence. It scores 9.0 on 1,575 reviews, the best score on the page with a large sample, and the small number of apartments suggests a quieter building than a large residence. I would book it for a week with a train arrival. The 19-apartment size is the main difference from larger residences.
Appart'hôtel Odalys City - Rennes Lorgeril is the one with the most reviews, 3,581 at 8.2. It offers studios and suites with modern decor and kitchenettes, a fitness centre and free WiFi, and it stands near Saint Anne metro station, the Opera House and the Fine Arts Museum. It is described as ideal for families and for guests travelling with pets. The score is lower than Sezam's, so I would read the recent comments before booking, but the sample is large and the location is one of the most central on the page. It is the most central of the true apartment options on the page.
Le Nemours Rennes offers hotel rooms and apartments in the centre of the city, minutes from the historic centre, shops and restaurants. Guests have free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk and a daily buffet breakfast with organic and local products, and the property is pet-friendly and suitable for families. It scores 8.3 on 2,617 reviews. Because it lists both rooms and apartments, I would ask which type has the kitchen when booking, and I would choose it for a family that wants a central base with a hotel-style breakfast. The organic and local products at breakfast are its most distinctive detail.
Mercure Rennes Centre Place Bretagne is a hotel, and I prefer to say so. It offers rooms with satellite TV, a Chromecast system, a safe and a private bathroom with Nuxe toiletries, secure on-site parking and free WiFi, near the metro, Place de la République and Saint-Pierre Cathedral. Some rooms are adapted for guests with limited mobility. It scores 8.4 on 841 reviews. I would use it for a short stay with a car, since the secure parking is the practical detail, and use Sezam or Odalys when you want to cook. The Nuxe toiletries and the Chromecast are small extras that set it apart from simpler hotels.
A traveler's take
For a week in Rennes I would choose Sezam Appart-Hotel Rennes: 9.0 on 1,575 reviews, 19 apartments with kitchenettes and a short walk from the centre. For a family with a pet, I recommend Appart'hôtel Odalys City - Rennes Lorgeril, with studios, suites and a central location near the Opera. My advice is to treat Mercure Place Bretagne as a hotel, and to ask Le Nemours which units have kitchens.

Sezam Appart-Hotel Rennes
Independent city apartments with kitchenettes near Rennes train station
Why guests love itSezam Appart-Hotel Rennes has just 19 apartments, each with a kitchenette, and I find that a good fit for families who want to prepare simple meals and keep their own rhythm. It sits in the train station district, so arriving by TGV with children and bags is straightforward, and Rennes city centre is a short walk away. There are no pool or restaurant facilities to rely on, so this is an independent, self-catering base.

Why guests love itThe choice between hotel rooms and apartments is what I find most useful for families at Le Nemours Rennes: an apartment gives a family more space right in the city centre. The historic centre, shops and restaurants are only minutes away on foot. The daily buffet breakfast features organic and local products, a good start before a day of sightseeing, and the 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals. Wi-Fi is free, and pets are welcome.
