“Sozo Hotel distinguishes itself with a striking conversion of a 19th-century chapel, blending historical architecture and modern boutique design. Its proximity to both the Jardin des Plantes and the central train station makes it exceptionally convenient, though some may find the rooms compact. Overall, the hotel offers a memorable stay due to its unique setting and prime location in Nantes.”
