Hôtel Restaurant SPA Le Tumulus

Hotel located at the back of Carnac town, just below the famous Tumulus St Michel, with great views across the town and out to sea. The Tumulus is 5 minutes up the hill at the rear of the hotel. Parking at hotel. The outbuilding rooms are more expensive but worth the price with nice front gardens and a terrace. High quality finishes in the bedrooms. Friendly staff and a nice restaurant in the hotel. Breakfast also good. Nice place for a Carnac stay. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed everything about our stay: the room with a terrace of our own, the heated pool, the spa and the massages, the breakfast and the dinners, the location right next to the tumulus and with walking and bike trails as well as a short walk into town.

Our first visit to Carnac and the Tumulus. What a great choice it turned out to be! The staff were the most friendly and helpful we encountered in France this year - nothing was too much trouble, and we were made to feel welcome. Location is exceptional, near the tumulus, but still an easy walk into town. Plenty of free car parking, and bicycle hire is available too. Our room was one of the newer ground floor rooms, which was quiet and spacious, and perfect for us. We did not master the heating/cooling system (the room was very warm even though the weather wasn't), but it was our fault that we didn't get round to asking for assistance. The weather also meant the pool was a little chilly, but the setting is every bit as nice as the photos show. The restaurant was closed on the day we arrived (Monday) but we had been told in advance. Dinner on the second night was very enjoyable, and the service was as we would expect. Breakfasts were also excellent and properly staffed. Happy memories all in all, and we hope to return before too long.

I am slow to write a bad review but!!! We booked a room with a panoramic view. We got a room overlooking the car park and a pebble covered roof. It had,however, the advantage of a permanently dripping tap! We asked for a change and we're intriguingly told it 'would improve later'. No room change no tap fix occurred. We eat in the restaurant on night one which was very good. When we booked for night two ( at same time of day)we were told it was full !!!! We were offered no alternative food either bar food or sandwich. And the wifi is beyond spotty. We give 2 stars because of the restaurant

Calm, discrete and professional establishment. Would go back again. Beautiful location with garden and hill view which is worth the short climb. Room on ground floor which was bigger than expected which is always a pleasure. Outside bar area is also appreciated as the weather was good.

This was our second hotel of our Bretagne trip (Aug-2022, Plouider & Carnac). Our first hotel in this tour was a 4 star one, Hotel Tumulus has 3 stars. So we knew we should lower our expectations a bit. In both hotels we reserved a standard room. What we liked: - Location of the hotel, at walking distance from the city center (with some shops and restaurants), with plenty of parking space - The overall friendly staff - The heated swimming pool - The Wifi - Breakfast and diner were according expectations (though the speed of serving at diner should be lowered, as we asked a few times) - Great view from the restaurant - The size of our room What we didn't like about our room - As a visitor you DON'T FEEL WELCOME when getting Room #3 (using CAPS is considered as shouting, I know that) - This room has a separate entrance, which is somewhat hidden and not radiating hospitality. - The door handle of the toilet room came loose (was fixed quickly after reporting it) - The toilet room has no hand washing facilities - The lighting in the bathroom wasn't functioning (2 spots working, one flickering and one defect, was more or less fixed quickly after reporting it) - The shower door has a gap of 5 cm at the bottom and looks filthy - When fixing the door handle and the bathroom lights, a safe was installed too, in the cupboard, while we were away. This means that a hotel employee had to move some of our personal belongings. This is a professional mistake you should never ever make again (and no, there was nothing spectacular in the cupboard) - You might say we have a view on the chapel, but only when opening the toilet room window - You might say we have a garden view, but then you'd have to ignore the view on the terraces of the neighbors - As we had reserved a standard room, we did not opt for asking another one (and we had chapel view and garden view, so what's there to complain?) Opportunities for the hotel: - Consider fixing the front door. It's there where your guests get the first impression. The door is hard to open and quite often gets stuck when opened. - Adding a pop-up bar near the swimming pool would add a lot of ambiance to the setting - At the tumulus side, some kind of terrace is offered but it isn't available a lot. Why not put a food truck there? Last notes: I know it have been difficult years for the tourist sector and good staff is hard to find. And I don't enjoy writing reviews with complaints. Please take my review as input to further improve (what a company should always want to).
