Budget travellers, families and anyone staying a few nights will get the most from it. The aparthotel scores 8.6 out of 10 from 3,119 guest reviews and was about 30% below the city median price. It lists family rooms, free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk and facilities for disabled guests, and it is tagged as pet friendly. Check the pet policy and any fee directly.
Those who want full hotel service or extras such as a spa will not find them in our data. People visiting for motor racing should note that the Musée des 24 Heures du Mans is about 5.3 km away.
Location and getting around
You will find it at 7 Rue Barbier, in what the listing calls the top-rated area of Le Mans. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10.
Le Mans Cathedral is about 0.7 km away, roughly 9 minutes on foot. L'Épau Abbey is about 3.9 km, around 49 minutes, and the Musée des 24 Heures du Mans about 5.3 km, around 66 minutes. Both of those are far on foot, so plan on public transport or a taxi. Guests mention tram stops nearby. All walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been checked.
What guests say
Two themes stand out. Guests like the central setting near the old town, the cathedral, shops and tram stops. They also say the studios and apartments are kept spotless.
Parking draws the main complaint. There is secure underground parking, but guests point out that there is no direct lift from the car park to reception, which is awkward with heavy bags.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) were about €70 per night, against a sample median of about €100. These are not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Mercure Le Mans Centre, was about €139 per night with a score of 8.5 and 4 stars. The Luxury pick, Hotel Leprince, Best Western Premier Collection, scored 8.8 and was about €124, oddly cheaper than the Mercure on those dates. Odalys costs roughly half of either. You give up the fourth star and hotel-style service, but the guest score sits between the other two.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Le Mans. Once the upscale choice was set aside, Odalys had the lowest eligible reference price, and it shares the second-highest guest score in the sample. A low price with a high score from over 3,000 reviews is what we look for in a Budget pick.
