Overview & Location
Métropolis Residence is a student housing property located at 35000 Rennes, France. It sits in a convenient spot within the city, close to public transport and everyday amenities. The residence offers studio and one-bedroom unit types, with monthly rents ranging from 705 € to 930 € — indicative amounts that you should confirm directly with the operator. The minimum lease term is 5 months, and the property will be available from 9 July 2026.
The location is praised for its walkability. A C4 bus stop at the end of the small street provides quick access to the city centre and the local business school. Residents also mention that a McDonald’s is within walking distance. The residence’s Google rating is 4.8 out of 5 based on 44 reviews, suggesting consistent satisfaction among tenants.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
Suits:
- Students who value social connection. Reviews highlight that the manager actively puts tenants from the same school in contact with one another. This makes it easier for new arrivals to meet peers and build a community, especially helpful for international students.
- Those who need a short-term lease (5‑month minimum). The flexibility of a 5‑month minimum means you are not locked into a full academic year if your programme is shorter or if you plan to move after one semester.
- Pet owners. The property tags include “Pet Friendly”, so you can bring your cat or dog without having to search for separate pet‑approved housing.
- Residents who want on‑site amenities. The residence features a laundry facility and a gym. Having these in the building reduces daily errands and saves time.
- Budget‑conscious students seeking the city’s entry‑level price. The starting price of 705 € per month is exactly the city’s lowest observed rent for a student property (based on current listings). This makes it one of the most affordable options in Rennes.
Doesn’t suit:
- Students who need a shorter lease (under 5 months). The minimum stay is 5 months, so if your programme runs for only one or two months, this residence may not be suitable.
- People who prefer a private bathroom and kitchen in a studio. The property does offer studio units, but you should check whether those are fully self‑contained or if they share any facilities. (The data does not specify en‑suite vs. private, so confirm with the operator.)
- Those seeking accommodation in other parts of Rennes. As of July 2026, this is the only student property listed in the city from this platform. If you want to compare multiple buildings or neighbourhoods, you may need to look beyond this single residence.
- Students arriving before 9 July 2026. The earliest move‑in date is set for that date. If your programme starts in June or earlier, you will need alternative accommodation until then.
What Residents Actually Say
Reviews from Google (verbatim) shed light on daily life at Métropolis Residence:
Eva (5‑star review):
“The residence is close to everything. The C4 bus at the end of the small street takes me quickly to the Rennes School of Business. I was able to meet lsome students here from my school. The manager makes the effort to put in contact the tenants of the same schools. It’s rather welcoming when you don’t know anyone when”
Eva’s comment underscores the community‑building efforts of the management and the convenience of transport. The typo (“lsome”) is in the original and does not detract from the positive sentiment.
jepkoech kendagor (4‑star review):
“Beautiful residence designed for students. Situated in a convenient place, near bus stops and McDonald’s is a walking distance from here. You can easily get to the city centre from the residence.”
This review confirms the practical location: proximity to public transport and quick meals, plus easy access to central Rennes.
Diego Bejarano (5‑star review):
“Very nice place, I just arrived on Sunday and I am happy there. Suggestions: You should do as soon as you can the electricity contract”
Diego highlights a hands‑on tip for new tenants: setting up an electricity contract promptly. This suggests that the residence may not include electricity in the rent, or that you need to register it yourself. Always confirm with the operator what utilities are covered.
The collective feedback points to a welcoming, conveniently located property where management fosters social connections. No negative reviews appear in the sample, though the overall 4.8 rating with 44 reviews indicates high satisfaction.
Price Positioning & Room Type Guidance
The monthly rent range at Métropolis Residence is 705 €–930 €. The starting price matches the lowest rent observed across all student properties in Rennes (also 705 €). For context, the city’s student housing market appears limited (only 1 property listed), so this residence essentially sets the price benchmark.
- Studio vs. one‑bedroom: The property offers both “studio” and “1b” (likely one‑bedroom) units. A studio typically combines living and sleeping areas with a separate bathroom and kitchenette; a one‑bedroom provides a separate bedroom. The higher end of the price range (930 €) probably corresponds to a larger one‑bedroom unit. Decide based on your need for privacy and space.
- What to ask the operator: Confirm exact sizes, whether the studio includes a full kitchen, and whether utilities (electricity, water, internet) are included or extra. As Diego’s review suggests, you may need to set up an electricity contract yourself — clarify this before booking.
All prices stated are indicative and must be confirmed with the operator before any commitment.
Booking Timing & Practical Notes
The property becomes available from 9 July 2026. If you plan to move in around that date, it is sensible to start your search in early to mid‑2026. Because this is the only student property listed in Rennes from this source, competition for rooms could be higher. There is no mention of a deposit in the data — you should ask the operator about any required upfront payment.
Key points to verify with the residence:
- Exact move‑in date and whether early arrival is possible.
- Deposit amount and refund terms.
- What the monthly rent covers (e.g., water, heating, internet, gym access).
- Procedure for setting up electricity if not included.
- Whether pets are allowed in all unit types (the tag suggests yes, but confirm).
The data (accessed July 2026) shows availability starting 2026‑07‑09. After that date, rooms may be booked for the 2026/27 academic year or for shorter stays. If you need housing for a different timeframe, check back regularly or use the on‑site assistant to see live availability.
FAQ
Is the residence pet‑friendly?
Yes. The property includes “Pet Friendly” in its listed tags. However, it is advisable to confirm with the operator whether there are any restrictions on pet size, breed, or number of animals, and whether a pet deposit or additional fee is required.
What is the minimum lease length?
The minimum lease term is 5 months. This allows flexibility for semester‑long study programmes or other short‑term stays. If you need a lease shorter than 5 months, you should look for other housing options.
Are utilities included in the monthly rent?
The data does not specify which utilities are covered. One resident’s review advises tenants to set up an electricity contract as soon as they arrive, suggesting that electricity may not be included. Contact the operator directly to ask about water, heating, electricity, internet, and maintenance fees — and whether any are subject to extra monthly charges.
