This is the 2nd time we’ve chosen to stay in this hotel, this time our bedroom and the bathroom were much bigger and very comfortable. Overlooking the inner courtyard meant it was very quiet. The location couldn’t be better, a minute walk from the sea wall and beach in one direction and shops, restaurants etc in the other. Staff were friendly and very helpful. We had our dog with us and she was made just as welcome. We’ll certainly stay there again but avoid August as, with the French on holiday, St Malo was extremely busy, we’d prefer a quieter time!

Smoke goes right in the front door with all the smokers in the restaurant out front. Could smell smoke linger in the halls and stairs. Uncomfortable beds made for a bad stay for me. Great location though.

Room 107 spacious for a family of 4. Clean room and bathroom. 2 of the 3 beds were comfortable with mattress toppers but the main bed didn’t have mattress toppers like the other ones had, so was not comfortable. Too many smokers right outside hotel at their restaurant, and smoke went right into the lobby as the doors opened. I could smell smoke in the lobby, hallway, and stairs. You had to walk through the smoke in front of the front door to enter into the front door. Not healthy for air quality given the tobacco use out front. No mini fridge to keep leftover perishable food (or baby food if needed), no electric kettle, and no coffee maker in rooms which is pretty standard now. No water purification refilling station in lobby to cut down plastic water bottles for the environment. I think the hotel could improve by making 4 changes if they wished to improve it for customers. 1. Make a big non-smoking area in the front of the hotel restaurant, and put a limited smoking section far off to the side (nowhere close to where guests have to walk by to get into the hotel). Or better, would be to not allow any smoking at the restaurant outside. 2. add mini fridges, electric kettles, and coffee makers to the rooms. 3. Add water purification bottle refilling station downstairs in lobby. 4. Add free coffee and tea in lobby.

Room was fine, breakfast was expensive, staff forced me to pay for another room (because we had 4 guests total) despite the fact I reserved the 4 bed room online. The floors and walls are paper thin, so I learned the entire life story of the people staying above us. We asked the front desk for some tissues, because there weren’t any in the room. The lady told us that since they were only a 3 star hotel, they didn’t have any. I was unaware that tissues are only available in 4 star hotels Also parking is a nightmare, the front door was broken so I had to enter and leave the hotel through the bar (with stairs) with my son’s stroller. Everything else was amazing.

Central, friendly but basic and issues with smell

Positives - central location, friendly check-in service. Negatives - we had issue with neighbors smoking the whole night which with a draft coming through our door, filled our room with smoke smell. Keeping our window open the whole night did not really help. So overall we had quite a bad nights sleep which impacts the whole experience. Reception was quick to try help but the smell was still there unfortunately. Bathroom also smelled a bit (drain smell) so we kept the door closed. Basic and small room with no amenities like kettle, coffee or fridge. But otherwise it was ok, relatively modern and very central location (no parking though)

This is the perfect spot to stay in Saint Malo. Just inside the walls and very close to parking (no stairs for suitcases). It is also right next to access to the ramparts. Lost of delicious food options near by including the restaurant at the hotel, which is lively and filled with customers. The rooms are a nice size and very clean. Honestly, I was worried with the rating but the hotel is much better than the overall rating suggests. Also, it is not loud at night. At least our room was not.
