The hotel is right in the heart of the action - walking on the wall, dining, catching buses to other locales. Lovely accommodations. And thanks to the charming and fabulously helpful young woman at the desk, we were fortunate enough to get a window with a sea view!

A let down

Amazing location but that’s about it. St Malo is a lovely place, highly recommended. But choose a different hotel. We arrived at check in time but our room was not ready. We were told someone would bring us our keys in 15 minutes and asked to wait. The sofa we waited on was very broken. After 20 minutes no one had come over to us, so I rejoined the check in queue. We were “upgraded” to a junior suite. The room was very stuffy, the carpet and walls stained. The bed was 2 singles out together but with a very hard big lump between the 2 mattresses. There was a thermostat and air con unit on the wall but when turning this on it came up with an error message. I went to reception to tell them and ask if they could fix it, but the answer was that the room we have does not have air con. I was able to get a small desk fan from them thankfully. The shower is over the middle of the bath at waist height, so not over head without holding it yourself. Furniture also stained & old. Rooms in much need of an upgrade. For £250 on our wedding anniversary it was quite disappointing for the hotel.

Great hotel lovely room. The breakfast was not very good. The coffee machine was filthy. Stay far far away from the restaurant Le 5 which is on the rooftop. The service was horrendous. The waiter asked my husband if he wanted more bread, he said yes and gave him my son’s plate with the leftover bread on it. I ordered oysters and there were bits of shells in each, my main course baked fish was inedible. Very expensive too. Our room had a great view overlooking the water. I would highly recommend staying at the hotel. Just don’t eat there.

Pas de parking !!!

Par téléphone on m’a dissuadé de me rapprocher de l’hôtel afin d’y déposer mes bagages, on m’a conseillé de me garer au P+r Feval situé à 6 km de l’hôtel. Je précise que sur le site de l’hôtel il est indiqué qu’il y a un parking !!! Il n’est pas aisé de prendre les transports en commun avec un animal et tous les bagages… et que dire si nous avions un handicap moteur !!! Il fallut bien sûr récupérer la voiture le lendemain.

The hotel is in a great location for exploring the Intro Muros and very close to the tourist information and bus stops. I was disappointed with the size of the family room, compared with the pictures on the website. Also, we were right on the front of the hotel, above the main eating area, which we didn't mind, but some families may not like as it does stay noisy outside quite late on. Storage areas in the room were good and having the toilet separate to the bathroom was handy. We had very little interaction with hotel staff but the staff on reception were welcoming and friendly. However, on one of our days the cleaners cleaned our room but didn't empty the bins, which when we mentioned to the reception staff, were simply given bags to put the rubbish in and had to take it down ourselves (not the end of the world, I know, but if you're paying higher end it's not what you expect) Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We had a sea view room and the location is gorgeous. It’s right in a pedestrian square and there are lots of shops and restaurants. There is no onsite parking, you have to park about a block away at a car park. Not far to walk though.
