We had city view. Reception welcoming. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was held on 1st floor , large room brightly decorated, tablecloths, all beautifully laid out. Large selection of hot and cold breakfast food. Would most definitely stay there again.
The room and hotel were lovely and you can see the changes they are making to improve the facilities. The room was tidy and spacious and the team when above and beyond to help! Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting St Malo
Nice hotel, reception staff very helpful eg in booking restaurants, good breakfasts, room had good sea view as advertised. Only problem was that the in-room safe did not work and as far as we know noone did anything about this when we reported this.
very good hotel excellent location good breakfast no noise

Great location
Small hotel located close to the ramparts and easy access to the beaches and promenade.
Also close to old town centre for restaurants and bars.
A little tied, but clean.
Air conditioning not working during our stay but allegedly being upgraded.
Would stay here again .
We stayed in a sea view studio. We got held up and didn't check in until after dark (and had to leave early in the morning) so sadly didn't see the view, but I could just make out that it was over the top of the fortification wall which is normal for Intra Muros. Check in was at a sister hotel the Chateaubriand as there were not many guests and reception was closed but was only 50m away so not a problem. The studio is very cleverly designed so that there is a thin partitioned bit behind the bed with a breakfast bar and stools (good to work from if needed) and a small kitchen. Very happy and hope to stay there again. What would make it even better would be to add an armchair so that 2 people can sit down (there is room in the niche between the window and kitchen area), bedside tables (with storage) and a corkscrew and teatowel. But would happily stay there for a few days as very convenient.
Stains all over the floor. Didn’t feel clean at all, towels and bedding felt old. We requested a shower room and were given and bath, front of house very kindly let us swap rooms but we paid for a superior room and it felt anything but superior.
Positive is good parking and central location

T.raditional hotel within St Malo city walls. Enormous comfy bed, windows onto the street. Great breakfast buffet. Loads of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance
We loved this hotel intramuros. Easy walking throughout the old city.
Driving through the narrow streets could be a little bit of a challenge, as well as finding a place to park, but this is no fault of the hotel. The breakfast buffet was fabulous.
We LOVED our stay.
Lovely stay in St Malo. Hotel well located but relatively quiet. A couple of issues concerning noise outside late at night - bottles being dumped in the bin (against the law at that hour) and loud chatting by those dumping the bottles. Not the hotel’s fault bur needs to be kept in mind when choosing a room with a sea view.
Central location and helpful staff. Rooms are a little small and no elevators fir a 3rd floor room. Neither bothered is but good to know for people that can’t climb the 3 stories.
