Lovely hotel inside the walled city.

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.

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

We did not realize this hotel is inside the wall of St Malo old village. Parking is hard to find, driving is at your own risk, and the hotel is next to a bar that was noisy until closing well after midnight. No AC so the window was open to the noise. We finally closed the window and that shut out the noise. We did like the hotel and would stay again.

The property is poorly maintained — stained carpets, exposed masonry, and a broken toilet flush. The air conditioning didn’t work, the room smelled of humidity, and there were flies. The garage was full, and we had to park outside without being warned about the high cost of city parking. For the price, this stay was disappointing and lacked basic upkeep and communication.

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.
