The hotel is charming on the outside and the There is no way to park in front of the hotel. One must walk at least 300 ft if taking a taxi or driving a car to get the entrance of the hotel. The streets area historic cobblestones making it very difficult to walk with luggage. The hotel itself is very difficult to find and there is no one to assist with luggage. The public spaces remind us of the charm of an old grand hotel. However, when you go to your rooms the hallways and foyers are dirty, beat up and tattered. The hotel has so much potential but really lacks love and attention. The room itself is clean.

Great hotel with a lovely ambiance. Triple room was comfortable with large windows that opened. Bathroom was excellent, stocked with amenities. Lounge areas were lovely. Area surrounding was the old part of town surrounded by the ramparts, making this ideal for exploring. Parking onsite was limited and we parked in the public parking lot a short walk away overnight.

Comfortable bed but the place as a whole is dated. There was peeling wallpaper in my room. In the bathroom I had to hold the shower head with one hand because it was fixked to the wall about knee height. The communal areas are clean but the carpet on the stairs and corridors and old and threadbare some places.

Needs a good housekeeping. Our room smelled stale when we checked in. Opened the windows and aired it out. The bed was worn thin. Deep indentations in the mattress. Carpet was old and dirty. Shower control for bath and shower water direction was broken. Soap dispenser was broken. No toilet paper. Just paper squares

Love everything about the hotel. Its a beautiful old building but still warm and cosy. The food and wine is excellent and staff very friendly. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. Loads of shops and bars on the doorstep. We've stayed a few times now with our dog and have never been disappointed.

Stunning hotel, oozing with charm and original features. Excellent location for exploring St Malo. Underground secure parking only 5 min walk, 18 euros per 24hr. Brasserie was superb, the chateaubriand was perfect, the staff were friendly and patient with our limited French. I would highly recommend room 453, the best in the hotel.

A great couple of days

Excellent location. Beautiful town with numerous shops, bars and restaurants. Hotel is beautifully decorated and is swell preserved piece of history. Breakfast was an issue though…. Served from 7am to 10am, yet when we arrived for breakfast at 8:50 all the hot food was finished. This matter was resolved with a refund but was very disappointing.

The bedroom was comfortable, the bed faced the french windows which opened up to a view of the ramparts and the sea. The bed was very comfortable and there was an ensuite. Hotel located centrally in the heart of one of the main squares, convient for shops, accessing the ranparts and the port. It has a wonderful restaurant attached.
