Rooms overlooking street are very noisy

The hotel is conveniently located but I specifically chose it because I thought it would be in a quiet street, however this was not the case and street noise - in particular hand trolleys being pulled down the road all night - meant I had two disturbed night's sleep. The thermostat in the room was not linked to the radiator which had its own independent thermostat. However there was no notification of this, hence the first night I opened the window wider and wider while turning the wall thermostat lower and lower, to no avail, as the radiator was stuck on 19 centigrade so keep getting hotter and hotter to compensate. I was unaware of what was happening until the next morning. Quite apart from being uncomfortable it was a real waste of energy, and an extra cost to the hotel. I'm surprised they don't put up signs notifying people to control the radiator at source rather than via the thermostat.

Boring tourist hotel but otherwise clean and in a good location in the old town. Parking impossible so check whether a space is guaranteed BEFORE booking. We had to park a mile away and get the bus in.

Great place, with some noise.

Great place to stay to visit the old town of St Malo. The main inconvenient is that there is a glass recycling container located nearby and people in the neighborhood come to dump their bottles day and night, making noise.

Short break

We were upgraded to a larger room as I am currently in a wheelchair. It was large airy and very comfortable with modern furnishings. The hotel was ideally placed for exploring. We managed to park right outside (although parking is very very expensive). We really enjoyed our time here

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.
