Great location, in the old town right next to bars, cafes, and the beach. Only issue is parking, which is extremely difficult to find, due to a myriad of one way streets, blocked streets, etc

Perfect hotel, close to main gate with close proximity to restaurants, shopping and beaches. We had the room for 4 which was perfect for a family of 4. Plenty of sleeping space and bathroom was quite large. Great restaurant right in lobby which we were easily able to grab food/drink from. Highly recommend!

Perfect location and the hotel is clean, staff nice and parking within walking distance. My only issue is that our room was directly over a nightclub. Actually i wasn't bothered and found it funny but I'm sure there may be those that would be annoyed. Just ask for a room not over the nightclub and you will have a wonderful time in Saint Malo.

For £160, I expected better facilities. My room was extremely hot, and I couldn’t sleep properly. It seems the high price is mainly due to the location, not the quality of the stay.

The property isn’t safe. Every bathroom has a freestanding ceramic pedestal weighing 13.5kg. Our seven year old slipped and fell and the pedestal fell and smashed into sharp fragments. My daughter escaped with bruising and shock. It could have been a mot worse. The hotel shrugged. Apparently it wasn’t a risk as it heladn’t happened before. And she couldn’t have been that injured as we didn’t rush her to A&E. We asked Expedia to intervene and to their credit they did.

This is the 2nd time we’ve chosen to stay in this hotel, this time our bedroom and the bathroom were much bigger and very comfortable. Overlooking the inner courtyard meant it was very quiet. The location couldn’t be better, a minute walk from the sea wall and beach in one direction and shops, restaurants etc in the other. Staff were friendly and very helpful. We had our dog with us and she was made just as welcome. We’ll certainly stay there again but avoid August as, with the French on holiday, St Malo was extremely busy, we’d prefer a quieter time!

This is the perfect spot to stay in Saint Malo. Just inside the walls and very close to parking (no stairs for suitcases). It is also right next to access to the ramparts. Lost of delicious food options near by including the restaurant at the hotel, which is lively and filled with customers. The rooms are a nice size and very clean. Honestly, I was worried with the rating but the hotel is much better than the overall rating suggests. Also, it is not loud at night. At least our room was not.
