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.

The hotel room was great for the price and the lady on reception was very friendly. However the only downside is the walls are paper thin and you hear everything - I had to lie and listen to a couple making out in the room next door. I was in room 215 so maybe ask for another room as this was the only downside

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!

Smoke goes right in the front door with all the smokers in the restaurant out front. Could smell smoke linger in the halls and stairs. Uncomfortable beds made for a bad stay for me. Great location though.

Avoid if you want to sleep.

What a terrible experience. At first we were in awe of the location and thought we had struck gold with this hotel. When we got into our room the nightmare began. No aircon, no fans, no fridge, no coffee facilities etc etc. a complete empty basic room. There are more facilities in a Travelodge or Etab. At night time it got even worse. Our room was directly above the outside bar / entertainment area which is fine. I have no problem people having fun and enjoying the entertainment. But this racket went on to 3am both nights. We had to close the windows which made the room unbearably hot. It was a lose lose situation. My family (wife and kids age 14 and 10) did not sleep for 2 nights. This hotel believes its prime location allows it to treat its guests with contempt. There are plenty of other hotels with great locations in St Malo. In fact it would be hard to find one not in a great location. Avoid this hotel!!! I mean how hard would it be to put a couple of fans in a hot, humid room???

Central, friendly but basic and issues with smell

Positives - central location, friendly check-in service. Negatives - we had issue with neighbors smoking the whole night which with a draft coming through our door, filled our room with smoke smell. Keeping our window open the whole night did not really help. So overall we had quite a bad nights sleep which impacts the whole experience. Reception was quick to try help but the smell was still there unfortunately. Bathroom also smelled a bit (drain smell) so we kept the door closed. Basic and small room with no amenities like kettle, coffee or fridge. But otherwise it was ok, relatively modern and very central location (no parking though)

Room 107 spacious for a family of 4. Clean room and bathroom. 2 of the 3 beds were comfortable with mattress toppers but the main bed didn’t have mattress toppers like the other ones had, so was not comfortable. Too many smokers right outside hotel at their restaurant, and smoke went right into the lobby as the doors opened. I could smell smoke in the lobby, hallway, and stairs. You had to walk through the smoke in front of the front door to enter into the front door. Not healthy for air quality given the tobacco use out front. No mini fridge to keep leftover perishable food (or baby food if needed), no electric kettle, and no coffee maker in rooms which is pretty standard now. No water purification refilling station in lobby to cut down plastic water bottles for the environment. I think the hotel could improve by making 4 changes if they wished to improve it for customers. 1. Make a big non-smoking area in the front of the hotel restaurant, and put a limited smoking section far off to the side (nowhere close to where guests have to walk by to get into the hotel). Or better, would be to not allow any smoking at the restaurant outside. 2. add mini fridges, electric kettles, and coffee makers to the rooms. 3. Add water purification bottle refilling station downstairs in lobby. 4. Add free coffee and tea in lobby.
