Ideal location, room nice and clean, receptionist was friendly.
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.
Great hotel. But of pub noise and air con out of order but still fab

Great location
Small hotel located close to the ramparts and easy access to the beaches and promenade.
Also close to old town centre for restaurants and bars.
A little tied, but clean.
Air conditioning not working during our stay but allegedly being upgraded.
Would stay here again .
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.
Central location and helpful staff. Rooms are a little small and no elevators fir a 3rd floor room. Neither bothered is but good to know for people that can’t climb the 3 stories.
It’s a great location within the walls. The rooms are a good size and well eqipped, the staff very friendly (and speak some English), the parking is limited but there is a car park next door and it isn’t too pricey, and there are many great restaurants and shops nearby. The walls surround you.
Nice little hotel tucked away in the corner of the walled city x

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.
