Having read many reviews on this hotel prior to my arrival which generally speaking suggest the hotel looks tired, but otherwise okay, my expectations were fairly low. Firstly, it has to be said that you really can’t get ANY more central a location within the city ramparts, the location is superb - a 5 minute walk to the marina, two minute walk to the beach - if location is high on your priorities then it’s worth paying the premium alone just for this, in my opinion (this hotel is not cheap.) I booked two Superior Sea-view rooms which had a spectacular view of ‘La Manche’ and the St Malo bay. One room was ‘newer’ than the other. My own room I would say has not been renovated since the 80s and frankly it shows, the decor was garish but otherwise very comfortable and most importantly, clean. The other room was decorated to more modern standards but can attest to other people’s reviews in saying the carpets were worn and the furniture chipped and tired. The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming. My experience when speaking to French people is they seem to highly value your speaking in their native language, if only for a few sentences. It’s almost a courtesy which after they have witnessed you struggling for thirty seconds or so are more than happy to speak to you in English - it just seems to be the way, give it a try and embrace it. The bar staff were friendly, albeit not overly attentive (it was Bastille weekend to be fair so could have been busier than usual) , however the food in the restaurant was excellent. I have seen reviews of people bemoaning the breakfast - for me it was fine, nothing spectacular but is in line with any other Continental breakfast offering I’ve had at any other hotel, but for someone who is used to just eating cereal back at home, anything extra was a bonus. All in all, I would recommend this hotel if only for the location - it is pricey but location, location, location is key, and the hotel appear to know that, although my experience generally was very positive and I would stay again if in St Malo.
