Disappointing Stay

I had a disappointing experience during my stay. I had arranged and paid for an early check-in to move it forward from 15:00 to 12:00 for 40 euros, but when I arrived, I was told it was too late. The reception staff were unhelpful and dismissive, which was frustrating. The issues didn’t stop there. I had also pre-arranged parking, only to find out that it was located at another hotel, and the space reserved for me was too small for my car. I managed to find parking within the city walls, but I was told it might be a tow zone. When I asked reception if they could check, they refused and instead told me to park outside the walls of Saint-Malo at an additional cost of 40 euros—despite the fact that I had already paid for internal parking. To top it off, the reception area had an unpleasant odor, and the room was disappointing, with worn sheets, tired carpeting, and visible marks on the walls. The whole place felt rundown and in need of refurbishment. Not the start to my weekend break that I expected, and overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.

I thought we had a two bedroom – it wasn’t. Two twin beds were pushed together (not a king bed!) and there was a pull-out couch. We ended up having to purchase another room for our adult son. The nicest staff member was the man at check-in — pleasant and friendly. Waitstaff in the restaurant were cold, aloof and it took forever just to be acknowledged once we were seated. The surrounding area was very nice and safe,

Slightly overpriced but nice place.

It's a nice hotel. Maybe a little overpriced. The view couldn't be beat except for my window was at the same level as the rampart walls across the street so all the tourists had a perfect view into my room and bed. The building feels a bit old and could use an update. But still overall a good stay. The WiFi was not the best.

Our hotel stay was great. We stayed 3 nights and our only complaint was parking. We were told Sunday parking was free and we were charged 93.30 Euros for 3 days parking in Q park. We expected to pay for 2 days since we were told Sunday was a free day but this is not correct. It will be helpful to other guest to be clear if you need to park your car safely to call the hotel ahead for arrangements. The description states parking available and perhaps it is but unless you can afford over 30 euro a day don’t get the surprise like we did. Call the hotel to verify your parking needs. Also, the first evening some guy took too much and was naked from the waist down pounding on doors. Woke us at 4 and 5 am which after a long day traveling was unacceptable but the other 2 nights were perfect. The breakfast is 5 star! One of the most beautiful breakfast buffets we have had. They had so many choices for every hungry belly and the presentation was beautiful. And all the staff are very kind and helpful.

Dated property but room was large, view is unbeatable and proximity to old town is perfect. Shower drain and design is the worst I’ve ever seen.l My first shower flooded the bathroom and part of the hallway. The only way to prevent overflow and flooding is to turn off the water while lathering and washing and only use water when rinsing.

The location is central. The view from the room is exceptional. However, the rate is slightly overpriced for the services provided. The housework is very basic (many hairs found in the bed and sofa, very dusty room...). The light switches are broken, and there are numerous impact marks in the walls that have damaged the paint. The bathroom is nice. No mini bar, no bathrobe (although there is a bathtub). You'll pay for the view!
