I wanted to see the third stage of the 2008 Tour de France up close, and planned a short trip to St. Malo to view it. I wanted a hotel in the old town, somewhere walking distance from the start of the Tour and reasonably priced.
This hotel was one of the hotels suggested by an online hotel site and it fit my criteria so I booked it.
It's located on a small square across from the fishmarket, in a large stone building. There is a bar area, breakfast room and a lift to the upper floors.
My room was huge, with a large desk, wardrobe and king sized bed. The bathroom was small but fine as long as you only wanting a shower (I dislike baths so I was happy with it). The staff were friendly and helpful, though the maids don't speak English. I forgot my code to get in after hours, though the owner happily came by to let me in (doh!).
Because the town doesn't get much traffic (they charge a fee to drive into the old town), I had a very quiet and restful sleep. The breakfast was great, with fresh pastries, hot options and tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
The next time I visit St. Malo, I plan on booking my hotel with this one, since it lived up to my expectations and more! read more
