- "Everything about our stay was perfect from the location to the breakfast. Our room was ideal for a family of four and our host made us feel very welcome. We really appreciated the recommendations of what to see and do while we were in the area, as this helped us make the most of our time in Saint Malo. We are heading home feeling well looked after and looking forward to replicating some of the delicious cakes we enjoyed at breakfast. Thank you for the recipe share."

- "Location, customer service, standing of the hotel" - "We loved this hotel so much the first time around, we rebooked for a second time, when we passed through St Malo again. It's stylish without being stuffy, charming, welcoming, close to the beach, with lovely staff. This time, we also chose to have breakfast which was simple but tasty and fresh." - "What a gem of a hotel just one street from the beach in a quiet residential area with easy free parking in the street.The hotel exceeded our expectations with caring friendly and helpful staff. Room was spacious and well appointed with a super king bed. We travelled with our dog who was welcomed with a her own bed, bowl and treats. As we had the dog they arranged breakfast for us in the bar lounge area as they only have a breakfast room. The hotel is only a short drive from the port and the walled town of St Malo. We stayed for two nights but would have happily stayed longer."
