Top 10 Equateur Hotels

Fantastic site for a hotel overlooking the Rance estuary with views across to St Malo. It is a little tricky on arrival. The entrance being through an arch and guarded by a remotely controlled bollard and then a very narrow descent to the parking. The welcome was good with the voituriers awaiting us and the car was parked for us. Reception was friendly and welcoming. The room had a wonderful view and was comfortable if simple. Dinner in the main restaurant was slightly unnerving in that the waiters were moving around at breakneck speed, dashing up and down the stairs and generally being hyperdynamic. The food was fine but probably not of Michelin rosette standard. The meal was spoiled however by the tension. If we wanted Fast Food we could have gone to McDos. It has all the potential but ”Calm down dear!”

Globalement le séjour s'est bien passé. Nous avions pris une chambre luxe avec vue sur mer et effectivement la vue est magnifique dommage que la route du littorale passe juste en dessous. Fort heureusement en février il n'y a pas beaucoup de passage et le soleil était de la partie. L’accueil est cordial mais j'ai trouvé la réceptionniste un peu négligée en terme de tenue pour un hôtel 5 étoiles .Elle nous a accompagné à notre chambre et présenté les lieux. rien à dire la dessus.Ensuite la chambre est très bien décorée et spacieuse, la régulation de température s'effectue par un thermostat électronique qu'avait omis de nous indiquer la réceptionniste.Les toilettes ne sont pas pourvus de lave mains donc il vous faut traverser la chambre pour aller se laver les mains dans la salle de bain.L’hôtel fait visiblement des économies sur les chaines télévisuelles puisqu'il n'y aucun abonnement satellite ou autres seulement la tnt. De plus la télécommande ne fonctionne pas très bien obligé de revenir chaque fois au menu pour changer de chaine. Ensuite la salle de bain est propre seulement il y fait froid et la porte de douche ne se refermait pas sans forcer car le joint était détérioré..je n'ai pas compris pourquoi certains chaussons étaient sous plastique et l'autre paire avec un emballage carton alors que l'établissement est dans une démarche de transition écologique... Nous avons été importuné à la porte de la chambre par une employé qui m'a présenté deux mini gâteaux ridicules et la marche à suivre pour le petit déjeuner à croire que nous sommes stupides pour ne pas comprendre les indications de la première réceptionniste, je n'ai pas compris la démarche et je n'ai pas apprécié d'être déranger sans raison valable. Par la suite on nous apporter une bouteille de champagne offert par la direction peut-être y a t il un lien ?? Enfin le petit déjeuner dans ambiance cosy du restaurant était par contre parfait à part les plats chauds mal placé mais le personnel est au petit soin et très discret . Donc ne vous attendez pas à un palace parisien de 5 étoiles , cela reste un lieu au charme incomparable avec quelques imperfections que j'ai signalé à la réception par ailleurs .

Trip organised around the Thallasotherapie. Exceeded our expectations. Treatments were amazing, food excellent, location is remarkable, and staff is very attentive without being obtrusive. The arrival could have been slightly better handled by providing an orientation. Other slight criticism was the female pedicure - had to return for more nail varnish, and despite this there was still some of it coming off. Highly recommend!

This is an excellent hotel with great views over looking the promenade and sea. The hotel is clean and tidy but the Wifi connection could be better. The staff are friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We carefully killed the time until 3:00 check-in but our room was still not ready until almost 3:30. Our sea view was nice. The room was well- designed but tiny. Bathroom was also very well-designed and appointed. We’re naive Americans and had never seen the thing where you have to insert your hotel key to get any electricity in the room, had to figure that out on our own. We speak a bit of French, the hotel clerk insisted on English, but he did not understand that I wanted food but my husband didn’t, so we were served expensive food we did not want. And the bed “linens” felt like some kind of disposable plasticish weave. Not terrible, not great.

Service is OK, breakfast is good.

We have stayed in The Nouveau Monde every year since it opened and have always had a wonderful stay. The staff are excellent and cannot do enough for you. The breakfasts offer a very good choice and meals in the restaurant in the evening are excellent. The only comment we would make is that perhaps the towels in the bathroom are rather thin and need replacing. Also larger shower towels would be nice.

In general I would say this is a very nice hotel of the mid-size, boutique variety. The property appears to be split into two parts, connected via the reception corridor. We had a top floor room in the part away from the main section with the bar. The room was well-furnished, and the bathroom very pleasant with decent equipment and a bath and shower. It could have been bigger but had plenty of cupboard space. The breakfast was good; nice, tasty coffee, plenty of cold choices and bacon and eggs as well. The bar is really attractive and great to sit out on a hot day and in the evening on our visit. The hotel is a block from the beach which is stunning. Miles of sand and views of St Malo down a long wide promenade. Do beware that the tide comes in at an unusual pace. In an hour or so the great wide beach was totally submerged up to the promenade. No coincidence Mont St Michel is just nearby. It is quite a long walk into the walled city from here, but it is totally worth it and the old town has everything from smart shops and deluxe restaurants, to Pizza kitchens, seafood specialists and some nice pubs. Buses run all the time to the walls up the main road past the hotel and we bought cheap tickets from a machine, so easy if you don't want to drive or walk back. But there is a vast car park at the old town if you do. One issue. We went in September and it was unusually hot (35C). Our room got quite hot as there is no air conditioning and the sun shone in during the day. However, it is such a quiet location we had our window open all night and slept fine. The other consideration is parking. You need to call them and book in advance to park on the premises. On the other hand, we were there 3 days and got parked outside every time without fail for free. It was a really lovely stay and the reception and staff were welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable and spoke very good English.
