High marks because of price, location, and convenience. If you have mobility issues, beware of the narrow steep stairs and no elevator. Helpful front desk, open from 8:00 till 8:00 daily. Excellent location, easy access to the beach and to nice walking along the city wall and through the old city of Saint-Malo. You get what you pay for. This is not a fancy hotel. Basic comfortable room, good bathroom, and decent breakfast across the street. An easy 15 minute walk to the Brittany Ferries terminal.
