Mercure St Malo Front de Mer Hotel 4 stars

Excellent location for Saint Malo visitors... and this is unfortunately all pros that I can tell about this hotel. One more- clean as most of Mercure's. Tiny rooms, below average breakfast, service so-so. Nothing more to add.

Awful experience of representation the lower quarter of Accor hotels brand. No English knowlegde, no parking while was promised on website, 2 soaps were add with no showercap, etc. Room was very small and shabby. The bed was extremely short.

Nice small property right by the seashore and a short walk to the tourist center (intramuros). Well-worth splurging for an ocean-view room. Excellent breakfast selection. Nice bright clean room with comfortable bedding as expected with the Accor properties. The staff was very friendly and helpful and accommodated our request to extend our stay by an extra evening staying in the same room. Only negative was water bottle not provided beyond the first night. Highly recommended

Poor Location a long walk from centre of st malo no restaurant so if you want a meal be pepaired to walk there is only street parking this is cheap if you can get a space so you dont want to move car to drive to city centre

Spent a wonderful week here. The position of the hotel on the waterfront gives one an ever changing view of La Manche and its changing moods. Room was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The only possible criticism would be that walls were not very soundproof

We stayed at Mercure St Malo out of season - December - and we found both the hotel and town delightful. It might be a different story in high season. The hotel is well equipped and the staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms were large and comfortable and the breakfast buffet was of a very high standard. We found it easy to park (payant) on the street (but it was December) and be aware that parking fines were being issued at 9:10 am on a Saturday morning (so buy your ticket before you go to bed)

The hotel is well situated on the sea front, about 500 yards from the entrance to the old town. Weekend parking is easy down in the street, free, and only 3€60 a day during the week. An average size room, with a view of the sea to the left. It is described as "partial", but the sea is quite visible. The location of the hotel is quiet, since it is in a residential area, and there was little noise from inside, despite the hotel being full. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom functional. Breakfast was good value; both warm food, the usual sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs; also continental-style croissants, bread, pastries and so on. Wholly self-service but with a couple of waitresses on hand to bring hot water etc. Overall a decent place to stay in St Malo, which, by the way, can be seen in just a day. Some may find the grey granite buildings a bit austere, and the atmosphere within the walls a little claustrophobic. There are loads of decent restaurants where one can eat well. The hotel offers reasonable value for money, if you have the Accor member's card, which gives a reduction of 10%, for free.

A convenient place to stay overnight if en route somewhere. I always stay here. It's clean, comfortable and well located. Shame that public parking is now all payant, but it's free overnight from 7am until 9am.

Exactly what we wanted. On the seafront, comfortable room with a sea view, bath, close to the walled town, helpful staff, good recommendations for restaurants (one of which we went to). We would certainly stay there again.

It was a fantastic weekend in St-Malo. Hotel has an excellent localisation. Friendly staff and well equiped rooms makes this hotel very good for short business trips & longer family stays. I will be back next yera :-)

The reception staff were very helpful and friendly. Helped me to sort out another booking. They deserve special mention. The room was fine, save the aircon did not seem to work as well as it might have. Location of the hotel very convenient for the old town and walked easily to the restaurant area

The room was adequate and included a place for two people to so comfortably. The staff was helpful but parking was on the street.The city inside the walls is a must see with old granite walls, Breton style architecture and narrow streets.

We stayed at the Mercure Saint Malo Front de Mer on the last night of a three week trip in Italy and France as part of selling our Italian house. We also stayed at the Mercure Reims, the IBIS Cannes, and the Novotel La Rochelle. The Mercure St Malo was by some measure the worst experience. It boasts parking on site but in fact we had to park in the IBIS parking some 200 metres away from the hotel at a cost of €15 per night. I was also asked to pay for my wife's welcome drink (free for me as a Club Accor silver member). None of the other Accor group hotels asked for such payment. I did not argue about this except to point out to the reception staff at check out that non of the other group hotels imposed this charge. The reception staff would not accept my argument and insisted upon payment in front of other guests. If you plan to stay outside of the main holiday season I would suggest that you look to park on the street as there is no charge. The IBIS parking although saying it is secure was easy to access via the hotel foyer and no one challenged me when I went to pick the car up in the morning.

The hotel is on the seafront close to the historic town. My superior room had an excellent view of the island Fort National and was sunny and bright. Sunset view was striking. Bathroom was shiny clean. Most UK TV channels. Staff speak good English, were friendly and very helpful on a range of questions. Breakfast was up to standard including bacon sausage and scrambled egg. Public computer was not working. .

Friendly welcome and space (paying) found for our car as road was very busy. Breakfast good. Didn't eat in restaurant as menu did not excite in an area known for seafood etc. A mistake as we got soaked walking to nearby restaurant . Convenient for old town and its restaurants -if it doesn't rain!
