Hôtel Mercure Saint-Malo Front de Mer 4 estrelas

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!

After staying at the 4* Mercure in Dinan which definitely deserved its rating, this was most definitely not a 4 star hotel. Great location right on the seafront but a nightmare to find parking - even if you have a Blue Badge. Room was much smaller than expected as was the bed. It was well appointed but fell well short of the wonderful hotel in Dinan. The balcony was an added bonus but difficult to reach as no space between balcony door and bed. Quiet room and we had a good night's sleep but we both felt that it was overpriced. Luckily we booked breakfast in advance so did not have to pay 15Euro each. Apart from parking, the drink prices were extortionate and when ordering a spirit and a mixer we were charged for a whole bottle of coke, hence 2 drinks. When we queried anything, we received a defensive reply from the staff (both when we ordered and when we queried the bill). I will be writing separately to Accor regarding our stay as it did not meet our expectations. Great location to explore the wonderful town of Saint Malo.

Excellent location with plenty of local (free) parking. Good service throughout and good value for money. The room appeared to have been recently decorated with free -and accessible - wifi. Would recommend and would return.

I enjoyed a very comfortable stay. Room very clean and comfortable. Excellent choice and quality of food at breakfast. All staff made me feel very welcome especially Isabelle on reception. This is definitely my first choice hotel in St. Malo

Made even better by being the swarmest day of the year, so far. As usual, the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Parking near to th hotel is very difficult, so drop off you baggage if travelling by car, find a place to park and enjoy the walk to the hotel. It's situation, near to the historic walled town is perfect fot exploring the many historic locations and restaurants.

The hotel is in a great place overlooking the beach and just a few minutes stroll to the old walled city. The staff were perhaps the most helpful we have encountered in along while. They helped me with a email I desperately needed to deal with and even offered to serve breakfast a half hour early do that we didn't need to dash to catch our rather early boat. Breakfast by the way was a really good selection.
