Kyriad Prestige Saint-Malo
Chose this hotel as it was near St Malo ferry port and we were travelling early the next day. Easy early check in and the leisure facilities were excellent. Really big pool, steam room and sauna. Quiet clean room and secure parking was great. Staff were very helpful. Not too busy when we visited ...

Golden Tulip Saint Malo - Le Grand Bé
Modern, clean and comfortable hotel in prime location within the old city walls. Staff members are competent and cordial. Negatives include a curbless shower that results in an almost entirely wet bathroom floor when used, a subpar buffet breakfast and difficult to maneuver parking garage.
