Wonderfully situated just inside the walls of the old port opposite the castle and square. In the summer months artists and stalls abound in the square and the famous bar is an ideal place to sit, relax and people watch. Concerts are also held opposite the hotel just under the castle walls so soak up the atmosphere from this nice... More

This is a 3 star hotel so don't expect swimming pools, gym's etc. (a visiting masseuse and Yoga are available) but it provides excellent value for money and the location is brilliant, being just inside the old town walls ( well maybe not that old as the Americans destroyed 80% of the town in WWII. Two days is probably sufficient... More

booked after looking at trip adviser reviews as wanted a central hotel in the walled city. Hotel very accommodating with our luggage, storing it at 8.45 in the morning whilst we went out for the day. Checking in later our room was basic but quiet and comfortable. Plenty of space, very clean, cosy bed and powerful shower. Breakfast was very... More

We stayed just one night as part of a ferry company deal. The location is ideal for anyone coming from the ferry port and the hotel is in a lively square with many bars and restaurants to hand. The reception staff were friendly and helpful although they did have an annoying habit of answering the telephone even though we were... More

The hotel's situation in the picturesque and lively Place Chateaubriand and accessibility to the beach gives it an instant appeal. The staff arev very friendly and helpful, even to the extent of answering in English when they are addressed in acceptable French -and this could be seen as patronising - but then St Malo has tides of tourists to equal...

I stayed at this hotel with a group of High School students visiting France. I would give this hotel 4 stars if it weren't for the room key. This hotel still uses real keys instead of access cards. I feel this is a huge security concern. On the plus side the rooms are nicely appointed. My bed was very comfortable.... More

The most comfortable hotel bed I have slept in for a long time. The breakfast was excellent with a good selection, juice, fruit salad, cereal, cheese, ham, eggs,cheese, rolls, croissants, pains au chocolat, good selection of jam and conserves, and if you still have room, slices of cake. Also a good choice of hot drinks. Friendly staff. Very enjoyable stay.... More

All the staff were happy to help and extremely friendly . Felt very at home and welcome. We have no adverse remarks to make about this hotel. Liked everything. Very convienient spot to stay and explore the town. St. Malo is a quaint historical town, and we will be visiting again soon.

We stayed here for one night on our way to Rennes after flying to Dinard. Our room was generously sized, with a comfortable bed and good, if basic, facilities. As we arrived fairly late we had time for only a couple of drinks in the bar which was extremely busy (this was the Friday before Christmas) and mainly populated by... More

This was booked through Brittany Ferries so at 77 euros for a double room it was terrific value for money. L'Univers exudes character in all the public areas & both bars. The glory days for this building are gone, but the staff were very friendly and polite, the WiFi works and everywhere was clean. The only disappointment was my room... More
