Golden Tulip Saint Malo– Le Grand Bé

We loved that it was within the walled city of San Malo. The location was great. Lots of action and when he walked outside the hotel there were plenty of nearby restaurants and shops. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is a nice bar and lounge area.

There were two things I didn’t like. There was a strong scent used in the elevator that set off our allergies. It was like a strong, overwhelming men’s cologne. But the biggest thing I didn’t like is the frosted glass doors in the bathroom and shower. I don’t understand the European ways of using glass sliding doors to a toilet. No one wants to watch somebody else going to the bathroom. Also be prepared if you have a car that it’s tight getting around within the walled city and parking can be difficult to find although we found a parking spot both days.

We had a very enjoyable stay. The staff were excellent throughout our visit – friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. As we were travelling with bikes, we really appreciated the secure storage provided, which gave us complete peace of mind and was handled extremely well by the team. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The facilities were exactly as expected, and the overall experience was smooth and hassle-free.

Overall, a really good stay with plenty of positives. The only issue we noticed was that the shower head could do with some attention, as there was visible limescale build-up and signs of corrosion. A couple of points for consideration rather than criticism: there was no soap available in the ground-floor accessible toilet, which made it difficult to wash hands after use. It may also be worth considering adding a streaming service or casting capability to the TVs, allowing guests to access their own content when desired. These are relatively minor observations and did not detract from an otherwise very enjoyable experience.

Excellent location and the room was fine!

Didn’t really enjoy the breakfast buffet but that was a minor thing.
