Premiere Classe Saint Malo St Jouan des Guerets

The hotel is located around 6 km from St Malo old town, so can be used a day trip base. Each room can take up to 3 persons. It’s clean enough and at the low end of the hotel range. It’s good value, as St Malo in summer is rather expensive.

We stayed with friends and all our children and felt it was a lot further away from the St Malo than expected. You can not drop your bags off any earlier, so you can free yourself up and explore St Malo. Yes, I did google it but in reality it was quite far without transport. So bus it was, which actually was fine. No 1 bus takes you to within an easy walk. So that was good however, the buses stop early, and don't run early on a Sunday. So did have to spend quite a lot of time organising that when we arrived. Tourist information in St Malo was fantastic, they gave us all the information we needed. Traveling with friends and 4 children was a little stressful getting there. By chance we caught the last bus on the Saturday night back to the hotel, which was before 930, which again was fine once we had done it a few times. The stay in the hotel was very basic in the room, Room 2 has the smoking bin attached to the wall right outside, so those that smoked congregated outside chatting, and the smoke smell wafted into the room, not pleasant when you are not a smoker. The shower facilities are tired and small, Room 10 leaked so had to pack the door with towels as it poured out under the door into the room. Never occupied a hotel of this style before, and yes we didn't expect much for the money, however its not for us, having the entry door outside, I didn't feel safe, you can hear everything and yes we know it was very cheap. 2 of the reception staff didn't speak much English which again is expected so had to get google translate out, and when asked for help with Taxis said they couldn't do it and point blankly refused to order us a taxi for our early start on the Sunday morning. So we ended up back at the Tourist information for help with that one. Which they did without question. The gent on the Sunday morning was very good, spoke very good English and was happy to help us if the taxis didn't turn up. So all in all, an experience, very basic, which is what we expected, but rooms are tired, dated. Wouldn't visit one of these style hotels again.

Malheureusement, j ai respirer par la grille de ventilation qui se situe à 15 cm du lit, une nuit l odeur d un joint fumé par qlqu un d autre dans l hôtel !! L odeur était très prononcée, vers 2h00 du matin et jusqu à 3h30, vers 3h30 odeur de joint froid dans ma chambre, donc nous respirons l air des autres chambres par la grille de ventilation. J ai expliqué avant mon départ au gérant de l hôtel Première Classe, qui s est excusé pour la gêne. Je ne retournerai plus dans cet hôtel.

Très bien placé hôtel très propre rien à redire

Bon emplacement

I spent two nights in two different rooms at different times. First time I asked for a ground floor and was told fine but was given a room upstairs, the toilet smelt badly of stale urine. Second night was on the ground floor and bathroom was clean, however somebody came in to my room whilst I was taking a shower, when she realised somebody was in the room she left, no apology, and afterwards felt a little uneasy. Friendly people and reasonable for the price. I would stay again .

This is a budget hotel so rooms smallish and unglamourous. En suite bathroom was fine and shower better than many provided in more expensive hotels. Beware bumping your head on the bunk above the double bed. Room had all the necessary if you just want a cheap overnightroom on your way from/to the St Malo ferry. Only one overworked member of staff, very pleasant. We passed up breakfast, looked fine but serving area so small that only one person could be self serving at a time. And we had an early ferry to catch. Best things - you could get a tea or coffee for one euro, and plenty of places round about to eat at, hotel is situated in the middle of a massive retail park :)

The staff were really friendly and attentive. I’m general, good price for money
