Belem Hôtel  

We liked the location, in a quiet courtyard off country lane albeit a car is necessary to visit St Malo. We were driving so not a problem for us to get out and about. Glad of a small balcony, better that none at all. Room very good size.

Other comments are correct in stating that there is no hospitality tray. The reason may be because the hotel has a bar so they may wish to sell tea and coffee via this facility. However in our case we only did this once when arriving back from a day out and found two cups of tea very expensive at 3 euro a cup. At 7 euro a time it would prove expensive on an already basic hotel which charges too much for a room without this facility. Therefore on principle we did not use the bar so it was non cost effective for the hotel anyway. We also agree with the comments about the plastic undersheet. it was a double bed and we are adults. All the other hotels we stopped at on our journey through France used ordinary mattess protectors. The plastic sheet served to make the sheet slip around and bunch up which made it very uncomfortable. Also the day later after the maid had been in to make the beds we found the bottom sheet was all crumpled and had not been straightened, she had simply put the covers back on the top. The power shower would have been good if it did not overflow the shower tray and onto the floor, the jets could also have done with a good clean. As per the other reviews there was no English tv. This would have been good for us as after a long day we wished to relax in the evenings. The room decor was bright which was important as it was a quite dark room but bright yellow / orange a bit too much. The buffet breakfast was slightly better than we had at the previous 3 French hotels but still overpriced at 8.50 euro a head. We had previously paid around 4.50 so I don't think for the addition of cold boiled eggs worthy of the difference. We decided not to pay for this on the 2nd morning, instead had breakfast on the ferry to Portsmouth where we had a full cooked breakfast with 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, beans and hash browns for only 5 euro.

Friendliness to people travelling with their dogs

The inability to use the English channels on the tv

Comfort of the room and freindliness of the staff

Location; No restaurants nearby and not very attractive location

Excelent service. The personal are very nice. Thanks for the hospitality.

Very large family room and bathroom. Brightly decorated (but very orange!). Clean.

Considering this is not a city centre hotel I thought it was very expensive.

hotel had a pleasent look was very welcoming and very well situated for the ferry and tourist attractions

no air conditioning in the rooms

The owners and the staff are very nice and helpful. The staff were very helpful at giving advise about the area . I did not have a car during my visit to St Malo. The area near the hotel has a good bus network. There is a bus no 4 near Belem Hotel to sncf train station. Sncf has a bus terminal. The train journey to Rennes costs about 15 euros each way. The beach is a walking distance from sncf. I found the availability of a bus in the area a plus. There is a big shopping centre near the hotel. The area is quiet and nice. My little girl enjoyed the walks. Olivia

Ease of access to the ferry port. Large family rooms. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We don't speak French.

spacious rooms. good breakfast. Convenient for ferry passengers

Better lighting in bedroom for reading. No air conditioning and could not leave windows open as on ground floor.

Nothing about the hotel except that it was not too far from the ferry port!

No tea/coffee making facility. Poor quality and not too clean (ie carpet very dirty and stained). Supposed to have satelite TV but only received French speaking stations. Have stayed several times before but quality definately seems to have gone downhill. Will not stay there again.
