Hotel De L'univers  

Lovely old fashoned French city hotel with loads of character. We did book fairly close to our time of use so ended up in rather a small double overlooking the central yard for the services but with the curtains closed that was fine. Plus as with old fashioned French hotels the central heating does not work so had to wear a jersey in the room. No double glazing but the orignial windows. Shower nice and warm. In the event of a fire we would have been incinerated. Husband does forensic work on fires so rather hot on that.

Central location

Dirty carpet

The location was brilliant for shopping, exploring and night life.

The hotel is very tired and needs a lot of tlc hence why it only has 2 stars. Also the lift was far to tiny to use - it would be very claustrophobic, but on the other hand there are an awful lot of stairs to the top floor.

Close to the ferry port and within the city walls,very historic location.

Very comfortable.

My husband and I have stayed here several times in the last 5/6 years. Would only suggest that stair carpets would benefit from being replaced and decor updated. Perhaps a nice touch would be to provide fragrant soaps and shower gels in the bathroom.

The location was great, the room had lots of space.

It was rather smokey even though we had a non smoking room.

Within the Walls, excellent location wise, free wii fii but you have to keep requesting new codes as they have a time limit. Some friendly staff, but very hit and miss!!! Rooms were big and bathroom was great size, beds were fantastic size and comfortable.

Toilets weren't very pleasant (in bar area) lift for luggage was far too small (suitcase & 1 person if ur lucky!!!) so suitcases went in and ran up the stairs to catch it!! Carpets very dirty and in need of an update, no tea/coffee facilities in the room unfortunately. Tv in room only has French available even though they say they have English channels. Floor smelt of smoke although no smoking signs everywhere, breakfast wasnt sampled as didn't appear value for money nor appetising.

We only stayed one night, following a stay in mid France, before our Ferry crossing to England. Very helpful and polite staff. Spoke good English, which helped us to know how and where to park the car, how to get to the Ferry Port etc. The room was comfortable and quiet, giving us a good night sleep. We will come again to spend more time in the city.

The location was good

Hotel said they had English channels which they didn'T. Also wifi only works on laptops and iPhones, not any other mobile phone devices.

Fab location, staff very helpful, especially blonde lady on reception think her name was Nina. Room nice and clean.

Not realy a complaint but carepts need updating and would love Tea & coffee in room

I felt the hotel was well located, easy to find for a train traveller. The area was safe & secure for a single person. Reception staff were in the main very helpful, (one was not) dining room and cleaning staff always pleasant. Breakfast was generous. Would have liked a dining option for evening meal.

It has a great location in St. Malo.

I have stayed there on several occasions before but it is now looking very tired and most of the communal areas smell of stale cigarette smoke which I does not make it fresh and welcoming. The staff seemed very diffident.

Excellent location, with views of city ramparts & dining square. Supermarket (Carrefour) is hidden down some stairs on the street behind the hotel (Rue Sainte Barb) - difficult to find, however it's perfect for cheaper snacks & food souvenirs!
