Top 10 hotels in Saint-Malo within walking distance of the beach

It's hard not to mention the Grand Hôtel des Thermes when talking about the best hotels in Saint-Malo. The Thermes Marins are a must and contribute to Saint-Malo's reputation thanks to their history and the quality of the treatments on offer.

The treatments are not the only high-quality services on offer, as Cap Horn, the on-site restaurant, serves gourmet cuisine while offering a view of the sea.

In addition to the thermal baths, the hotel has a gym and an Aquatonic swimming pool. The entire hotel has been carefully decorated to combine old-world charm with modernity.

In contrast to the first hotel, this establishment offers low-cost accommodation while also being extremely close to the sea. The beach is just 100 metres away.

The rooms are equipped with a fridge and microwave, which is a real bonus for a budget holiday without the hassle.

The accommodation offers a simple but quality service with very comfortable bedding and a very warm welcome. As well as being close to the beach, the location is good within the city centre: next to an excellent beer bar and within walking distance of other places of interest.

Also located in the heart of Saint-Malo intra-muros, the Hotel des Marins offers rooms of a class above. It is a 2-minute walk from the port and 200 m from the beach.

Its location is ideal, close to the local shops and also to a car park where guests benefit from special rates. Continental breakfast is served every morning.

Guests praise the cleanliness of the rooms, the warm welcome and friendliness of the staff, and the tasteful decor: sober and uncluttered.

Also close to the sea, Logis Maison Vauban is ideally located, just 200 m from the beach and 450 m from the marina.

What's more, you can do everything in the area on foot, from sightseeing to shopping. Saint-Vincent cathedral is just a short walk away.

A buffet breakfast can be enjoyed every morning, either in the rooms or in the dedicated breakfast room. The decor is equally impressive, with different colours and styles for each room.

Once again, Hotel La Villefromoy is just a short stroll from the beach, but not only that, as it is not far from the historic sites of the walled town. The airport and ferry terminal are 15 and 5 minutes away respectively.

The place has a real charm about it, with all the modern touches you could wish for, but it has kept its soul with a chic, timeless decor.

There is a wide choice of both English and continental breakfasts. For the rest of the day, you can take advantage of the lounge bar. In fine weather, you can even enjoy a drink on the terrace or in the garden and admire the sea view.

This former 19th-century manor house is located in the residential area of Saint-Servan, at the mouth of the River Rance and just 400 m from the beach.

The Hôtel Ascott stands out for its traditional architecture without skimping on modern facilities. The hotel's charm comes as much from its setting as from its friendly, smiling staff.

Breakfast is described by guests as copious and of high quality. The fruit is organic and the juice is squeezed on request. It's enough to make you feel like a prince.

Just 700 m from the nearest beach, the Louisa flat makes up for this distance by giving its residents the independence they need. The kitchen is fully equipped, so you can cook just like at home.

However, as at the hotel, the spacious bathroom comes with complimentary toiletries. Towels and bed linen are also provided.

All of which means you can spend your holidays in a very quiet, extremely well looked after area, while saving on a few costs such as food.

The furthest from the beach in our selection, 2.3 km from Le Havre beach and 2.6 km from Minihic beach, La Gentilhommière de la Grande Toutenais makes up for this with its exceptional setting and affordable price.

The calm of the location is an incredible luxury. Some rooms are equipped with sports equipment and a sauna. It's the ideal way to end a day on the beach.

The staff are described as superbly welcoming and attentive. Perfect for asking for some advice on the area to guide your visits.

The Escale Oceania Saint-Malo is located on the city's seafront, opposite the Sillon beach. Further down the road, some of the rooms have superb views directly out to sea.

Breakfast is described as copious and varied. And, weather permitting, you can enjoy it on the terrace with your feet in the fresh grass.

Simple, effective decor to suit all tastes, quality Rituals toiletries, a sea view and attentive staff - that's all you need for a pleasant stay at Escale Oceania.

Le Manoir Du Cunningham, also on the seafront, dates back to the 17th century. Its location also means that you can visit the old town in just 10 minutes on foot.

Each room has a private terrace where you can enjoy the sun and the magnificent sea views. What's more, these rooms are spacious and have excellent quality bedding.

The manor house offers services commensurate with its standing, and the highly qualified staff are always available and ready to listen. The service is well priced.
