Logis Hôtel la Grassinais Saint-Malo

A great stopover en route to the Saint Malo - Portsmouth ferry, being just off the main road and having a straightforward, free car park. Yes it’s in the middle of a retail park (which was deserted at the weekend). But the excellent buses (routes 1 and 2) can be picked up very nearby so it’s easy to get into town. Download the transit app and pay the driver on the bus (cash or card). We really valued the clean, pleasant room, in-room kettle and the extraordinarily fab self-service breakfast. If I had one wish it would be for aircon, as the rooms are rather stuffy in July, but I didn’t really expect it in this kind of hotel and fans are provided in the rooms. A very friendly welcome and a good, unpretentious hotel.

This is a very great located hotel with very friendly staff especially owner himself Christopher who makes you feel home every second. Here you may find free water, tea, coffee & boiler service at you room. Very calm hotel to take a long and deep sleep I may suggest. This hotel is famous for pilot’s resistance of their simulator’s training.

My wife is in a quandry. On the one hand, she was so impressed with la Grassinais that she is insisting that I write this review. On the other, she does not want the hotel to become so popular that we can't get in! But fairness has won the day. This quiet, clean, comfortable, great value, new-style Logis is now our go-to hotel in St Malo. As Channel Islanders and Francophiles, we find ourselves often needing an overnight stop at short notice. No problem here. Plus free, off street parking. The breakfast was stunning and the welcome was, quite simply, the warmest we have ever had from a Frenchman in 50 years of travelling in France. It's a 10!
