Hotel Oceania Saint Malo

Quick one note stay. Clean, tidy, good location

A great hotel for a short break in Saint Malo

Great hotel, perfect location and great views

Good overall - best location to walk easily into Intra Muros. Room was lovely, we had an executive partial sea view. The sea view was much better than I expected. Downside was that the room behind us looked right over our (small) balcony and into our room depending on where they were standing. It was a squeeze to get two people on the balcony but it was lovely to have the option to go outside. The two main things in the room that could have been better was that there were cheap paper cups to drink the coffee from and no glasses to use. Also the fridge was less than useless - a strange slim fridge that could only hold two small bottles of water and did not even keep those cool. We stayed 3 nights and the storage was adequate but we would have struggled for a week as storage very limited. Most of this I could have got over but the main downside for me was the garage. Parking is tight in St Malo in the summer, also we had planned on doing some small furniture shopping so we didn't want to leave the car in a public car park. It costs 22 Eur a night which is bearable for 3 nights but... Firstly you cannot book in advance so you arrive not knowing if you will be able to use the garage. Secondly, it is the tightest garage I have ever been in, with small spaces for the size of the cars and a really odd lay out which made it really difficult to get in any of the spaces. As we were doing our 30 point turn each day it was quite funny to watch new guests arrive and hear their curses

Great staff... great location... great views... just perfect place to unwind after lonnng trip

The hotel is renovated everything is new. The location is very good outside the old city on the Cornich along the bay. They have an inside pool hamam and Jacuzi open untill midnight. The Ocean view is relaxing.

Luxurious hotel with good service and breakfast. Rooms are a bit style over practicality. For example a lovely big room with seating area but TV could only be seé from the bed

Fantastic views and great location

Lovely hotels recently renovated. Have been twice this year and really enjoyed the experience. Rooms are clean and have everything needed. The swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room are a great plus! The staff is very polite, nice and friendly.

This large clean hotel is a convenient walk outside the walled city of Saint Malo. Lots of public parking around the hotel. Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Happy with what ive already said

Nice, clean, modern hotel recently refurbished. Nice staff. Particularly enjoyed the swimming pool, hammam, jacuzzi area on a rainy morning... perfectly located less than 5 mins from the Intra-Muros area!

Super hôtel rénové en entier, confortable, très bien situé et bon service. Petits éléments manquants pour que cela soit plus que parfait: 1 prise de courant dans la chambre, 1 crochet seulement pour les serviettes, plus d’oreillers. Je recommande

Great Hotel in a good location, Staff Friendly and helpful.

Excellent location and within easy walking distance to the old city area of St. Malo. Our room faced the ocean with a beautiful balcony with opening doors - such a fresh option to sleep with doors open and listen to the ocean at night - my happy place! Staff are super friendly and helpful explaining where to go and what to see. However, parking was not straightforward and explained. We ended up paying for parking down the street only to notice there is an underground option at the property no one told us about. Bummer. Also - there are TWO Oceania's on the strip. One is a 3 star and this one - which is a 4 star. We made this mistake!

Very good hotel, lovely staff friendly and helpful, nice breakfast with lots of choice, beautiful views over the beach. Hotel was clean and immaculate. Rooms well stocked with tea coffee water, biscuits, beautiful rituals toiletries, everything you could need, dressing gowns and slippers provided. Couldn’t fault it - the swimming pool and jacuzzi tub was lovely , plenty of towels and loungers to relax. My only complaint is that the bar was closed throughout our stay, but there is plenty of places to get drinks nearby, if the bar was open it would have been near enough a perfect stay.

No review

The reception staff friendliness and customer service was absolutely outstanding. They went over and above to try and accommodate us with special request. They were stars!

Very good hotel, although the corridors had a musty smell. I’m told it is being refurbished this winter. Room was good with good air conditioning. Looked at the breakfast offering but didn’t bother at 20 euros each. Parking underneath was worthwhile as it is a nightmare trying to park in St Malo at this time of year.

It was really clean very close to all amenities

Excellent

Friendly staff. Very clean hotel with parking. Great location close to the old St Malo

Lovely overnight stay in the hotel, excellent facilities and easy location to the town. Staff were very accomodating :-)

Nice, modern hotel, with good breakfast and easy on-site parking. While we were there (November), the hotel and room was a little cold. It was very windy, sounding like the balcony door was open, and made the fittings in the room squeak and rattle, which was slightly alarming (and annoying). Good location, close to old town.

It’s okay. French style.

Great hotel, very close to all mains attractions in Saint Malo. Good service as well as the breakfast buffet. Would definitely recommend

Beautiful room. Gracious staff.

Staff was really not friendly and not helpful at all, just because I speak English does not make me British, we left the room at 10:00 in the morning and came back at 16:30 and the room was not even cleaned, for a so called 4 star hotel one would expect a bit better, to any foreign Traveller speaking English I would really not recommend this hotel

Tatty room, no fridge, cheap bed, surging very hot water in shower, hard floors in room, tiny pool, miniature gym. Good breakfast, good location.

A modern and pretty hotel. Liked it very much. Excellent staff

It’s a Seaside Hotel with a nice view out the front.

5 Star city centre hotel at a 4 star price with secure parking

Perfect in every way. Spacious room, huge bed, quiet location yet only 3 minutes walk for, the main entrance to the walled city. Added bonus of underground secure parking for our bicycles.

This hotel is close to the old city and on the beach. The indoor pool is a gem- small but sufficient for a quick dip, and private terrace a treat. Staff were helpful and polite. Will make this our first choice St Malo hotel.

Very good location just outside the walls of St Malo. Friendly reception staff. Big bed. Good shower. Separate toilet. Nespresso machine. Nice bed linen. Soft big towels. Nice toiletries. Good choice at breakfast. Garage car parking is quite tight.

Lovely stay! Would return

A wonderful stay wish we could have stayed longer. We zesq

Very close to Saint Malo Old town but also the beach. Very easy to get everywhere on foot. Hotel was convenient but quiet.

Property was clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Close to the old town. Unfortunately there was road works going on right by the hotel which made parking difficult (very expensive at the hotel). Road works also difficult for my sister in a wheelchair who could not get along the footpath.

Visited St Malo for a long weekend break and after looking at various hotels we decided to choose the Hotel Oceania. The hotel is in an excellent location and the service and standard of hotel was very good. Hotel car park was closed when we arrived but the parking on the street around the hotel was easy and for 3.60 Euros per day it is much lower then hotel price. The only thing with the room that we were disappointed with is the beds, they were too firm for us. Did not use the breakfast as there are plenty of places to eat in St Malo.

This hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the walled city if St Malo. It is spacious, spotless and right opposite the sea. I even had a sea glimpse from our room which was at the side. The bed was VAST! It also has a lovely bar with outside seating where you can watch the sun set into the ocean. All the staff were very pleasant and keen to make sure we were enjoying ourselves

Nice and relaxed, great location, clean and modern, friendly helpful staff.

Great location right on the beach and recommend ocean view room. Easy walking to restaurants and shopping.

Fantastic hotel with great views of the ocean and the old fortress. Wonderful staff who were friendly and helpful. Great breakfast buffet. Perfect location.

Beautiful Hotel on the inside, the customer service is of high standard and rooms are spotless, the Evasion room was stunning with 3 tvs to choose from shower and separate jet bath with built in tv, the hotel is literally 3 minutes walk from the st. Malo walls. Luckily we had great weather and the views are fantastic specially during sunrise and sunset. Slightly disappointed that the hot tub was out of action and although the evasion room is very nice its slightly overpriced.

Clean room, great location complemented by very helpful and friendly staff.

Family holiday, stayed at this hotel several times, great location for shopping and restaurants, will definitely be going back.

We booked a room with a sea view and the view across the beaches and to the old town from the balcony was fabulous. Having driven all day from the Dordogne, the check-in was quick and efficient and the staff helpful. No restaurant at the hotel but plenty nearby and we had the best meal over the course of our two week trip at the restaurant next door (La Table d'Henri). A bar was available in the hotel for drinks and an impressive buffet breakfast choice available in the hotel the next day although at extra cost.

Booked a prestige room for our 30th wedding anniversary. We were upgraded to a suite, what a lovely room. Thank you so much it made our day. The suite has a great view of the beach and bay. Nice to sit on the balcony. Spacious area nice seating in room.

Friendly staff and nice room, room service didn’t have many options. The breakfast however was excellent. Definitely would recommend here

Great location-beach and city. Dreadful parking...stressful. Sea view room was amazing. Clean room. Breakfast too pricey.

Great location, just a few minutes from the centre/walls and right on the beach. Lovely view over the sea - always a bonus. The staff were lovely and very attentive.

The property was wonderfully situated near the walls of St. Malo. It was clean and staff was super friendly.

Close to Old town, restaurants and beach. Nice hotel with good staff and facilties

We were in St Malo for 3 days and wanted somewhere close to the Intra Muros but with a sea view....this is the place. A 3-4 minute stroll along the promenade and you are at the gates to the walled town. Our room ( 301) was at the end of the 3rd floor with a balcony overlooking the beach. The only niggles we had were housekeeping not replacing the hand towel in the (separate toilet), a failure to always replace cream for coffee and not replacing a broken dispenser for hand wash in the bathroom ( even though I left it disassembled to show it was broken....it was just put back together...but still did not work). Minor issues in the scheme of things, but unnecessary. The staff in reception, at breakfast and in the bar were friendly and bilingual for non French speakers. A fair price for the room. Breakfast was €15 pppd. It was buffet style and adequate. A nice touch was no signing for breakfast. It was settled on an “honesty” basis at checkout. We will go back when in St Malo again.

Love this Hotel. Have stayed several times and will stay again in the future.

We were upgraded to a Suite which was a lovely experience. Great views from Room and facilities. All very clean. Check in was quick and a space in garage for parking also reserved. Easy to walk into the Old Town with plenty of restaurants.

Nice hotel. Close to the old town and beach. Very good breakfast. Nice firm beds. AC. Anne at the bar is very knowledgeable of the area. Super recommendations.

Nice hotel but breakfast outrageously expensive (€17.50 per person per day) and price not exhibited anywhere so a shock on checkout. Jacuzzi agreeable but needed cleaning inside and surrounding area.

Emailed hotel twice to see if I could book parking as we were travelling to France for our daughter’s wedding and were bringing the dress, bridesmaids outfit and grooms suit. There was no response! We turned up to find all streets around hotel were closed and there was no parking. The staff could not have been more unfriendly or unhelpful! I single handedly had to offload all our luggage while my husband had to drive off to find underground parking. Reverse situation the next morning! Would definitely not stay again.

Great hotel on the beach and very close to walled city

Hotel is very well located righ on the seafront across from the Fort National presqu-ile, and two blocks away from the old city of Saint Malo. Very good location to walk the beach and quick access to shops and restaurants in the old city. . It is comfortable and the staff was very courteous and accommodating. One problem: parking. Reserve a spot with the hotel when making your reservation. Finding a spot on the streets in that part of town is really difficult. We had to park at a public parking lot about 7 blocks away, and we were told wwe were lucky to find a spot. .

Great base. Near to the walled area. Excellent breakfast.

Clean & modern, but watch out for dangerous towel warmer that can burn you!

We had a 2 night stay at this hotel and loved it. Right on the beach in a great position and a short stroll from the old city. Hotel staff were amazing very helpful. We arrived at 10.00 am and our room was ready. We will definitely be back.

Modern hotel, spotlessly clean. Staff extremely cheerful and helpful. Prices very good for a hotel of this quality. My only niggle was lack of tea/coffee making facilities in standard room - this surprised me for a hotel of this standard because even the most basic hotels offer it. Come on management, surely this facility will only cost you pennies to provide.....

2-night stay in Prestige room overlooking huge beach, with jacuzzi and 3 TVs, worth the extra expense. I could keep my mobility scooter in our room. It was easy to get out to eat in the old part, or go along the long promenade.

Gorgeous St Malo, perfect location for visit! Car parking at a cost. Only small cars. Parking is tight little spaces. Try the gorgeous restaurant on the corner for a high end dinner.

I traveled with clients and was extremely pleased with this property - and my clients were totally thrilled with the quality and location during our brief visit.

excellent

Lovely hotel, our 2nd stay and had a room upgrade both times. Amazing view, balcony, very comfortable and bonus of garage to park the car under the hotel. Short walk to Intra Muros with shops and restaurants

Super location. Very nice staff and rooms. Easy to find.

Poor service car park too expensive no place to dine

Wonderful hotel in a good part of town Staff were very helpful Their English was better than mine

We booked the last available room. The hotel is in the perfect location for almost everything, the old town, the beach and the ferry terminal. I left my iPad behind when we got on the boat back to England. We called the hotel immediately. The staff (Ms. Sabrina) found it and agreed to post it when she finished her shift. Very good service, polite staffs and the hotel is very clean and tidy. Highly recommended and we will be back to the same hotel too.

Room overlooked beach . Clean comfortable with helpful friendly staff. Just few minutes walk from old town. Would definitely stay again

Immaculate hotel near all the sites. Very clean, modern and well kept. Didn't eat here as there's so many choices nearby for food. Only downside was the parking was fully booked, but there's parking (paid but not expensive over the weekend) nearby (half kilometre or so), and not getting a sea view (we knew when booking). Friendly helpful staff, the girl at checkout was the only one across all the hotels on our holiday who actually asked us how our stay was.

This is a very good 4 star hotel on the outskirts of the walled city of St Malo and opposite the beach. We received a very warm welcome when we arrived and the staff there could not have been more helpful. The breakfast before we checked out the following day was comprehensive and of good quality.

Really enjoyed my stay as this hotel is so handy to the old walled city. The old walled city can at times get very crowded and it was nice to leave the hustle and bustle of the old walled city behind me as I walked back to my hotel. Amazing sea views with the beach right across the road. This hotel is in good condition and very comfortable. The staff are so incredibly friendly and helpful and checking in and out was easy. I would highly recommend this property

Nice hotel. Excellent location. A plus is parking under the hotel (book the parking in advance!). Easy walk to the best sights in Saint-Malo. Quiet and comfortable. Staff was excellent. Front desk very helpful. Only complaint is that the internet service was by far the worst we've had to deal with all across Europe. I think they must be using dial-up. Slow, unreliable, finicky to maintain a connection. For a hotel that is otherwise excellent, this really needs to be addressed.

Lovely hotel right on a fabulous beach, yet really close to the walled town. Nice bar, does the best mojitos! All very clean, great shower and modern bathroom. Didn't have breakfast as it was overpriced

We loved the location and it was worth the extra cost choosing the sea view room with balcony. The staff were superb and helped resolve a conflict at checkin when we were assigned a room different than what we expected. Very clean and good use of space (luggage racks). Town center only minutes away. There was no longer any hotel parking available when we arrived but it's easy (and cheaper) to park on any street.

Excellent location. Staff were good. Underground parking was useful - not cheap at €20 per night but only a few Euros more than public parking nearby. And the room was nice too.

Great location just outside the walls. Comfortable clean room with great modern look. Would definitely recommend.

Modern hotel on St-Malo waterfront one side, and Port of St-Malo on the other. Room and hotel were clean. The rooms have modern glassed-in, open-concept bathrooms, which I don't like for lack of privacy. Old St-Malo "intra muros" is fabulously rich in history and definitely worth visiting.

Lovely hotel and great sea views from some rooms. Our room had a balcony and a perfect view of the sea, which is why we chose the hotel. Balcony screens (separating the balconies) are glass, so not very private - but that was Ok. Also if weather is not so good the wind seems to flow down the balconies and can be a bit noisy. That aside, the room was lovely, very clean and with good facilities (tv, coffee machine, good shower (no bath)). Breakfast (at an extra charge) was good quality. The hotel has a nice lounge bar overlooking the sea, but doesn't have a restaurant - but as there are many restaurants all around the hotel it wasn't needed. Overall, the best things were: excellent staff (helpful and friendly), the location of the hotel (on the seafront and near the vibrant old town) and the sea view from the room. We would happily stay there again.

The hotel is clean and modern. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We were offered a choice of different rooms and allowed to look at them first before deciding. The hotel is right on the beach and a 5 minute walk from the beautiful old town. The wifi worked and there was self parking in the basement (€20 extra). I would happily stay here again.

Fabulous location

Wi had a very good stay, very nice room with view to the sea I well recommend the hotel

Top location and excellent hotel

Excellent hotel and location. Very comfy and clean rooms and friendly staff. Definitely visit again.

Spectacular room ocean view, lots of space for comfort, walking distance to old city.

This city and the view of our balcony were amazing! Do not fear if you cannot speak French, everyone knows Anit of English!

We had a lovely weekend away in St Malo exploring the old town and walking around on the wall.

Fantastic accommodation. The staff were very friendly and helpful!

Great stay. I didn't get a sea view bedroom but the bar and restaurant area do have fantastic views over the bay. Breakfast at the weekend was a bit over-crowded in the restaurant. The hotel feels like it's recently been refurbished, both in the rooms and the public spaces. My room looked out to the rear of the hotel, direct onto a road and a quayside area. No problem there - there was virtually no traffic noise due to the double or triple-glazed windows - but the outer walls are floor-to-ceiling glass with no net curtains. If you want privacy you have to shut the curtains, which blacks the room out entirely. Frosting of the glass to about 1.2 metres would be a great idea. The closeness to the sands of the bay is a key attraction but the hotel is only 3-4 minutes' walk from the old city. There are a mass of cafes, brasseries and creperies. I recommend strolling around the town and not just sticking to the restaurants in the main tourist area. A walk around the city ramparts is a great way to orient yourself to the town.

The Oceania is a clean, bright and modern hotel located next to the beach and a short walk from the walled city. Staff was attentive and friendly. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed with spa bath and separate shower. Nice large floor to ceiling windows looked out on the beach.

The staff set this hotel apart. Unlike the considerably plusher and slightly more expensive Nouveau Monde up the road, the staff here give you the warmest possible welcome and make up for the perfectly adequate but rather spartan rooms.

Excellent base for visiting Saint Malo.

The Oceania is just outside the old, walled city. You can take the bus to the old town from the station, if you arrive by rail, and it will deposit you about a hundred yards from this hotel. My sense was that all the rooms have at least a partial view of the sea. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The room was reasonably quiet; it had a tea/coffee maker but no mini-bar. The breakfast rate, as in most of the French hotels I visited, seemed a little steep, but you can get a coffee and croissant in the cafes of the old town for about a third of the price...
