Hotel De La Porte Saint Malo

The hotel was beautiful and charming with lovely outdoor areas and a cute dining room. I didn't have the breakfast, preferring to go into the city walls to enjoy fresh crepes, but often saw many diners enjoying the breakfast fare in the cozy and pleasant dining room. The rooms were also cozy, on the ground floor and tastefully appointed. The bathroom was ample with a large shower. Everyone that worked there, including the husband and wife owners, were so very sweet and accommodating, with tons of suggestions for good dining, day trips, and other ways to enjoy the village of Dinan. The hotel is situated within a 5 minute walk of the city center and the waterfront, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be peaceful. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Dinan and visits to the surrounding areas. I would definitely return.

This is the best accommodation we stayed in when we travelled around Brittany. The staff bent over backwards to help us have a lovely stay. They were warm, welcoming and just lovely people. The hotel itself is gorgeous - it's charming, clean and quiet. We all had a great night's sleep and woke up to a yummy breakfast - lots of home baked goodies and healthy options too. The atmosphere in the place is the selling point for us all. Relaxed, charming and beautiful. We'll be returning one day i'm sure. Thank you both, we had a lovely stay, and thanks for all your help during our stay. Sorry it's taken so long to write this review.

A small family run hotel that ticks all the boxes. We only stayed one night and didn't have breakfast. The room was very comfortable with a large bed and a great shower. It was only 200 meters to the town walls and a few meters more to the heart of Dinan historical dirstrict where the restaurants and bars were handily located. Although we didn't have breakfast we walked past the breakfast room and there seemed to be plenty of fresh options. The staff (they all seemed rlated!) were super friendly and efficient. I fully recommend this hotel for a visit to Dinan.

Fantastic small hotel in the heart of this medieval treasure. Every aspect is tastefully decorated; there is a lovely garden with spots to enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine under the stars. Kevin welcomes each guest and provides information and assistance to assure a great visit. Convenient street parking and umbrellas as needed. Hope to return to this family-owned in and this town again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very first moment, the service was more than exceptional — it radiated the heartfelt dedication of the owners. Their passion for hospitality isn’t just visible, it’s palpable in every detail. You don’t just feel welcomed; you feel genuinely cared for. Every smile, every gesture, every bit of help came with a warmth that felt deeply personal, as if they were opening their home rather than running a hotel. It’s rare to encounter such authenticity. And the breakfasts… pure joy. Not only were they generous and beautifully presented, but you could taste the love behind each dish. It felt like the owners were cooking for you, not just serving guests — a quiet act of devotion from the kitchen to the table. This is not just a place to stay. It’s a place where passion becomes experience, and guests become part of something special. I’ll absolutely be returning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very first moment, the service was exceptional. The hotel staff were not only kind, but conveyed a genuine passion for making every guest feel special. Every smile, every gesture, every bit of help offered with natural warmth and care made my stay unforgettable. And the breakfasts… an absolute delight! They weren’t just complete and varied — you could truly feel the dedication with which they were prepared. Every detail, from the presentation to the flavor, reflected love and attention. It felt as if they were taking care of you straight from the kitchen. A place where hospitality is lived from the heart. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Very pleasant and welcoming hotel from which one can walk everwhere in Dinan, whether down to the old port or through the ancient walls into the old town. We found that Dinan has a wide range of restaurants and independent shops. It was particulary pleasant in October. We'd particularly recommend the walk along the river to Léon, a village of historic houses.

The staff are wonderful, friendly and so helpful. They made us feel very welcome, and could not have been more kind when it came to accommodating us. The breakfast was very good. This is a perfect example of how a small family-run hotel should be done. I would like to mention Ludivine by name as she was the perfect host.

Stayed here for two nights. Staff very friendly and helpful, they speak English too. Rooms not huge but just what you need and clean. Breakfast good with plenty of things to choose from,including some home made items like caramel! I was here on a bicycle trip; they have separate storage for your bike

I had a wonderful stay at the Hotel de La Porte Saint-Malo this September. On arrival we were warmly greeted before the member of staff took hold of our suitcases and showed us to our room. Great service! The room was very reasonably priced and good value for money. Nothing fancy, but it was exactly what we needed (ie. cheap, good and close to town). The front desk was very helpful in giving us recommendations for restaurants within the walled city and other information about Dinan. The location is perfect - just a stone's throw away from the center and its many restaurants and activities. I absolutely recommend the hotel's breakfast that includes croissants, bread, yoghurts, fruit and homemade jam. While I was there I was lucky enough to try the grapefruit jam (a revelation!) and a reine claude plum jam.
