Hotel de l Abbaye Le Tronchet Saint Malo

A True Gem Among French Stays This hotel truly stood out as the highlight of our trip through France. The photo shared captures the serene inner courtyard as seen from our private terrace, offering a sense of the peaceful atmosphere that defines the entire experience. Our stay was exceptionally pleasant. The hotel was immaculate and exuded a refined coziness that made it feel both luxurious and inviting. The building itself, rich in history and beautifully maintained, added a unique character and charm that modern hotels often lack. The peaceful surroundings further enhanced the sense of relaxation. Our room was in excellent condition, quiet, well-appointed, and offering all the comfort one could wish for. The property also features a good-sized swimming pool and a compact yet elegant spa area, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. One of the highlights was the in-house fine dining restaurant, where we enjoyed a dinner. The quality of the ingredients, many sourced locally, was clearly evident. Breakfast the next morning maintained the same high standards. The restaurant space was calm and tastefully designed, making each meal a relaxing and enjoyable moment. The friendly and professional service tied everything together, making this hotel an easy favorite among all the places we visited during our trip. Without question, we would return and recommend it without hesitation.

I had the pleasure to stay here for one night in July, and one definitely feels welcome from the first minute. The car entrance into the courtyard feels exclusive, and the checkin process and hotel tour makes one feel comfortable. The staff is very attentive and offer you help with luggage, offer a glass of water during checkin, and genuinely seem like nice people. The room was very clean with everything in working order, but the decor might not be the traditional style one might expect a bit from a countryside hotel, and more be something you would find in a standard Novotel in a city centre. We were lucky to have a Superior room in the old building, there are more recent wings with more rooms, but these do seem a little less attractive. There is access to the pool which was lovely to have during the summer heat, and the lovely gardens surrounding the hotel make for a nice stroll in the evening or just after breakfast (which was very good too). The nearby abbey is worth a visit too, and can be accessed directly from the garden by a path.

We had a great stay, the staff couldn't do enough for us, rooms were extremely comfortable and the restaurant, hotel and grounds were beautiful. We will definitely use the hotel again in the future!
