About
The Hôtel de la Porte Saint-Malo stands at 35 rue Saint-Malo, opposite one of the main gateways to the medieval town of Dinan. The building is more than 400 years old and is one of the oldest houses in the town. Exposed stone, beams, a granite fireplace, gardens, patios and terraces give it far more personality than a simple town centre hotel. This 3-star hotel has 18 renovated rooms. The categories are particularly varied: the Single measures around 13 m², Standard Doubles 13 to 15 m², Superior Doubles 15 to 20 m², the Twin around 18 m², the Triple 24 m² and the Quadruples 24 to 28 m². There are three family rooms, two of them in the attic. The Apartment Suite is one of the most appealing options: around 34 m², with a large private terrace overlooking the Porte Saint-Malo, a fully equipped kitchenette, a coffee machine, a desk and a large work area. It lets you stay several nights with more independence than in a standard room.
