About
La Maison Vauban stands at 8 rue Toullier in Saint-Malo’s walled city. This small hotel has 17 rooms, close to the beach, with a more intimate atmosphere than a large hotel. Room categories include Tradition, Comfort and Family Triple rooms. They offer free Wi‑Fi, a TV, a hairdryer and double glazing, and are all non-smoking, with room service at set times and a lift. The hotel is not a spa hotel; its appeal lies in its location and atmosphere, with a concierge for restaurants and excursions, a lounge bar, a tearoom, newspapers and a baby package on request. There is no full restaurant, but the lounge bar and tearoom serve drinks and snacks. The breakfast buffet is served in the dining room or in your room. There is no private car park, so plan parking in or outside the walled city, especially in high season. Wheelchair access is difficult, so check your needs with the hotel before booking. There is no dedicated bike storage. Nearby: the ramparts, the Bon-Secours beach, the Plage du Môle, the marina, the Grand Bé, the Musée d’Histoire de Saint-Malo and the ferry terminal.
