About
L’Ascott is a discreet hotel with just 10 rooms in a 19th-century mansion in Saint-Servan. Each room is decorated differently, the garden and lounge add to the feel of a private home, and the parking on booking is a real plus in Saint-Malo. Breakfast, at €14, features fresh produce, local viennoiseries and homemade Breton specialities. However, the historic building has real accessibility limits: steps at the entrance, no ramp and no lift.
Highlights
- A small, charming address for discovering Saint-Malo from Saint-Servan, in a historic house rather than a standard hotel.
- The hotel occupies a former 19th-century shipowner’s house.
- It has welcomed guests under this name since 1910.
- The small number of rooms makes it very intimate.
- The south-facing garden and the lounge are real places to relax.
- The private parking is a major plus, but must be booked.

- Check reception hours if you are arriving late, and the restaurant hours for an evening arrival.

- Ask for a quiet room if you are sensitive to noise.
- Check the tourist tax and any extras not included.
- Book parking at the same time as your room.
