Résidence Ty Mat Pierre & Vacances

Well what a GEM. so we ( bike trip ) arrive from Guernsey late due to the fantastic time table currently implemented by the ferry company and no doubt St Malo Tourism, so a port stay is required. We normally stat just in front of this hotel in the Ibis Styles but it was fully booked. Not wanting to go too far we picked this hotel. It is a self catering style room with kitchenette and bathroom, my room was a double bed in the main area and bunk beds in the entrance hallway with a door between the two. My room was less than 70 euro which is a bargain, great place to stay, basic but perfect for an overnight or a couple of nights.

Basic, overall ok - The room was quite old and not perfectly cleaned. Similarly for the building structure, old and not “warm” or nice at all. Beds were not made and there are a lot of extra “potential” charges if you (e.g.) don’t clean the kitchen yourself or take out the trash. Parking is also extra and needs to be booked in advance apparently. Staff at the entrance was ok, helpful but very cold. Fine but expensive for what it is.

Pretty terrible experience, wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Check in is ridiculously late to begin with being 4pm, after driving 5 hours from Calais to get here we arrived at 4:30pm and was told our room still wasn't even ready, considering check out is 11am not sure why it would not be ready by such a late hour. Required a deposit as all hotels do but do not accept american express for this which is again ridiculous, this deposit also took 4 days to return to my account which is far too long. We eventually got into our room 50 minutes after the check in time to find it was just a sofa bed, and some sheets piled onto a chair, considering the wait for the room to be 'ready' when you still have to fold out the sofa and make the bed yourself; what took so long? The last thing you want to do after a 5 hour drive is then have to make up your own bed, disgraceful that this isn't done for you. Then before you check out the instructions are to strip your bed and clean almost everything in the room. It is a hotel these things should be done for you. Do not stay here unless you basically have no other option it's basically a low budget hostel. Oh and parking is 10 euros per night not even included in your price. Park on the road and don't give these anymore money for basically no work.
