Lovely hotel,but no free parking, big disappointment was the fact that bar and garden closed at 9pm. Nowhere to sit or get a drink after this time. This should be stated on web site as we chose hotel to enjoy late evening with a drink in the beautiful garden. Staff not helpful really.|Good breakfast

In the heart of Dinan, this hotel is close to shopping, and on Thursday mornings, a street market. Out the back, the garden is built on top of ancient city walls and affords a wonderful view. Many beautiful flowers in bloom in April. Staff was helpful. They enjoyed improving their English and explaining things to us. And we enjoyed improving our French in asking them questions.

We spend two night in the hotel. This is a very nice historical hotel that has been remodeled..the front desk is brand new and connected to a nice sitting area (indoor and outdoor). The is also a bar/restaurant next door as well. The room was clean, well kept, and very functional. There is an elevator, although it was small. One of the best parts about this hotel is the proximity to walking around the old town area. You can easily lwalk around during the day and night. Parking was not too bad. However it was off season. They also had a Market on Thursday that made parking a challenge. It didn't impact us. All of the parking in front of the hotel is paid until 7pm and starts back at 9 am. This is a nice place and a good location.

Dinan is the ancient capital of this Brittany region that goes back to the 12th century. Even Richard the Lionhart stayed in one of these rooms between crusades. The hotel is wonderfully run , with the Owners Representative on staff. His maitre d' is a charming multi-lingual guy, full of good conversation. We recommend you base yourself here in this hotel so you can discover northern Brittany.

Such a beautiful boutique hotel. We recently stayed for 2 nights while exploring the area. The owner is wonderful and very pleasant despite our limited French. Beautiful room with a view of the courtyard. A Juliette balcony and robes added to the charm. Large bathroom and even some snacks for purchase in the room if desired. Perfect location, in walking distance to lots of restaurants. Would highly recommend if you are planning on staying in Dinan.

This is about an event we attended at the hotel. There was a champagne tasting accompanied by a violinist and a guitarist. We took a friend, a British woman who had been a background singer for The Rolling Stones and other bands in the past. We noticed the violinist would tell our small group to be quiet before they played. We were sitting right beside the performers. We were not talking much and were certainly no louder than any other members of the audience. At the end of the evening our British friend went to compliment the violinist on his performance. I was shocked to see him screech at her a jumble of words, the last of which were very clear - GET SIT DOWN! One of our group closer to the scene told the violinist there was no call for that and the violinist threatened to hit our friend. It was a very ugly and unsettling display. Several staff suddenly appeared, the violinist claimed our Brit was trying to touch his violin and then he scurried out of the building. The staff, people we had not seen before that moment, were treating our group as though we had instigated the whole thing. We all live here permanently and we will not be recommending the place to anyone, ever. UPDATE: following the response from the hotel I sat 5 ft away from the entertainers and saw the whole thing unfold with alarm. Ping 45 Euros for an event and having the hotel respond like this just shows how little they care.

We stayed here for two nights in Late August. We very much liked this hotel. Rooms were clean and quiet. The owner was a very nice man who went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. Staff were helpful. The hotel is located on a main square in the old part of town, which was great. The hotel has a back garden overlooking the old city walls. This back garden is a perfect place for a glass of wine on a summer afternoon. Breakfast is excellent. We would stay here again.
