Lovely hotel for the price in a beautiful spot
A lovely spot right on the beach. Great room with a terrace. Ate at the hotel restaurant, as there aren’t many alternatives locally for dinner. Food was great. Only small issue was we couldn’t use the breakfast dining room as we had a dog with us. It’s a buffet breakfast so completely understandable. Service was lovely. No complaints at all

This property is somewhat isolated on the coast of the English Channel. Only a few restaurants and no real shopping available.

Dear Guest, thank you for leaving a comment about your recent stay. We're sorry that your stay didn't quite live up to your expectations. Indeed, Saint-Marc sur mer is a small seaside resort with only a few restaurants and cafés/bars. However, we do have towns in the vicinity, such as Saint-Nazaire and Pornichet, where you can find stores. These towns can be reached by bus or car.There's also a shopping center just 5 minutes by car or 15 minutes by bus from the hotel. At your request, we could have directed you to the shops in the vicinity.We hope to see you again during a future stay.Yours faithfullyThe Hotel de la Plage*** team

A pleasant stay in a lovely location.
We had a lovely stay at the Hotel de la Plage, we had seen it feature in the film Mr Hulot's Holiday and it was lovely to stay in this beautiful location. Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful and breakfast was good. We ate in the on-site restaurant in the evening but it seemed it was not part of the hotel. Only thing I would mention is the lack of toiletries provided, you will need to take your own, there is a soap dispenser next to the wash basin and shower but difficult to reach if in the bath and no separate shampoo etc. Tea, coffee and water were provided in the room. We had a lovely balcony so were able to sit out with tea and enjoy the view over the beach and the sea. There is on site parking. Lovely walks along the coast. Don't miss the statue of Mr Hulot outside!

very good except for the breakfast!
Everything was very nice at this hotel. Except we couldn’t understand how we could take our little dog in the restaurant for dinner and lunch but not breakfast? So we ordered it to be taken in our room when it arrived the fruit was very tired we were also told we would have a mix of pastries but only got hard bread and chocolate croissants so we were not very happy about that!

It was rather bizarre we had a bag ofg laundry to wash but when we took it to reception the receptionist said there was no way they could wash the clothes as they didn'y have a washing machine. So I asked why they put laundry bags in the room! He said he had no idea.

The Hotel is complacent. They can sell every room without trying so they do not bother. Our room was tiny. The restaurant is worse. Overpriced and cursory service. Very different to our last visit some years ago. We won't be returning to the Hotel

Great Location
We had a sea view room overlooking the water, it was a fantastic view and perfect for walking. The hotel is a bit tired looking but the rooms were quite large, clean and comfortable. I have been travelling for nearly 3 weeks so far and the food in the attached restaurant is the best I have had so far. The presentation, taste and value was unbelievable.

On the beach
We stayed overnight in a superior room . The receptionist was friendly and helpful and our room, although small, was nicely decorated with a view over the beach. The on site restaurant, which is not run by the hotel management, was not so good. I was a grubby and the service was poor; we had to chivvy the staff all through the meal. I had a huge caesar salad and a burger, both of which were good; my wife had a sirloin steak which was not value for money.

Great Hotel, a room with a balcony is a must
Lovely hotel with lovely staff. Had a room with a huge balcony, which was amazing. Unfortunately atelier the sun was not shining so we couldn't use it to its best ability. We did manage breakfast though. A trip to the local boulangerie made for a lovely breakfast. The car park although was not secured it was covered by cctv, a beautiful spot on the beach with lovely staff.

Great location and restaurant, tiny rooms
This hotel is situated right on the beach and the location is perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful and all spoke excellent English. The restaurant food was delicious and the hotel had a nice ambience. On the downside the bar is very small with limited seating. We booked a standard room with sea view, the sea view was great but the room was tiny and it was not possible to walk around the bed without bumping into the wardrobe. There wasn't anywhere to sit in the room except on the bed which was disappointing.

Excellent
An excellent hotel, made famous by Jacques Tati in the film Les Vacances De M. Hulot. Right on the beach, ample parking, friendly staff, comfortable rooms, spotlessly clean. Evening meals were of the highest quality. The only adverse comment would be that the choice at breakfast is possibly a little thin, but this is more than made up for by every other advantage of the hotel.

FANS OF M. HULOT FILM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
We travelled by Eurostar to Paris and TGV to St. Nazaire, and chose to hire a small car. We were strangers to this coast, and the weather of an Indian summer helped our enjoyment enormously. The village is unassuming, and the hotel is the focal point. The restaurant, famous from the 1954 film, has been rebuilt as an extended terrace with a large capacity. The food is good, but pricey. The Brittany coast is well known for seafood, and this is reflected in the menu. A day's drive around the peninsular will take in an Atlantic Wall blockhouse, salt lagoons, dunes, an excellent restaurant - Le Neptune- and a walled medieval city - Guerande. Home again in time to enjoy a sundowner overlooking M. Hulot's beach before supper. Two bars in the village have live blues bands, but be sure to book a table for Sunday lunch at the hotel, because the locals take lunch seriously. Essentials like a mini-supermarket, a tabac (for maps) and a boulangerie are close by. We deducted points for no aircon, poor TV channels - CNN but not BBC World Service. Separate payments for bar or restaurant, and hotel irksome. Very helpful staff throughout made up for it.

M. Hulot's 'Oliday 'Otel
Hotel used in Jaques Tati's 1953 film Monsieur Hulot's Holiday. Great location right on the beach with bar service on the beach. Small village with a useful selection of shops. Really good cliff top walks with lots of pretty beaches. Rooms overlook either the village or the sea at a higher cost. My room was rather small but adequate and good standard of bathroom fittings. Restaurant seems to be run as a separate enterprise as you have to pay separately but this is becoming increasingly common in France. Food good and interesting. Reception staff very helpful and speak good English. Large free car park.

Great terrace
We stayed in one of the first floor rooms with a large terrace over looking the beach. A good size double bed and two foldaway beds for the children. The terrace was lovely. We ate in the restaurant which was good, although very busy. Great English speaking reception staff. Perfect hotel for a one night stop on the way back to St Malo.

Lovely hotel. Right on the beach. Staff very helpful. We booked the superior room with sea view and terrace balcony and were delighted with it. The balcony was very large and meant we had plenty of room to lounge about and enjoy the fantastic views. I am happy to recommend this hotel to all and would certainly stay there again.

Great Hotl on the Beach.
Great hotel right on the beach. Had a room with sea view which was worth the cost. Staff wonderful and extremely helpful; giving us an idea of where else to visit locally. On downside; the Tati Family will now not let the hotel use the Jaques Tati character outlines (Mon Oncle) which is disappointing as the hotel was in the film. Otherwise everything was to our expectations.

Not too many traces left of M. Hulot at the hotel but it is a comfortable, clean place to stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful to us.

From the moment we arrived to the time of departure, our stay in this hotel was wonderful. We booked a room with balcony and sea view, and we were not disappointed.

Surprisingly unique, chic, we loved it.
Booked at last minute after a quick web search. What a find!!! I usually avoid big chains but this hotel is a little gem in an otherwise big chain. In the pretty Saint Marc, directly on the beach with amazing views; super friendly, helpful staff; the hotel is contemporary chic and welcoming. Another thing I usually avoid is hotel restaurants - but this hotel restaurant is a MUST VISIT! Dinner here was delicious and the atmosphere equally pleasing. All in all a hands-down no holds barred recommendation. Oh and mon petit chien was made very welcome too :)
