This is a homely hotel situated around 150m from the long sandy beach in La Baule. It is a similar distance from the excellent market, restaurants and shops. It consists of 4 or 5 traditional villas that have been purchased by the owners over a number of years and is situated in a residential area. The villas are all on a single site with walkways and outside seating linking them. Parking on site is available at 20€/night and there is an underground car park opposite at a slightly higher price. Our room was small with an equally small bathroom but everything was there. The bed was comfortable and the place well furnished. You could easily relax in the room and it was pleasant place to be. The cleaning staff were very thorough, polite and pleasant. The other staff, particularly reception, are very helpful. There is a lounge for drinks as well as outside tables. Breakfast (€22) is extensive with unusual pastries and cakes as well as hot food. The service was slow due to the staff appearing overworked. There are plenty of alternative places to eat locally if you wish. The atmospheric dining room serves French cuisine in a traditional relaxing environment. It is high quality with a short menu but should be booked. There are other exceptional restaurants in the town. La Baule is an established resort rather similar to some of those on the French south coast around Perpignan. We did not see or hear any other English visitors in the hotel or town during our stay. The other guests are also very polite and even if you do not speak French a "bonjour" on passing them on the streets and walkways goes down well. We shall return.

“Perfect stay at a beautifully old fashioned hotel.”

Perfect stay at such a quaint and beautiful hotel!

Perfect stay at such a quaint and beautiful hotel! We had booked an extremely nice, large suite with a terrace, and this was the most peaceful and comfortable setting, inside and out, that I have enjoyed in a long while. Our lovely rooms featured very nice antique furniture, books, teas and coffee, a king sized bed, two desks, a couch, coffee table, chairs, a large bathroom with two separate sinks, robes, slippers, bottled water, flowers and welcome caramels. The terrace was huge, sunny and gorgeous, and also so very comfortable, with ample seating, a retractable awning and good adjustable lighting. A truly delightful outdoor setting from morning til nightfall, surrounded by the delicious scents of pine, roses, and the sea, and the sounds of magpies, doves, seagulls and the nearby church bell. We had dinner one night at the restaurant ( reviewed separately) and it was also exceptional, and great value, too. The location of this hotel is perfect, just a block from the market and a couple of blocks from the beach. The garden setting , with its outdoor dining and cocktail areas, and small billiards table, is like being in a private village club. Roses and rosemary were all in bloom in May. Much appreciation to the front desk and restaurant staff, too, all of whom were very kind and helpful. Our first visit to La Baule was definitely made memorable thanks to this very delightful hotel! Well done!

“Kurzurlaub in La Baule”

Ein schöner Aufenthalt in einem sehr guten Hotel. Das Hotel liegt nahe dem Strand und bietet einen erstklassigen Service an.

Hotel Saint Christopher is in the best location, near the beach, the market, the high street. Tasteful decoration, lovely renovated bathrooms. Staff always attentive and professional. I booked for a long stay over Christmas and the New Year. My room was quiet, in a villa in the garden. On the negative side, I booked a chambre superieure and there was nowhere to put my clothes, I had to keep everything in my suitcase. For a long stay, not great. It would have been nice to get some welcoming fruits or something in the room when I arrived. Good and varied breakfast, but the meal in the restaurant was disappointing, it was better a few years ago. I arrived on December 16 and left January 11, so a long stay. The last 5 days I was moved to another room, in the main building, quite noisy at night. I left with mixed feelings about the hotel, I loved the decoration in the rooms, the central location is great. I would give 4 stars to the staff at the reception who were very attentive and responsive.
