My husband and I went to stay in this hotel for 3 days. It was a fantastic hotel. The price was expensive but this hotel deserves it. The breakfast cost 20 EU per person. It was a great start of the day to have a nice breakfast in a well setting restaurant. The room was nice and clean. I especially love the bath salt, they provided in the bathroom and the milk body lotion, which you can really use it, unlike many places that the quality of bathing stuffs aren't qualified enough. The dinner is quite costly. The car parking is about 13 or 15 eu per day. Thank you very much for a perfect stay for us!!

Excellent and classy hotel located steps to the main beach in La Baule, Castel Marie-Louise is infinitely more intimate and comfortable than the larger nearby luxury hotels. Food and service are excellent. Bicycles are available free of charge - biking being an excellent idea in and around La Baule and nearby Guerande.

On the downside, the rooms, though very pretty in an old-manor style, are a bit small and have no view at all, for the hotel, located inside a small park, does not face the sea. I highly recommend this hotel.

Stayed at the Castel Marie-Louise for 4 days in September 2007. The hotel is very classy and our room was gorgeous. We had food in the hotel on the first night, the staff were very attentive, we only ordered a main course and they gave us two extra sampling courses – the food was lovely but it is very pricey! The hotel has a nice location just across the road from the beach but about a 15minute walk into the main street of La Baule with the shops and restaurants (would recommend La Villa in the town centre). We also used the Thalassotherapy Centre at the nearly hotel which was very relaxing.

spent a week here in July. This was a very comfortable hotel with an exceedingly helpful staff. An expensive venue if you were to eat in, but we did treat ourselves to dinner there on the last night and it was truly magnificent on a par with Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles. In fact, it was so special that to eat like that for 7 nights would be impossible if you usually eat healthy, simply prepared options. Only two quibbles - mineral water each evening with the turn down service would be nice and charging 13 euros per day for parking in the hotel car park, but not telling you in advance is a bit cheeky.
