Hostellerie de la Pointe Saint-Mathieu - Spa & Restaurant

Location is good, check-in and check out are professional, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. That is all there is to take. Breakfast that is outrageously expensive, has very little choice, tries to give a luxury aspect to it trying to give a table service. The said service is poor, we had to wait 15-20mn before we could even get hot water for a tea, and our order taken. The quantities were a proper joke, and the menu does not specify the allergens for each course, which should be mandatory. After 20mn waiting and nothing of the sort specified on the menu, I did not double check with the waiter if there was lactose in the scrambled eggs. I have been sick for the rest of the stay, and I am “only” intolerant, not allergic, so a “cheat” can be allowed every now and then. Considering how sick I have been I suspect a very high use of dairy in the dishes that should have been mentionned on the menu.

Wonderful stay in a unique location. I stayed with my family for two nights and everything was great. Ample rooms, very friendly staff, excellent restaurant, and unique location with amazing ocean views. Definitely a place to visit if you want to know the western part of Bretagne.

We enjoyed our stay very much as the location was amazing, the room beautiful, and the food delicious !

Pointe St-Mathieu has a very end of the world feel, and it is not called Finistere for nothing. The Hostellerie de la Pointe St-Mathieu is very modern and we were in a well-appointed Superior Double room with windows on three sides [#6], which was 159 euros plus breakfast at 24 euros pp [£181 in total for B&B]. They have both a Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant and their Bistrot 1954; however since the former was closed the night we were there, we ate in the latter. Parking is under the hotel with a Tesla destination charger (both payable) or in the large public car park opposite. We charged at Brest so we choose the latter. Our room was very modernist [read: trendy] and seemed curiously clinical and not especially homely. The duvet had obviously been specified for when the temperatures are sub-zero, and our (north-facing?) balcony must be a chocolate teapot nine months of the year (including now). The room was a bit hot and stuffy and when we mentioned this on checkout they breezily told us that all the rooms in that wing had that problem. So fix it! The food in Bistrot 1954 was not bad and we both had their 35 euro menu. We ended up drinking all wines by the glass, which we thought were good value. Dinner came to 105 euros [£92]. Can't comment on the gastronomic restaurant, which we would have eaten in had we not mucked up the dates (closed Mondays). The breakfast was a highlight, with a great spread, plus great fried eggs and bacon. Would we stay here again? Unlikely, having now been to this windswept corner of France. But it is probably a great place to stop for lunch if you are touring Brittany.

The dinner in the Bistro was not good, no choices. The Techno Music in the bar was awful, like in a disco. The prices in the upper limit conserning the whole packege Fritz Egli, MD
