Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so good experiences. The rooms were huge and very clean, which was great, but they could receive some maintenance as they seemed a bit shabby. The location, however, was fantastic being so close to Mont St Michel's entry gate. On the downside, the dining options were quite poor with limited choices and not regularly topped up. The service was a bit of a mixed bag with some friendly staff but also some unhelpful experiences.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although located on the 3rd floor and requiring multiple sets of stairs to reach, turned out to be much larger than expected for European standards. However, the famous omelette served at the restaurant was not available during my visit. The service was convenient in terms of location but lacked proper guidance on parking, especially for those arriving by car. The hotel's prime location near Mont Saint Michel provided an excellent opportunity to enjoy the area before the crowds arrived, despite some ongoing noise from deliveries. The dining experience fell short with limited breakfast options and a high cost relative to the quality provided.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, nicely furnished in traditional French style, very clean, and had an extremely comfortable bed, although there was an issue with a door leading to the Terrasses building. The service was generally good, except for one unhelpful staff member during breakfast. The location, being on Mont Saint-Michel, was truly special, offering a unique experience not to be missed. However, the dining experience was below expectations. Overall, a stay here has its highs and lows.
