Hotel Mont Saint-Michel dengan Bar

Fantastic place directly next to Mont Saint Michel. We brought our bikes with us and enjoyed biking a round the area and biking directly to the Mont Saint Michel avoiding the long shuttle bus queues. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff and good restaurant. The only small problem we had was getting through the entry gate to the area. There was a long queue of cars and almost everyone struggled getting through. When it was our turn we realized that we needed a code. A quick call to the hotel, who provided us the code, and problem solved.

Oh my goodness, where to start? The room I stayed in was an annex to the main hotel. Upon arrival I had to check in at the hotel opposite and pick up an access code to the annex. Staff were friendly, my room clean. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end! It really looks like the management of this hotel is living entirely on the view and everything looks run down and in need of serious modernisation. Carpets, furniture and furnishings are all tatty and stale, windows thick with dirt and look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. The restaurant looks like an inferior motorway service station cafeteria! As there wasn’t a great deal of choice regarding restaurants in the local area I decided to eat at the hotel. After waiting for a little while I was greeted by an Napoleon-like head waiter wearing tight jeans and sporting an over-hanging stomach! Food was very expensive (unless you opted for the meal deal) and a bottle of cider would set one back €27. Amazing! The same bottle costs £2.70 in supermarkets back home. My snails seemed well cooked (I wouldn’t really know as it’s the first time I’ve tasted them) although my chicken dry and chocolate soufflé overcooked. Service was also extremely slow. Next day’s breakfast was even worse. Tinned fruit, sloppy scrambled eggs and uncleared tables. No doubt due to a lack of staff. So mostly negatives with a sprinkling of positives thrown in. Lovely views but when rooms costing between £80-100 per night this is very expensive for what is provided.

This place is in a really good location and easy to find. Travel light though as there are no lifts and narrow staircases to carry your luggage. As most old places in Europe there is no air conditioning, so be prepared. You needed to step over the bath to shower so take that into consideration too. Our room was clean and had a small refrigerator, bonus in Europe. The restaurant has a good menu and drink selection. English is spoken, if required. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed 1 nt on 9/11/23 & the weather had just started to cool down. Room was hot upon arrival but propping our room door open & opening the window across from it & I also went down the hall & opened the building window..finally cooled down. We ended up sleeping well & could leave window open bc it was super quiet outside. Location: 1) the free shuttle directly in front 2) immediately next door(same parking lot) has Brioche Doree for take away sandwiches, croissants, etc 0830-1730 & a gift shop/huge general store open til 7p & even had some basic food & alcohol. Vending machine outside with food/drink 3) also in same parking lot is their restaurant where they can give you ice! (Get the “ice bag” from the Front desk first) Hotel: had 3 tables with chairs in the lobby, a picnic table outside, & an unlocked breakfast room that had a microwave in it. Room: only liquid soap in dispensers at sink & in shower as the toiletries Being that we were able to sleep well, I gave 4 & it was MUCH cheaper than other places near by(I booked in adv on their site), otherwise if during hot summers: 2 or 3 Tip: better yet, time your arrival to do MSM as a day trip (allow 2-3 hr) & then drive on to another town & sleep there

Viewed a number of hotels on Le Mont Saint Michel (MSM) and plumped for this one, but the rooms we had, were a little cramped (okay, we are on a small island as such, so didn't expect anything spectacular !) and noted the distances involved getting to the hotel from the car park, but the rooms are further up from the actual La Vielle Auberge itself and a bit of a trek especially for the not-so fit people in life ! The dinner we booked and breakfast were both served in their sister hotel, Auberge Saint Pierre and the dinner was good and the breakfast, self-serve but adequate. Whilst lovely to stay on the isle, I wouldn't necessarily actually stay on the isle but it is worth the visit, as such an imposing and impressive place.
