Hotel berhampiran Porte du Boulevard, Mont Saint-Michel

L'hôtel est bien situé à l'entrée de la cité du Mont Saint-Michel mais n'attendez pas à voir une vue surprenante ni de la baie ni de l'abbaye. Il y a les toits des immeubles qui l'entourent qui bloquent la vue. La chambre est assez spacieuse et bien agencée. La salle de bain dispose d'une baignoire d'angle, mais aucune fenêtre. Les lits et meubles sont propres mais j'ai été désagréablement surpris de voir l'état des rebords et cadres des fenêtres noircis de saletés. J'ai voulu y poser mon téléphone pour faire une vidéo du lever de soleil mais j'ai été vite interpellé par l'état des fenêtres. L'hôtel ne dispose pas d'ascenseur et les escaliers sont assez étroits. Donc, pas adapté pour des personnes âgées ou à mobilité réduite. Il y avait suffisamment de choix pour le petit déjeuner et la jeune fille qui nous a servi est très agréable. Il y avait juste certains produits (pain au chocolat, par exemple) qui n'ont pas été réapprovisionnés. Ce n'était pourtant pas encore la fin du service. Nous avons voulu manger au restaurant mais la réservation est complète. Etonnement, en y passant en début et milieu de service, bcp de tables sont vides mais on nous a refusé accès et renvoyé au restaurant de l'auberge en proximité.

Lokasinya jelas hebat, kami dapat berjalan pada waktu petang dan bersiar-siar pada waktu subuh di Mont Saint-Michel yang hampir lengang dan semua ini tidak ternilai! Hotel itu, sebaliknya, hampir skandal untuk jumlah yang diminta: bilik kecil dan sederhana, perabot lama. Pengering rambut dinding rosak dan apabila kami meminta pengering rambut pengganti dengan rambut basah, kami diberitahu mereka tidak mempunyai apa-apa! Tidak boleh diterima untuk hotel € 135 setiap malam! Sarapan termasuk di Mere Poulard yang bersejarah berdekatan (dengan gambar semua watak terpenting abad kedua puluh tergantung di dinding!); tetapi di sana mereka adalah kegemilangan masa lalu: sarapan pagi dan perkhidmatan tidak dapat dilupakan.

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.

The staff was overworked and so difficult to find when needed. It took 15 minutes to find the actual hotel because they closed its primary entrance and redirected entry through one of its partner hotels. After walking around and around and being ignored by a number of the staff, we then had to wait for over 40 minutes for someone to appear at reception to check in. To be fair, once the staff did show up, there were several nice individuals, but I think they were extremely overworked. Because it was so late we opted to eat in one of their restaurants and had the same issue, waiting almost 40 minutes to order and then even longer for the meal to be served. When finally we checked in, to get to the room, one had take our bags we had just brought up back down the stairs, leave the building, mount a second larger stair, walk around the back of the building, go down two flights of stairs, enter another door and then up two more flights of very narrow, circular stairs with all our bags. We were offered no help from the staff. I'm pretty sturdy but still, this was a lot of work. If you're older, I'd say this is just not possible. When we got to the room, it was very tight. I like small spaces, but this was extreme, especially for the price. For my wife to get to the bathroom at night, it was impossible to do without bumping into me and waking me up. The seagulls roosting on the roof right outside the window were insane and did not stop squalling until 2-3 in the morning, and then up again around 5 in the morning. I could have tolerated some of this, but for the price, it was just too much. St. Michel is a spectacular place but so thick with tourists it becomes almost impossible to appreciate. The food is horrible everywhere and one can tell everyone who works there is just tired of dealing with tourists. I would not recommend staying on the island at all, but for anyone who really wants to give it a go I would say so not even think of staying more than 1 day.

Our hotel rooms were spotless and - as expected- small, historic and comfortable. The only issue with our accommodations was the lack of information given us when booking concerning how and where to check in. Booking was via the Mont Saint-Michel site- quite easy and efficient. Unfortunately, no information concerning HOW we were to physically check in was supplied with our reservation. We discovered- after an hour of dragging suitcases up and down steep steps amidst hordes of tourists clogging the main thoroughfare- that there is apparently a centralized ”check in” site for the various local hotels- a fact which we were not aware of...the site discovered only through the kindness of locals. After said check in we were directed to our rooms- which were actually in an annex near a church....not, again, a free-standing hotel, per se. Please note that the breakfast was actually served in a side room of the restaurant of the Mouton Blanc Auberge- which we then realized must be a hotel...just not the site of our actual rooms. Confused? Yes. in summary, be aware of the check-in snafu and all shall be well. subsequent check-out took approximately two minutes in the same centralized locale. the hotel rooms are lovely, simple, well- appointed, and situated in an obviously astonishing locale that is well- worth the climb. Just pay attention to the above....and PACK LIGHT

Our family was excited to be seated outdoors at this restaurant during our visit to Mont St. Michele. Then we waited, and waited. In spite of our friendly gestures to the staff, it took about 20 minutes for someone to set our table and provide menus. We watched several other parties arrive after us and have their orders taken. Once our table was set, we again waited patiently for our order to be taken. We observed that customer service appeared to be random: some parties were served immediately, and their food was delivered reasonably promptly; others, like us, were ignored. After about 30 minutes of waiting to place our order, I approached a waitress who was cleaning a table nearby (of a party that came after we arrived) and in a friendly way offered to clean the table for her, in exchange for her taking our order. She promised that someone would come in 5 minutes. About 10 minutes later I saw a man who appeared to be the manager taking orders at a table nearby, and approached him when he had finished the order. In a friendly manner I explained we had been waiting a long time and asked him to take our order. He scolded me and walked away. At that point, a party who had also been waiting quite some time witnessed this response and left. My family followed them out the door. We were promply seated at the terrace restaurant next door and watched the apparently random treatment of diners for the duration of our stay. We could not determine the pattern of serve/not serve, but it was continuous.

I hesitated to book at Le Relais Saint-Michel based on the prior reviews, but we really enjoyed our stay here! They emailed us a code to access the gate to the hotel guest parking lot prior to arrival, and we just drove up to the gate, punched in the code, and drove right up to the hotel. The rooms were not yet ready for us at around 4pm (a negative), so we left our bags with the hotel and ventured out to Mont Saint Michel. This hotel is the closest to the monument, and the bus stop is right in front of the parking lot, so it was a matter of minutes before we were at the foot of the Mont. We returned to the hotel after exploring for a few hours, and the check-in was fast and easy, and we had a recently renovated smaller room (101) with a nice outdoor terrace with a panoramic view of Mont Saint-Michel, and a much larger recently renovated room (201) with an oblique rooftop view, although still very nice. We found some minor issues with cleanliness (the prior guest's facial wash was not removed from the room), but otherwise the room was clean, comfortable, and just perfect for an overnight stay. The mont was not very illuminated at night (we were there a few days before the noctural illuminations), but it was lovely to gaze at it at night and in the morning when there were no people about, just goats. Would definitely stay here again if in the area - our friends stayed down the road at another hotel within the gates and I definitely think this was a superior experience.

The hotel was great but the attached restaurant , L’Hippocampe, was FANTASTIC. Vegetarian and seafood based menu. Amazing and beautifully created dishes. Karen, the server, was delightful and friendly. We went to this restaurant both nights in Mont Saint Michel because it was so special. We loved touring the Abbey and taking walks along the Cyprus trees. Hotel very comfortable and friendly. Loved our stay here. — Lisa from DC

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

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.
