Le Mont-Saint-Michel Hotels with Bars

The hotel is well located at the entrance to the city of Mont Saint-Michel, but don't expect to see a surprising view of either the bay or the abbey. There are the roofs of the buildings that surround it that block the view. The room is quite spacious and well appointed. The bathroom has a corner bath, but no window. The beds and furniture are clean, but I was unpleasantly surprised to see the state of the window sills and frames blackened with dirt. I wanted to put my phone there to make a video of the sunrise but I was quickly challenged by the state of the windows. The hotel does not have an elevator and the stairs are quite narrow. Therefore, not suitable for the elderly or people with reduced mobility. There was enough choice for breakfast and the girl who served us was very nice. There were just some products (pain au chocolat, for example) that were not replenished. It was not yet the end of the service, however. We wanted to eat at the restaurant but the reservation is full. Surprisingly, passing there at the start and middle of service, a lot of tables are empty but we were refused access and sent to the restaurant of the nearby inn.

La posizione ovviamente è fantastica, abbiamo potuto camminare la sera e passeggiare all'alba in una Mont Saint-Michel praticamente deserta e tutto questo non ha prezzo! L'albergo invece è quasi scandaloso per la cifra richiesta: una camera piccola e spartana, arredi vecchi. Il phon a muro era rotto e quando abbiamo richiesto, con i capelli bagnati, un phon sostitutivo ci è stato risposto che non ne avevano! Inaccettabile per un hotel da € 135 a notte! Colazione inclusa allo storico Mere Poulard lì vicino (con le foto di tutti i più importanti personaggi del Novecento appese alle pareti!); ma anche lì sono glorie passate: sia la colazione che il servizio non sono memorabili.

I think it's a room like a Japanese business hotel, so I like it, but it was clean and I was satisfied. The only disappointment was that the reception, breakfast restaurant and rooms were all in separate buildings and had to walk a little. And the building with the room is very hard to understand. I was explained in English but I couldn't understand. At the time of my check-in, another customer (French) was just trying to check in, and he said, `` Because we are checking in now, let's go to the room building '', so we went together Was. I was able to go to the room immediately because they were there, but if I were alone, I might not have been able to get to the room. I had such a serious thought, but the room was beautiful and there was no problem after check-in. Except that the shower water pressure was weak. We stayed at the island of Mont-Saint-Michel cheaply and were quite satisfied. Finally, the location of the reception is just up the stairs in front of the famous omelet store (pictured). And stairs (photo) to go to the room building. The breakfast restaurant faces the street so you can see it right away.

We stayed at the hotel for two nights because of its location, walking distance or free shuttle bus to Mont Saint-Michel; the room was clean and adequate, the only set back was no lift to the second floor where we were staying, luckily, we got our son to carry the luggage for us, there were plenty of few restaurants and shops near the hotel Gabriel and other hotels. It was a good place to stay if you want to explore the area properly.

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.
