The hotel says that it is 3 stars, but I would struggle to give it 1.5 stars. The reception area was dingy and the carpet looked filthy. The room was tiny, the toilet seat was broken, the bed was soft, lumpy and slanted downward so it felt like I was falling out of it. Some of the pillows had a musty smell and it didn’t seem all that clean. I have paid less for 4 and 5 star hotels that actually deserved their stars. Unfortunately this is what you get if you want to stay on the island, a sub-par hotel with an inflated price tag. But it’s worth staying on the island for one night. Just don’t expect the hotel to be anything more than barely ok.

I wasn't disappointed because I didn't expect much. But if you are like me and are taking the hotel just to stay in the abbey, there is another option. Come in the evening an hour before closing. All the beautiful locations will be available. If you are ok with the smell of the old furniture and dust, uncomfortable beds and tourists giggling at the windows - I have warned you. I understand the concept of ​​preserving the past, but in this case it seems like not willing to spend on renovation.

Spending two nights on Mount Saint Michelle is a wonderful experience. Once the crowds of the day have disappeared it is nice to still walk the cobble streets and enjoy the atmosphere of this place. The hotel is classy and a good place to stay. There is some confusion about where to register for your Knights accommodation and where to have breakfast, but we finally worked that out.

The view is fantastic from a bay view room. I was a bit confused however and felt the property played a switcheroo with us. We booked a bay view room. Upon arriving, we were given a room in another hotel on a back walkway with zero view. My husband went back to the office to inquire and was told if we wanted a bay view it would be an additional fee. We paid it. This is a once in a lifetime experience and doubtful we will get back here since its thousands of miles from home. The fine print in the reservation does say they reserve the right to put you in a different room however I felt we were taken advantage of. We already paid for the view. It is gorgeous! You do need to pay attention to the email you receive stating where to go to check in. Its well marked. Also pay attention where to park. Also, do not let the stories of all the steps scare you! Im fat and out of shape and i did it! You can do it! There are a lot of stairs but also a lot of landings. Its easy to rest a bit. And you have to spend the night after the crowd leaves. It was great exploring in the evening and watching the tide come in!

Minimal accommodations for price. Had to collect and return key on an additional blocks and flights of stairs.... which offset the desirability of the location. Very small room on the 4th floor with dust on the upper shelves of closet....location is ok but all of the nearby locations would be just as good given the inconvenient reception/key pick-up

Absolutely gorgeous location! We could walk around Mont Saint Michel at night and it was so incredible to view the island this way. The only qualm was that the room was very hot with a fan, and our room was on the ground floor so we couldn’t really open the windows. This was a small inconvenience though for being able to stay in such a gorgeous location. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Beautiful historic, experience Mt St M at night ❤️

This was a special stay, not for the quality of the accommodation but because of it's location and history. Room was fairly basic but a view to die for, just spectacular. Mt St Michel is magnificent, at night it becomes magical. The abbey lit up at night was amazing. La mere Poulard was ok, friendly reception and good sized, old fashioned room with important fridge, bottled water and fan (essential for the summer). Breakfast was good, eggs, bacon, charcuterie, fresh pastries and breads and freshly made gluten free bread. The rooms are dripping in history. Worth it just to experience the Mt and Abbey at night and early morning before it is swamped with visitors. Parking is off site c£35

Good position on the island. Very poor check in service. You need a code to access the car park and are told to call the hotel on arrival. No one answered the phone. Luckily the security guard was happy to let us through. Despite being told to return at 4 to get our room key, no one turned up until 4.10. Security for left luggage extremely poor. There was a short power cut in the evening. No one provided any information. My husband went to Reception, but there was no one available at all. Luckily the power returned fairly quickly. Breakfast was nice enough. Poor decor ... in need of an update.

Going back to my roots

I was hesitant about staying on the island due to the reviews however, I pulled the plug and WOW what an amazing experience in so many ways! I fell in love with the hotel, the island, its people, the staff. Truly beautiful and lively experience. Particularly at night when all the tourists were mostly gone it felt like just for a moment I was at home. This experienced truly ignited a spark in me to take a leap and finally transition back to where my ancestors were born in France and Spain. Thank you to the staff that make this place so special and magical!
