Bessere Jugendherberge
Pros:

Lage Hotel war gut und die Abtei herausragend. Es war schön, abends mit wenigen Touristen auf Le Mont St. MICHEL zu verweilen.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war nicht sauber und heruntergekommen. Der Geruch in den Gängen des Hotels war modrig. Es war eune bessere Jugendherberge und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis steht in keinem Verhältnis. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend

Pros:

Close to the Mont entrance. Nice size room. Breakfast excellent.

Cons:

Some reception staff - Seemed like just a job rather than valuing visitors that keep the tourist industry going for their towns.
Not so straight forward to locate checkin.

Pros:

O hotel é histórico e bem aconchegante. O café da manhã tem boas opções. o hotel não tem elevador, o que é compreensível por respeitar as características arquitetônicas da época. A estadia vale mto a pena, pois a noite Mt Saint Michel fica isolado, exclusivo somente para hóspedes dos poucos hotéis existentes.

Cons:

Seria útil ter frigobar no quarto

Loved being able to walk around in the evening when most everyone has left for the day. Had the place to ourselves, unl
Pros:

Fantastic location inside the walls of Mont St Michel. Clean room with view of the Abby and a few bird nests nestled among the rock walls. No complaints

Cons:

There are no elevators, and had a 4th floor room, but I knew that going in so was prepared.

Great hotel, great view, difficult to access room with luggage
Pros:

Close to the gate, made it easy too get on and off the amount for late arrival and early departure times to catch a bus and train. It was very clean and the room had nice views

Cons:

Being on the top floor was a lot of steps. I think guests should be advised regarding the stairs when they are placed in such a high room. Having never been there before, I had no comprehension that asking for a Bay view would put me up four flights of stairs, plus another set of stairs inside my room entrance door.

I wasn’t happy that the burned out lightbulb in the bedroom wasn’t fixed until my third request. Not a huge deal but disappointing that the first two requests didn’t get it taken care of.

Overall glad we stayed to experience Le Mont St. Michel at night.
Pros:

We booked 2 rooms, one double for our adult sons and the apartment because it was the only room left. The apartment was nice and clean, but expensive. Although I’m glad we had the apartment because I would not have been happy in the double room.

Cons:

The double room was very tired. It needed a deep cleaning and new carpet. I was glad it was only one night.

Очень хороший отель.
Pros:

Провели одну ночь в номере с видом на залив. Номер просторный, комфортный, чистый, полностью соответствующий описанию на сайте. Кровать большая и очень удобная. Завтрак вкусный. Но самое лучшее - это потрясающий вид из окна. За приливами и отливами можно было наблюдать прямо из номера. Остались очень довольны.

Je suis très satisfaite de mon séjour et de l'expérience globale
Pros:

Très bon séjour à la Mère Poulard. L'emplacement est exceptionnel, avec une magnifique vue sur la baie exactement comme je l'avais demandé. Le petit déjeuner était également très bon et agréable. Petit bémol cependant : la chambre était vraiment petite pour un tarif assez élevé; Je ne sais pas si cel est lié à une réservation effectuée via Booking mais c'est le seul point qui m'a un peu déçu.
