Cons:

Hotel et chambres vétuste, manque total de rénovation. Le dernier coup de peinture doit daté des années 60...
Le rapport qualité-prix n'est vraiment pas bon

Der Aufenthalt auf Mont Saint Michel lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Es ist ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.
Pros:

Die Aussicht aus dem Zimmer ist spektakulär (diese bezahlt man auch mit dem hohen Zimmerpreis). Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und frisch.

Cons:

Negativ war, dass es keine Hilfsmittel oder Personen gab, die einem beim Hochtragen der Koffer, über die vielen Treppenstufen, geholfen hätten. Auch fanden wir keine Notiz darüber, dass sehr viele Treppenstufen zu bewältigen seien, in der Buchungsinformation.

Auch negativ empfanden wir, dass es im Zimmer Teppich gab (unhygienisch). Die beiden Stühle im Zimmer wiesen Flecken auf.

Snervante !
Pros:

La vista mare … anche se pagata lautamente … € 366,00 per una notte

Cons:

Ho provato più volte a telefonare alla struttura per chiedere info, ma dopo 6 (sei) tentativi in giorni diversi, ho dovuto rinunciare, non rispondono !
Carenti le informazioni per come raggiungere la reception, si va a tentativi e dopo aver fatto tre piani (ripidi) a piedi con le valigie, ridiscendo e chiedo al ristorante dell’hotel che mi rimanda in un altro edificio.
Per trovare la camera, occorre munirsi di intuito e fortuna in quanto ci sono cartelli con i numeri delle camere scritte in piccolo e anche nascoste , infatti altri ospiti come noi, erano “indispettiti” per la scarsa informazione !

Très bonne situation et belle vue
Pros:

Le Check in très bien organisé à l’hostellerie Saint Michel, à la caserne.
Et transport en voiture jusqu’à la conciergerie où nous avons laissé nos bagages.
Chambre maison rouge bien mais très bruyante (soufflerie du restaurant)

Cons:

Rapport qualité / prix (on paye vraiment le nom et la réputation mais on le sait à l’avance)

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is exceptional, right in the heart of Mont-Saint-Michel, allowing us to experience the island when it becomes quiet after most tourists leave. The evening atmosphere was truly magical. The room was clean, and the staff was welcoming. A memorable experience that we would happily recommend.

Great location to enjoy the village after the hordes of day trippers have left, room was clean, spacious - though as the
Pros:

Great location, fabulous views

Cons:

There are 3 buildings - Property our room was in was a bit tired - meal in restaurant rather overpriced - watch them cooking the omelette but pay 1/4 price up the road ! Though the dining room itself was great, fabulous ambiance of years gone by - that is what you are paying for !

Knapp mittelmässig. Einmal aber nie wieder
Pros:

Die Aussicht vom Fenster war interessant mit Blick auf die Brücke

Cons:

Das Essen im Restaurant war eine Abfertigung
Die Spezialomlette konnte nur auf insistieren geteilt werden. Zu gross für eine Person. Essen war knapp mittelmässig und der Preis saumässig hoch. Keine Empfehlung

Pros:

המליצו לנו ללון על האי לכן בחרנו לעשות לילה במלון הזה שחשבתי שיתן את החוויה הטובה ביותר עבור המקום המיוחד הזה.
בדיעבד הייתי לוקחת חדר מחוץ לאי, שמשקיף על האי.
החדר שקיבלנו היה מרווח יחסית, המיטה נוחה אבל הנוף היה מאוד סתמי, פונה לחניון המשאיות והכניסה לאי לכן שקט לא ממש היה גם לא שום דבר שמיחד את האי.
החדר בקומה 4 עם גרם מדרגות צר וכמובן ללא מעלית.
ארוחת הבוקר היתה צרפתית קלאסית - לחם, קרואסונים, גבינות נקניקים וביצים.
ההיערכות מראש עם הצ'ק והחנייה מחוץ לאי היתה קלה יחסית אבל בחזרה כשחיכינו לאוטובוס של השאטל התחיל גשם ולא היינו ערוכים לזה.

Cons:

כפי שתראו בתמונות, הנוף מהחדר היה מאוד סתמי, 4 קומות מדרגות בלי מעלית זה קשוח.

Pros:

La posizione dell’hotel e la vista sulla baia che si godeva dalla camera.
Molto buona la colazione.

Cons:

Trovo scomodo il check-in che si fa in due momenti diversi: prima presso le Relais Saint Michel (vicino ai parcheggi) e poi, per avere le chiavi della stanza, presso l’hotel Les terrasses.
Non esiste una reception all’interno dell’hotel. Per fortuna non ci sono stati problemi, ma ci sente, comunque, un po’ abbandonati a se stessi.
Le camere e i bagni sono datati, capisco che ci si trovi all’interno di un edificio storico, ma per avere un comfort maggiore andrebbero rivisti.
