Staying inside Mont Saint-Michel is a truly marvelous experience, though our stay would have been perfect with a simpler
Pros:

Staying inside Mont Saint-Michel is absolutely marvelous!

Cons:

Staying inside Mont Saint-Michel is marvelous! However, the check-in process was quite inconvenient, as we had to get off the bus, check in at a partner hotel, and then take another shuttle.
Unfortunately, the room conditions could also be improved: there was mold on the ceiling, a broken curtain, and no air conditioning. Additionally, the reception was unattended during our stay, and we were only able to speak with someone at check-out

Great location for Le Mont Saint-Michel
Pros:

The location. Comfortable room

Cons:

Staff very rushed at breakfast and we had to keep asking for items that had run out or not there. Room was exceptionally hot and fan inefficient

Overnighter on Le Mont Saint Michel
Pros:

Being on the island was fantastic. The views from the room over the bay were great. Good breakfast included. There was a fan in the room (needed for the hot weather and being on the top floor).

Cons:

Not being made aware that we would be on the top floor (4th floor with 82 steps) - we are not young guests. Dark and dated bathroom. Not being made aware of being in an attic room with low beams so had to be very careful not to hit my head.

Luogo incantevole ma strutture fatiscenti
Pros:

Il fatto di aver passato la notte sull'isola.

Cons:

La prima stanza assegnataci puzzava terribilmente di fognatura. La struttura non è mantenuta (moquette vecchia, pareti scrostate, muffa nei bagni, finestre marce). Ci hanno dato un'altra stanza decisamente più piccola, ma perlomeno senza cattivi odori. Non hanno applicato nessuno sconto, malgrado la categoria della seconda stanza fosse inferiore.

Albergo pessimo in un posto meraviglioso
Pros:

La posizione, e' magico dormire sul monte. Albergo storico, anche se molto trascurato

Cons:

Noi abbiamo dormito nella dependance. La camera e il bagno vecchi, molto trasandati. Polvere ovunque. Un bell'albergo del genere dovrebbero tenerlo molto meglio. Colazione mediocre (poca scelta e cose di bassa qualita', pancake gelidi, macedonia che sembrava sciroppata, uova strappazzate liquide...), la peggiore del viaggio. La cena terribile. Abbiamo preso la frittata ma l'uovo era crudo e con schiuma....in seguito alle nostre critiche la cameriera ci ha riferito che quella era la ricetta, per noi immangiabile
