Pros:

Great location. The suite was roomy and modern.

Cons:

The reception for the hotel was in another building and not clearly marked. The dinner at the restaurant was unbearably hot.

A fuir. Ils capitalisent sur le nom, c’est tout!
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Chambres hors d’âge. Moquettes élimées Salle de bains hors d’âge également . Douche sans pression. Serviettes de toilette vieilles et rugueuses . Miroir mal placé ( trop haut) Pas de clim( peut être est ce interdit sur le mont , je ne sais pas. ) literie limite mais le prix lui, reste très élevé ( 300 euros deux personnes une nuit) rapport qualité prix déplorable . Une impression de vol organisé.

Super Hotel am direkt am Fuß des Mont Saint Michel
Pros:

Sehr schönes Hotel direkt auf dem Mont Saint Michel unmittelbar hinter dem Stadttor, somit leiht zu fuß zu erreichen. Geräumiges schön eingerichtetes Zimmer, super Aussicht, bequeme Betten

Cons:

Steile hohe Treppe zum Zimmer - aber so ist das nun mal in alten historischen Gemäuern und hier die Anstrengung allemal Wert

Site merveilleux et des efforts notables à la reception sur la fin du voyage.
Pros:

La maison rouge est légèrement retirée de la rue principale dans un coin relativement calme (et pas trop haut en terme d'escaliers ;-). Nous sommes arrivés un petit peu tôt pour le petit déjeuner et la mise en place n'était pas complétée, mais globalement nous avons apprécié le petit déjeuner. La visite du site aux heures matinales ou très tardives est magique. Pour le retour, un employé nous a proposé de nous accompagner avec son véhicule pour rejoindre notre voiture avec nos valises, ce qui nous a évité de reprendre la navette.

Cons:

J'ai communiqué quelques jours avant d'arriver avec l'hôtel via Booking et un autre courriel pour avoir le code du parking (à l'extérieur du site) que nous avons eu seulement une fois que nous nous étions arrivés au Mont-Saint-Michel. Du coup, comme nous avions également une visite du site à 14h, nous avons dû laisser nos valises dans la voiture, prendre la navette une première fois pour aller faire notre visite puis revenir en navette chercher nos valises, tout cela sous une canicule. Nous aurions apprécié un lift à notre arrivée pour aller rechercher nos bagages sachant que le personnel n'avait pas répondu à nos trois courriels avant d'arriver. Autre petit détail qui a son importance, par temps de canicule, pas de climatisation et seulement deux bouteilles d'eau dans la chambre.

A damn nightmare!!!
Pros:

None!!!

Cons:

The room, inspite of my ask, was given to me at the highest floor. There was no water in the room after 10.00PM. There was hair in the bath tub. They told me they will provide a fan but did not. The telephone did not work for me to call the reception. Overall, this was one of the worst experiences of my life to where I left a day early. I have a stop on the charges paid via my credit card and I believe I should not pay for the 2nd day at the minimum or the whole stay ideally

ein gutes Hotel an einem ganz speziellem Ort.
Pros:

Natürlich ist das Hotel "teuer" - aber dafür ist man direkt und mitten in Mont St. Michel. Und das ist es auf jeden Fall Wert. Das Zimmer war gut, das Frühstück sehr in Ordnung. Wenn man die Lage und die Möglichkeiten von M St Michel bedenkt, ist es wahrscheinlich die beste Variante diesen Ort zu besuchen.
