Excellent Location with Mediocre Facilities
Pros:

Ideal location on Mont Saint-Michel. Nice to go out at night and in the morning without the crowds. Bedroom and bathroom were clean. Bed was comfortable. Water pressure was OK. Facilities are tired and need some renovation and modernization. Expensive since it basically has a monopoly on lodging. Lighting in bathroom was poor and paint was badly peeling on entire building. Breakfast was outstanding. Lots of hot and cold options. Busy place so most likely won’t be able to check in early during high season. Prices are similar to those at a stadium or airport, inflated for mediocre quality. Pleased we stayed there, but disappointed that money isn’t being invested in upgrades.

Cons:

Facilities were in desperate need of renovation and upgrades. Expensive for what you get.

Dormir sur le Mon Saint-Michel, reste un privilège
Pros:

L’avantage de l’établissement réside exclusivement sur sa situation sur le Mont-Saint-Michel. Y dormir, reste une expérience unique. Et sans doute que les propriétaires en ont bien conscience vu les tarifs affichés et le confort limité.

Cons:

Pour le prix, le confort de la chambre et de la salle de bain pourrait être amélioré

Bem abaixo da expectativa. Arrependimento.
Pros:

Na Maison Rouge os apartamentos do 1o andar não têm vista para um jardim. Trata-se de uma passagem aberta, com algumas plantas e por onde passam turistas e funcionários, diminuindo a segurança, tirando a privacidade e comprometendo a tranquiidade. Em vários momentos turistas do lado de fora da janela, circulando, tirando fotos, falando alto, tentando ver através das janelas. Quartos quentes, não têm sequer um ventilador e não é possível deixar as janelas abertas para refrescar por causa do trânsito de pessoas. Nada exclusivo, especial ou privativo. Não vale o preço.Teria sido melhor e mais tranquilo ficar hospedado em um hotel fora da ilha, usando as navetes gratuitas para ir e vir da ilha.

Cons:

Barulho, falta de privacidade, quarto abafado e chuveiro bem ruinzinho.

Great location!
Pros:

We felt rushed during dinner, which I expect in America, but not there. The bread was stale. I'm not typically a complainer. However, as someone who has worked in restaurants, I hope it helps the staff to improve.

Pros:

Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich, insbesondere wenn man ein Zimmer mit Aussicht auf das Meer hat. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Ansonsten war das Hotel und das Zimmer, wie von uns erwartet, nicht neu aber ok.

Esperienza unica ….
Pros:

Fantastico dormire all’interno del Mont Saint Michel!

Cons:

Data la conformazione del villaggio, la locazione è inevitabilmente scomoda; la manutenzione è alquanto scadente (porta e infissi scrostati, moquette obsoleta): insomma basterebbero poche modifiche per rendere la location una chicca!
