We had an excellent at Hotel le Mouton Blanc! It was right by the abbey so we got to enjoy the whole area after everyone leave for the day. The views from the windows was spectacular! Limited Options for breakfast but it was decent.

hotel in Mont St Michel, but extremely difficult to find. Lobby closed. no sign to tell me where to go. end up that I think all the hotels are under one reception down the hill. they should have listed all the hotels name on the wall or something. Parking is not free. apparently, I was supposed to be given a code to enter the parking space. but i cannot contact the hotel on arrival. end up getting a ticket for the overnight parking 20Euro.

I've never used the word scam in a review, but this comes close. The Hotel Mount Blanc is closed. You walk halfway up the hill to the the church and come across the hotel with no signage, or directions on where to go. When you finally call, you are directed to another hotel down at the bottom of the hill, and then you get keys to the mount blanc "annex", which has no physical connection to the hotel at all. It is in a separate building with no signage or markings. Specific issues: 1. No communication from the hotel on how / where to park or what the code to access the parking for guests staying on island was. Had I not known that there was a special parking area for on site guests, we would have been in general parking. 2. No communication from hotel on where to check in. It was a lot of wasted effort going up and down. 3. There is a phone in the room. It was non operative so if there's a problem, you are on your own. 4. Although the hotel advertising wifi, the network did not appear on anyones phone. 5. They tried to overcharge us 24 Euros per room above what the expedia reservatioon was for. The first time I mentioned it, the clerk feigned that he didn't understand me. I insisted and finally he "checked" the reservation and confirmed the lower price. 6. THere was a bedside lamp attached to the headboard which was a head strike risk given how low and over the mattress is was attached. I had to wrap a towel around it to keep from injuring myself.

We did not stay at the hotel we booked. We stayed at a sister property. Because of the level of the window, our view as literally at the level of the walking path. Since we were there for only one night, it served it's purpose.

Lovely property. No elevator, so when staying on top floor, thank goodness the staff cheerfully Carries bags up and down stairs. Room a little tight but still nice. Restaurant low on appearance, but the pastry/dessert chef is a superstar. Do not skip dessert!

Spent one night to experience Mont-Saint-Michel, and we enjoyed our time on the island. Although it is full of tourists during the day, it is very relaxing and beautiful at night. The room and bathroom were quite small, but livable for one night. We were disappointed that we were not informed check in was at another location other than the hotel’s lobby, even though we had called a few days earlier to get parking instructions and confirm our reservation. Also, be sure to pack light, as the bus to / from the island is crowded and drops you off about 1/2 km away from the front gate. Overall, an average / expensive stay at a remarkable place.

We went to the partner property to get key as stated on a sign so we had to backtrack down street. Check in person very friendly & efficient. Room is small but clean. No AC as stated. We weren’t too far from the beginning entrance for going out to check on the views of lights or water. Unfortunately a dance troop was practicing the entire evening and the city was never lit up. Breakfast room was very nice and had good choices.

Spent one night at the Hotel le Mouton Blanc on the main street of Le Mont St Michel. Driving a rental car so called hotel in advance to determine where to park. Were given code for one of the public parking lots off the island reserved for hotel guests. (Upon exiting, we paid $20 euro fee. Shuttle carries you from off-island parking lots to midway the island bridge and you walk from there.) The hotel clerk gave us information regarding where to check in at a different hotel lobby. Upon arrival and check in, this clerk offered to carry our bags to room. I accepted his kind offer even though we had only one small bag each. This was most important as I’m not sure we would have ever located our room without this assistance. The hotel is quite a way down the street and around the corner from the check-in location so I suggest you ask for and get help to find your room. Once in our room, we had a comfortable bed, hot shower with plenty of water pressure, and clean surroundings. Other reviewers have shown photos of the carpet as though the carpet is discolored or dirty; it isn’t. The carpet has pattern of almost abstract camouflage design. It wouldn’t have been my first choice, but it was fine. As in other ancient buildings in Europe, the rooms are cozy in size and have no AC. Visited during heat wave in September so days and early evening were both quite warm. Opened window. Could have really used a fan. Delicious breakfast included. Don’t miss the chance to visit this island.

We drive from Versailles and got there after 10:30pm. GPS did not work properly and took awhile to find their parking. The parking code the hotel gave me did not work and I had to press a button to let us in. Their shuttle bus operates until 11:00pm and we barely made to the island. The hotel did not answer the calls for several hours, this place was barely lit, we could not find the hotel. They gave me instructions but no map to find this property to check in nor people at this late hour, we had extremely hard time finding the place carrying large luggage on stairs until an hotel employee finally answered my call around midnight. There are a lot of stairs up and down, the streets on the island was barely lit You could enjoy the dark sky, but the scrounging was too dark to walk around and piles of trash and cardboard boxes were everywhere. There were many vending machines but a few was actually working. Our room was tiny, no space to open our luggage. TV did not work at all. We had a tiny bathroom and the carpet was dirty from water stain and a tile in the bathroom was cracked halfway. I understand that maintaining this property is challenging because there is no elevator but the hotel is a kind of rundown than antique. We waked up because of seagulls, loud forklifts, voices of workers from the Main Street Breakfast was standard but understaffed and fries were everywhere. Our sightseeing to the Abby was undercut due to swamp of people.

Great experience! While small for a family of 4, we spent most of our time walking the streets until we had to go to sleep. This is a room for location over anything else and to me it was well worth it! Just know that your hotel reservation matches where you are supposed to dine for dinner.

Avoid
Like many others I wanted to stay on the island to avoid the crowds and it is quiet at night. What you have to understand is that most of not all the accommodation and restaurants on the island are owned by the same company. Without competition the quality goes way down and the cost way up. This hotel is basically a few rooms above a pretty iffy restaurant. The stairs up also go the kitchen so there is a nasty kitchen smell and trash both at the hotel entrance and also up the stairs. The breakfast is pretty bad in a depressingly dark part of the restaurant. Although the room was probably clean the whole vibe of the place was of a dingy, dirty hotel. There are no staff on site except for those in the restaurant. I said hi in passing and got a disgruntled look. I would stay off the island and just get a ticket for 9am for the abbey and get there early. I don’t usually write bad reviews but as others have said this is a serious tourist trap. Also avoid all restaurants they all have basically the same menu with the same typeface and format. The food was bad. The drinks were worse. Some of the worst wine I’ve had anywhere. The abbey is beautiful but you could do the whole island in a morning if you got there early. Stay in St Malo where the hotels and restaurants are way better.

The location of this property is fantastic. It’s on an island that is busy with tourists, in a medieval building in a medieval village. So it’s not a corporate hotel in a suburb, which to me is a good thing. You can hear what is happening in the street below, but at night when the tourists leave the island, it’s quiet. It can be a bit noisy in the early morning. I was happy with that tradeoff. For my money, the location and the ease of access it provides, as well as the opportunity to be on the island at night, can’t be beat. The room had been renovated; the bathroom was great. I paid for the breakfast. It was very good for the money, with a lot of variety. With the cost of things in Europe right now, I could never have gotten what I got on my own at that price. Check in was quick and easy, check out too.

Good value for staying on the "island"
It's pretty cool to stay at St Michel as opposed to day tripping it, because you can visit the abbey and other sites during the times when the tour groups aren't there. Once the groups get there, the place kind of turns into a circus and it becomes hard to really enjoy it. The room we had at Mouton Blanc was clean and comfortable. The price was reasonable considering that you have to pay extra for the location. The room was a little too crammed. We did see a couple of flies, but I'm pretty sure that's just a result of the climate as we saw them at other places there as well. Overall, a good value and worth it to stay on the "island". I would definitely recommend.

Avoid staying on the Island with a lot of luggage
Decided to overnight on the island to avoid multiple trips on the shuttle. I don't regret it, but would do it differently if had known better. The hotel has rooms in multiple small buildings. It was an ordeal to drag luggage up the hill to our room. The listing doesn't tell you, but you have to pick up your key at a hotel with a different name near the bottom of the hill. That requires carrying your things up a high fight of stairs and then back down. There are no elevators on the island. After getting up the hill to my building it was a long flight of stairs down to the entrance. By the time I got to to my room I was exhausted. Room was small and bathroom smaller - tiny. Clean and modern but not to western code standards for size. The bathroom was too small for two people to share. There was a strange smell in the hallways, but I did not notice in the room. Most places for food start to close at 4:30 PM. Another building of the hotel has a restaurant that is open later. Food was decent. Waiter spoke English well and was pleasant and helpful. Internet was unexpectedly very good. TV did not work (not that I really cared). After dinner there is nothing to do and the island is pretty much deserted. Some people like to time their stay to a full moon so they can watch the tide come in at night. I recommend going to the island only with an overnight bag, if you can.
