Taillis Vacations from $709

Great room right across from St Peters church. Convenient for Thursday night adoration. Top shelf breakfast with a view.

Arrival information was vague. Parking was not explained and finding the reception was a guess. Corridors smelled of cat urine.

Between 9 am and 630 pm you can barely walk down the street because theres SO many people. Hotel was good. Check in is near the entrance and should be specified as we walked up to the hotel, which took about 25 minutes to get 100 feet before being turned around and sent back to the entrance… Not all rooms are actually within the hotel. Facilities were good once we found our room.

The charm of staying on Mont Saint-Michel was a wonderful experience. Everything about the hotel was as I expected. The rooms were clean and the staff helpful. Our room had a little loft which was perfect for our kids. Space was tight but we didn't do much more than shower/change and sleep in the room. We had a wonderful dinner on the island and were able to walk around the city walls in the evening when most of the day visitors had left. We booked an early entry time in the Abbey and being on island overnight made that easy to get to avoiding the longer lines once the busses start dropping off all the day visitors. My only warning is that in the summer the rooms do get hot and with the windows open to cool the room at night you do hear the workers moving supplies to the stores and restaurants over the cobblestone streets very early in the morning. There is no way to avoid that as they need to get their work done and the experience of staying on the island far outweighed any noise issues.

The location of the hotel is amazing: right by a shuttle stop to Mont Saint-Michel, with amazing views from the restaurant, terrace, and some of the rooms. It is also right beside the damn which offers a space to relax and to watch the sunset. We had a garden room with a view of the top of the Abbey and lots of greenery around. The room was large with a nice balcony. The bed was also large (maybe a king?) and comfortable. The hotel is quite dated though, mostly evidenced by the badly stained carpets. The staff in the restaurant were very nice. The ones at the front desk were hit and miss. Breakfast was ok.
