Housed in a historical building, this hotel is ideally located in the heart of Mont Saint-Michel. The classic-style rooms overlook the bay, the abbey or the medieval city.

La Mere Poulard is probably the most traditional and antique hotel in the Mont. The room was big, and very clean, with a very nice view (even though my room option did not include it), great bed and nice hot shower as well. The heater in the bedroom and bathroom worked perfectly. All basic amenities were available, including coffee, tea, extra blankets and pillows. There was no water in the room, though we could get it for free in the reception (but you have to ask to the receptionist because they won't offer you). Its cozy, but simple, don't expect any luxury.
The rooms location are very good (very close to the Mont's entry, what means a lot considering that in there you have to climb lots of staircases. The Receptionists were very polite and helpful and you can leave the luggage in the reception at any time, including after check-out.
The Dinner option at La Mere Poulard (omelet) is very expensive (starting 42 euros) but is part of the experience of visiting the Mont if you want to. I personally really enjoyed my meal, though no omelet will ever be worth this price. However, notice that the if you make a reservation at their restaurant, there aren't plenty of alternative dishes, and all of them are expensive as well.
Overall, the stay is a bit expensive for what it offers, compared to other locations in France and Paris, but is in line with other locations inside-Mont. It is absolutely worth it to stay inside if you want to experience the Mont without tons of tourists.

The location was the only thing in the positive. Our friends had another room that was quite nice (though small). Our room was HORRIBLE.

The Abbey tour itself was nice, but the mob we had to struggle thru to get there was a nightmare. And when we were done with the tour? Wall to Wall humanity. As if they dropped Euro Disney into the middle of the medieval walkways. We were here the first week of May, before the U.S. tourists even started arriving. I cannot imagine how awful this would have been with even more people. This is a magnificent place, well worth seeing ... FROM A DISTANCE. The walkways to the Mont were utterly jammed with people, and after a 40 minute wait the shuttles were stuffed like sardines. STAY AWAY! (Or maybe go in February or something). Take a photo from a distance and KEEP ON DRIVING.

The shuttles from the hotel complex are free and run every 10mns or so. It's also a lovely 2km walk from the hotel if you want to avoid the packed shuttle.
Don't bother spending a fortune on the hotels as they're all in the same place and are all about the same really.
The restaurant Le Pré Salé is the best and is a must if you're into good food. Book early though!
I recommend going in the evening to the mont st michel after 3pm when crowds start to leave. We went around 12pm and it was very busy despite it being a Monday mid season.
The self guided audio tour is great and well worth it.
And food is outrageously expensive in the Mont village and really not so good. Best bring a picnic and save your money for a nice restaurant in the evening.
All this said, a fabulous day out!

Mont St Michel is wonderful to visit.
Mont St Michel is wonderful to visit. The accommodation however was very poor and in an annex which was hard to find. The room was small and in very bad condition. Light switch hanging off the wall, tv and bedside lights did not work and space very limited. We had to persuade the restaurant staff that we had prepaid for dinner! Would certainly pick another hotel if we returned, which we won’t.

we knew there would be crowds - so we wanted to see it at night. arriving at 10:30pm, we found our room (finally) and took off to explore with a bottle of wine, a baguette, some cheese and dried meats - and had a glorious experience with not another soul about . . . wandered til 2:30 am and got spectacular photographs and had a wonderful time. got up at 8:30, had cafe & crepes, and left the isle at about 10:30 just as the masses began to arrive. trust me - do it like this . . .

Beautiful place to visit steeped in history but extremely crowded all day long. Only quiet and empty at night but everything is shut then very early and difficult to find a place to eat. The car park is extremely expensive and dreadfully overpriced. I paid €34 for overnight stay in a disabled Car park for which I had a blue Badge. Thought this was exorbitant and a terrible rip-off! However, there is no choice because shuttle bus is so far away from the Mount.

Great to spend the evening on Mont st Michel but aim to arrive by 7pm to enjoy a meal before all the restaurants close. You can look around the island once all the day tourists have gone home.
I recommend getting to the Abbey when it opens, or just after, agsin to get ahead of day trippers.
One night on the island is sufficient.
You need to be mobile. Steps too steep for wheelchairs and push chairs.

To enjoy Mount Saint Michelle without the crowds you need to stay on the island. There are not a ton of choices for hotels and from what I could see they were all very expensive. The room was small and dark with a very old carpet on the floor and the bathroom had an odd smell to it. If you go in the off season like we did in March the value of staying after hours seems to be reduced as it is not super crowded during the day. Also in the off season there are not many places to eat dinner (2 that we could find).
The room and bathroom were very propre.
The staff is invisible)
At the restaurants we were not even asked the numbet of our room)
Side view of Mont St.-Michel.
Beautiful panoramic view of Mont St.-Michel at the restaurant hall, for breakfast also.
For cars they propose direct access near the hotel that has the closest location to Mont St.-Michel.
And just near the hotel there is a stop of the shuttle (every 15 min) that brings you directly to the island
Every aspect of visit to Normandy was disrupted when SNCF cancelled the prepaid train line from Lille to Rouen, so I couldn’t access my prepaid rental car inTouen, and couldn’t visit the American Cemetary or Mont St. Michel as planned. My only experience about your hotel was being told “too damn bad” and being reimbursed when I explained why we had to cancel. Does this sound like a good time to you?
Very spacious room, proper facilities including hair dryer and kettle, nice location near Mont Saint Michel as you can walk for 25-30 mins or take a free shuttle bus only 2 stops to there. Also, the new restaurant in the hotel has an interesting policy: plant-based ingredients, so you can enjoy eating various kinds of healthy food.
I was expecting a hotel a bit run down due to the age of the building. Quite to my surprise, the interior of this hotel has obviously been remodeled and updated by professionals. Everything functioned wonderfully and better than I expected. Being on the island overnight gives you a whole other perspective on the place.
The hotel was clean and comfortable for one night stay on the Mont. A perfect location right on the Main Street and with access to the ramparts. The restaurant associated with the hotel was good for dinner and breakfast. There are lots of steps up and down to get to rooms, so be prepared with a small backpack or bag.
The location is superb. Staying overnight on the island is wonderful, especially in the absence of loads of tourists, thanks to Covid and the winter season. Experiencing the unique quiet and mediaeval mystique in the early morning is priceless. The hotel is good value for money
The hotel is located far enough from the crowd and yet near enough to the restaurants and gift shops. I am a Catholic and church is important to me. What a pleasant surprise that the hotel is so close to the chapel of St. Michael the Archangel, and that it is open all night.
The view of Mont St-Michel from the room is good. The location is best for walking to St-Michel as it is the nearest hotel to St-Michel and the shuttle service stops just outside the hotel. Parking is easy to get to.
It's in a neat location and you can take the back stairs up to the Abby and avoid some of the crowd heading there on the Grand Rue.
Breakfast was typical of other hotels in France (i.e. it was ok).
to stay overnight on the island is always worth a trip, the auberge staff is very friendly and helpful, we had a very good breakfast and the restaurant was also great for dinner.
Nice and spacious family room, good breakfast for an extra fee, ample parking in front of the hotel, easy walk to Mont Saint Michel (or can take the shuttle bus near the hotel)
Situated on the Island. Easy access to the abbey. Breakfast was OK. We were able to walk around the abbey later at night and early morning with out the crowds was the bonus!
it’s great. near to the bus stop which heading to mont sainte Michel. there are many restaurants nearby, but check their working hours and make reservations too.
Staying on the island was great. The views from the room were very cool and it was so nice to be able to walk the quiet pathways of Mont Saint Michel at night.
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Gabriel, the location was excellent, the staff extremely kind and helpful, breakfast was simple and coffee was good.
