“The location (the hotel is situated on Mont St Michel) is amazing, and staying overnight gives you the opportunity to be on the Mont after the large crowds have gone. The food at Mere Poulard is wonderful; the rhythmic egg whisking for their famous omelets is a sight to be seen, and the salt marsh lamb has to be tried! Staff were friendly and very helpful.”

The hotel is awesome in just everything - starting with its location within the city walls and ending with the exceptional style. We are very glad we stayed there. On the 10-point scale I would definitely give this hotel 11 :)

Location is great. Food is excellent Poor quality of rooms. Internet not accessible from the rooms. Should spend some of the money they overcharge to pay for rennovation of rooms instead of commecializing the "Mere Poulard" brand all over.

I am extremely disappointed with La Mere Poulard. I learned on September 20th that our reservation on the 21st (the following day) could not be honored. La Mere Poulard made reservation for us at l’hôtel du Relais Saint Michel. It was supposed to be a suite in a 4 stars hotel with view on the Mt St Michel. Not what you expect. The air condition ran all night, the terrasse was very dirty and the view was mainly on trucks and construction workers. So sleepless night. The noise outside started at 8:00am. So no sleep in! This deserves a complaint to "le guide Michelin" and a note to the "Union des consomateurs" or to la revue "Que Choisir". If I had known I would have cancelled the whole thing. I am extremely upset with the way we were treated by La Mere Poulard. I cannot believe they did not know about our reservation and that they did not know about the construction going on in front of the room. Hope you can do something about it!

We were so pleased with our stay at Mere Poulard! It is a beautiful, authentic step back into the past. The decor is lovely, the food is incredible, and it's amazing to know you're staying where pilgirms have been visiting for 1,000 years! The room was very clean and quiet, and the bed was comfortable. It was spacious, especially considering the age. And the restaurant was absolutely wonderful. We had trouble with the internet, which made last-minute work needs tough.

The only (but admittedly the most important ) advantage is the localisation- in the very heart of Mount Saint Michel. Free WiFi available and working. Massively overstated. Hotel itself has already passed its best years with old, a bit shabby furniture. Reception is not manned 24/7 instead you have key-code- something more appropriate for budget hostel. Restaurant serves good, but not amazing food, certainly overpriced, staff not interested and completely detached, you really expect much more from the establishment that has Mouton Cadet for almost 3000 euros on the menu. Certainly not going to stay there any more

Hotel is conveniently located - right inside the city walls - so you don't have to schlep your things very far. We did have to carry it all up the stairs to the 5th floor, but the beautiful view out our window was worth it! The room was pretty teeny, but the bed was comfortable and the hotel feels old and magical. Framed pictures line the stairwells and many of the public rooms showing all of the famous people who have stayed there in it's hundred year history. Sleeping on the island itself allows you to experience the island in the early morning and evening, without the crush of midday tourists.

The location on Mont St Michel cannot be beat. The room was just what we needed, and we appreciated that we could close the door between the two sleepers, as one of us snored! The bathroom facilities were good. We double checked our reservation with the hotel directly following booking and received a prompt response. We thought it was overpriced compared to other hotels we booked on our trip in Normandy. We wanted to eat at the restaurant, but also thought it was too expensive.

The hotel was at a beautiful location. The prices are extremely high for a limited buffet breakfast at 19euro, I think that was excessive! Understandably no elevators, but there should have had someone to help with the luggage, especially if your room is at the top floor. For me it was a first time experience and never again!

Wonderful location on the Mont. Quaint interior. Superb restaurant. Staff was friendly and helpful. They made sure that their guests were aware of the parking/tide issue, events on the Mont, and timing to arrive at the various sights. Because of the history (age) and position on the Mont, everything is small and narrow, especially the stairs, hallways, doorways, and rooms. But, that is what makes it such a special experience. Do not expect to take your luggage to the hotel. Use a small carry-on type bag, especially for one night lodging. And, be very aware of the tides and the car parking in the hotel lot.

The location Everything else about the experience was dreadful. Hotel was very shabby; the toilet pedestal was broken and in an extremely dangerous state, so much so that we couldn't use it; we were on the ground floor alongside a walkway used extensively by tourists and smokers alike - couldn't leave the windows open for security/smoke reasons. Piano playing in bar didn't exist and then the bar closed at 11pm - nothing else available in hotel except to retire to awful room (which they claimed was "Prestige" - what a joke!!) Although Booking.com confirmed we had paid on the day of booking and it was non-refundable, had an awful experience with reception on check out claiming we hadn't paid in advance..and I had to pay the full bill for the two rooms we'd booked - I'm waiting for credit card account to arrive - bets on that I've been double charged!! I've never come across such blatant commercialism and tourist rip-off outside Disneyland... Never again!!!

To be fair the location was great- right on Mont St Michel itself.........after that, the room was small,drab,the bathroom needed a serious update and the prices charged.........18Euro pp for breakfast........no wonder the breakfast room was virtually empty.

The location was awesome. It was the first hotel as you arrive into the entrance of Mont Saint-Michel. Our room was on the 2nd floor and overlooked rooftops of other parts of the Mont as well as part of bay. It was quite a hike to get to our room, which was in the annex.
