La Mère Poulard

Excellent location for a visit to a fascinating cultural centre, in a very well appointed room and a restaurant that actually lives up to its reputation.

The ambiance and location were spectacular

Food was overpriced

The fact that we stayed right on "The Rock" -- Le Mont St. Michel was an amazing experience. Most of the staff spoke English quite well which was helpful to an American family traveling in France.

My husband and I booked a double room and a twin room for our teenage children. The "double" room we booked was actually two twin beds. This was my husband and my 17th anniversary so we had to laugh when we opened the door to our room and found twin beds! I inquired about it when we checked out, but was told they only have twin beds. However, there are pictures on their website of double beds.

You are on the same island with the Mont Saint Michel and you get to see different views of MSM. I would not stay at this hotel if I go back to MSM, because I felt like MSM looks better from the distance. As other travelers who reviewed this hotel mentioned, you have to drag your heavy luggage on your own to your room (there were 78 steps to my room!) If you are going to stay at this hotel, make sure you pack light and bring minimum stuff, so you won't hurt your back. Famous "omelet" was yummy, but it is over charged. A couple of eggs and some butter will not cost 48 euro.

We liked the location and that it was the hotel where they make the famous omelets.

Location.

1)The price. 2)The entrance of the annex building. (there is a digicode, but the door is not well maintained, so you either have to push or kick the door really hard to close it, or left it unlocked, which was not good from a security point of view.

The location was excellent and the room was comfortable

The location is excellent and the room is pretty nice. You can find the hotel easily and don't have to worry too much even if you have heavy luggage with you, like us. It takes you only 30 seconds to walk there from the bus station. Though we didn't eat at the restaurants there, they seemed quite nice and they're not as expensive as we had thought.

There's no lift and G/F, 1/F, 2/F are restaurants and bars so you have to walk up to the 3/F at least. As we have heavy luggage, we found it really tiring having to walk up the spiral staircase. You can't find any snacks nearby after 8pm so be careful.

the sunset and the sunrise was so beautiful on the Normandy and the morning mass at the abby was just solemn and touching. Walking around the abby along the tidal beach under the beatiful sunshine just made me relaxed.

the door between the restaurant and the kitchen makes the terrible noise whenever the waiter/resses go in and out. It made me wonder if they were so busy and stressed, or just rusted ?

There's no help for the luggage with a second flor room

La situation géographique, la beauté et l'authenticité des lieux

Le restaurant est hors de prix, les menus sont très mal faits et induisent les clients à l'erreur. Tous les menus affichés ne sont pas réellement disponibles, il n'y a qu'aux heures creuses (de 14h30 à 18h30) que l'on a accès aux menus abordables de la carte.

Da localização, do aspecto das instalações e dos funcionários do hotel. Desde a recepção até o bar e o restaurante há muita cordialidade e solicitude. Estar localizado no próprio Mont Saint Michel já dá credenciais a este maravilhoso hotel com a cara de uma estalagem medieval e interior de um casario renascentista do final do século XIX. Ademais, o clima de requinte está no ar, e é ótimo como proposta romântica.

Criticar as instalações não seria adequado. Ninguém em sã consciência o condenaria pelo fato do hotel não possuir um lobby maior ou elevadores. A proposta não é essa. Perderia-se muito do charme do lugar. A falta de espaço físico até mesmo para se subir as escadas é evidente, mas não se pode exigir isso para um prédio construído há mais de 400 anos. Essas deficiências físicas acabam por compor o seu charme, de seu aspecto histórico.
