The really nice thing about the hotel is that it is the first thing one comes to after entering the Mont. The staff was great, the location was ideal, the room was tiny and I'm really glad we stayed in the village and not on the mainland. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Mont Saint Michele and... More

I guess you will have to pay quite a lot no matter which hotel you'd chose on this wonderful island. And that would be ok if the hotel experience were great. But, it has a few drawbacks that you should be aware of. This is an old hotel, so a little "oldish" look is to be expected. The hotel rooms... More

This hotel has a great location, but it is in need of an update. Especially at the prices they charge. Our room was small, but comfortable. The bath was large enough, but only had a tub with a hand-held spray. The room decor was old and showing its age. The staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. We... More

We loved the hotel. Yes, it's expensive, but it is very unique. We had a room on the fourth floor, so it was quite hard to go upstairs with the bags, but the window view on the Abbey was definitely worth it. The staff was friendly and nice. The room was quite big and very stylish. We'll definitely return. More

Mont St Michel is wonderful and we loved the stay. However, the "superior rooms" were very small, the price very high indeed, the breakfast price exorbitant (22 Euro pp for cold food only, and nothing was fresh). Dinner in the hotel restaurant was ok, but the wines were vastly overpriced (no house wine, the cheapest was 36 Euro, most were... More

I'd like to say that my experience at La Mere Poulard was exactly what was expected from the information provided prior to arriving. It is virtually impossible to book this hotel without knowing that it is part of a one thousand+ year old structure; that it is at the virtual top and that there are not going to be any... More

Can´t believe some eggs whisked could be so overpriced as 25 euros !!!. The staff was quite rude, not a single smile even to make easier the digestion of the check and the omelette !!. Surely, it´s the most expensive lunch we´ve ever had and a forgettable experience... As I´ve already read, please see the reviews !!! More

This is not for anyone with problems climbing stairs or needing a lot of luxury. It has a lot of history and is reminiscent of the way basic French hotels operated 40 years ago. Pack a very light overnight bag as you will have to carry it a long way and up flights of stairs. The reviews are accurate but... More

Visiting Mont-St-Michel early in the morning is admittedly quite magical, but our experience at the La Mere Poulard was less than pleasant. While we expected the property to be old and quirky, what we didn't anticipate was rudeness from the staff and filthy conditions. The carpeting in the hallways was utterly horrifying as was the large stain in the center... More

OVERALL - We stayed one night at the Mere Poulard. The hotel is the closest one to the island's entrance, and our room was very nice. It was large by US standards (especially so by French standards), was nicely furnished, had a small fridge and had 2 large windows onto the Grande Rue. The staff was friendly and spoke good... More
