Hotel Auberge Saint-Pierre - Le Mont-Saint-Michel

8.2

Staying here allowed us to tour the Mont leisurely without the thick mob of tourists that appear from opening to closing hours.

We really liked the Hotel Auberge. We read reviews online and booked a large, 2-story room with 4 beds that was located uphill from the main property. Hotel Auberge was very accurate about the several extra steps. We prepared by packing in small bags with shoulder straps and it was a breeze! The website said "toilettes" and I was expecting 2 toilets, but the room had 2 pre-manufactured bathroom pods - one toilet room (smelled like urine) and one shower/bath/sink room. We had 4 people and it wasn't always comfortable with the toilet situation. Also, we were told upon check-in that the restaurant closed at 9:30 p.m. BUT we didn't know every restaurant on the Mont was closed at the same time. We had several doors closed in our face, but fortunately, the restaurant at Hotel Auberge stayed open past 9:30 to accomodate us. They were friendly, had good food and a nice ambiance. For breakfast, we didn't want the hotel package because it was too much food. No other restaurant on the Mont even served customers from other hotels. We ended up driving off the Mont. On our return, we went to the "wrong" parking lot and were charged for parking, even though we showed the attendant our room key. When we mentioned this to the Hotel Auberge staff, they agreed we shouldn't have been charged and going to the right parking lot in the first place would have prevented that. This stay would have been perfect if the communication about restaurants and number of toilets and parking would have been clear and accurate and upfront. This is a very nice, affordable hotel in a beautiful setting that could be flawless if information was clearer.

generally good

8.8

great location in the center of the island.Shopping, restraunts,abby right outside your door. short easy walk from causeway car park.

6.8

Room small for a triple. Stairs to upper loft were unsafe for the young or infirm and pretty intimidating for the healthy. Island is gorgeous. Setting is great. Hotel otherwise is cute and worth a stay.

8.9

The only problem with the room was that the bathroom had no heat, nor provision for heat, as far as I could tell. The housekeeping staff lugged a very large portable heater into the room, but there was no available electrical outlet in the bathroom for it either. They plugged it into an outlet in the bedroom, whicxh was not workable because the bathroom door couldn't be closed with this arrangment. Also, the bathroom which was very attractive, incidnetally, could have used a shower curtain. Nevertheless our stay at the Auberge was delightful. We were on the top floor, and our children's beds were in a loft right under the ridge of the roof. The view was spectacular. We ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel. As I recall, it was expensive, but very good. The fact that the building is old (but modernized, thank goodness!) was appreciated. The most successful and exciting aspect of the hotel for us and our children is the place where it is located, on the island, as opposed to the mainland. The lack of heat, outlets, etc. was surprising for such a nice hotel.

Staying on Mont Ste. Michele is definitely an experience worth doing and Hotel Auberge Saint-Pierre is in the middle of the main street. we packed a small bag for our overnight stay since the car was parked on the dam. Which is a good thing since there's no elevator. The restaurant only had french menus and the staff did not understand english. But we enjoyed our stay

9.6

We stayed at a quadruple room. The room was much larger than we thought, and it was clean and comfortable. We liked it very much. There were only two negative points. As the room was separated from the main building, we had to go up a steep slope and stairs to get there. And, the telephone was not connected to the main building (maybe it was out of order), so we couldn't call the reception. It was interesting that some other booking sites didn't show me that hotel had a quadruple room, but Venere did. I really appreciate Venere. Thanks!

8.4

The hotel was great, but the whole Le Mont-Saint-Michel visit made the experience. Breakfast was good, recommend including it because there wasn't anything else open. We arrived late at night, so staying on the Mont made everything so convenient. What a beautiful town. Must visit the Abbey!

9.0

First time to stay there, it was good to wander after all buses were gone and all town was there to walk and climb, to see it at night. Wonderful and amazing.

9.9

Excellent location, with fantastic views back over the causeway

6.5

Great location but you have to remember this is very tourist oriented so upscale services are pretty non-exisitent

9.6

If you go to Mont St. Michel, definitely stay on the Mont. Auberge Saint-Pierre is a nice hotel with a friendly staff. The location is perfect. We went in November during the off season, and it was wonderful- almost no one on the Mont after sunset, so we had the whole place to ourselves.

7.5

We had asked for a room overlooking the bay and were pleased with the lovely view. The actual room is part of a series of smaller homes that have been converted into rooms. We had the best shower of all the hotels we had stayed at in France. The room was small but we loved the ambience. It was well worth staying the night. You really get a feeling of the serenity of Mont St Michel once everyone has gone for the day. It was nice not to feel rushed to see everything before the buses left. Be prepared to walk up hill all day.

7.4

nice place, great location, no frills...

7.5

l'hotel è in una posizione invidiabile. La colazione ottima. La camera non è molto spaziosa però confortevole.

9.5

Loved our brief (1 night) stay here. Hotel was great value for us, as we really wanted to stay right on the Mont. Walk from car park to hotel was a long way, but that is the case for all accom. on the Mont. When we arrived, we were informed our room was in a separate building further up the Mont. Our quad room was very large, and consisted of 2 floors with 3 double beds in total. The shower leaked quite badly and we ended up with water all over the bathroom - only negative. Good value hotel, and I'm so glad we decided to stay right on the Mont. As soon as the tour buses leave, the place becomes magical. Would stay here again.

7.9

Main hotel is located near the bottom of the main hill on the island. A lot of the hotel rooms are detached from the hotel further up the hill. Be warned, there are a lot of steps so pack light! Being further up the hill is a bonus as it means your room is away from the main bustle and noise. Don't expect spacious 20th century style hotel rooms. These are mainly old houses converted into hotels (hence only giving 5 out of 10 for space..but that is not the reason you come and stay on the island).

8.9

It was a wonderful experience staying Auberge Saint-Pierre. When we booked, I requested the bay-view room, they kindly offered the room with extra room charge. The room we stayed was very supacious, and clean. The best thing was definitely "the view". Sunrise was gorgeous! Also, we had dinner at their restaurant which was great too. If we have chance to come back, we would go there again.

8.2

The room (a triple) was charming and immaculate. The windows overlooked a lovely garden and the wall of the city out to the sea. Best of all, one can walk out to the ramparts from a side entrance that avoids all the crowds in the streets. Really a lovely visit that met our expectations. The restaurant was also excellent and very warm and inviting on a wet evening.

7.8

The room is spacious and comfortable. The price is reasonable. The staff is very friendly and can speak good English. If you want to have a leisure night walk in Mont St Michel (most tourists are gone) and an early visit to the abbey and don't bother to rush back to the hotel outside the island, Auberge Saint-Pierre must be the one that you shouldn't miss.

9.6

Excellent location on Mont St Michel itself and great value. Had a blast looking at crowds of tourists down below from our roon - felt like royalty above plebeian masses. Had separate access to ramparts. In-house restaurant was convenient - we had all our meals there.

7.5

The price is too high for the room quality (2stars equivalent), but you're in Mont-St-Michel.. We stayed one night in the hotel, and it's definitely better to stay in the Mount because in the evening all the tourists return, and you have the village for you. We were in a room with view on the bay and it worths the 10 euros more ! About the visit of the Abbey. If you can, make the "conference-visit" it lasts 2 hours, it's only 4 € more than the normal price, but it defintely worths it ! You go through places where nobody can go except the conference-guide and the monks. Exceptionnal ! Beside the Abbey, the groupe of 4 museums (historical - ecology - archeoscope and Tiphaine'house ) don't worth to waste time on them. Have a good stay !

9.0

I was pleasantly surprised about the room. Mont St. Michel is a small island so I was thinking the "hotels" would be tiny and in bad shape but this hotel is fantastic! I really am very happy with it. Very, very spacious and clean.

9.3

this is the 3rd time we stayed in hotel auberge st. pierre, and we will do it again.we like their rooms for 4 people, enough for a family to move around.

9.0

The main attraction to this hotel is it's location. Staying on Mount St Michel is a unique experience, and this hotel is a perfect place to have this experience. Very nice hotel and staff. We took the half board option and we had a very good meal in the restaurant. Overall a very pleasant time.

7.8

We had been there for 1 night and we had really nice time there!!!

5.3

Nice place, and if you wish to stay on the Mont, it's as good as any. You pay for it. Plus, they didn't want to honor the Venere price; I had to argue and produce the confirmation page. Good breakfast; avoid all other meals in their restaurant.

7.9

My husband and I read the earlier comments before traveling to Mont St. Michel, and only brought one overnight bag--which was good because the streets are very steep. We took a chance and left our big suitcsaes in the rental car in the lot reserved for hotel guests, and it was fine (we recommend you only consider this if you can put them out of sight). It's a little unclear when you first arrive where to park; go into the last lot to the left off the main road (where the tour buses park) to register and you won't have to carry your bags as far--then you can move your vehicle into the hotel guest lot. Our double room was up the street from the main inn, and the friendly front desk clerk escorted us (good thing, because we never would have found it; pay attention to landmarks, so that you can find it after a walk on your own!). Simple room and bath were adequate (the word "quaint" comes to mind), and the view was priceless: we had asked for a room with a view of the bay, but didn't expect a full balcony. We paid a little more, but every time we looked out at the Mont and the bay, we felt it was worth every euro (the views for this and all the hotels is back towards the salt meadows and the mainland, which means your view is of some side streets, the parking lots and the water below and the top of the Mount above and behind--but if you're there at the right time, you can actually see the tide coming in). Do not stay here if (or anywhere on Mont St. Michel) if you want luxury; that said, if you go for the history, you won't be disappointed. We recommend staying on the Mont, because after the day trippers leave, the place is wonderfully quiet.

9.8

Had a wonderful stay. This is a very quaint hotel that is very clean and comfortable. Le Mont Saint Michel is exceptional - very beautiful. Would not recommend visiting in summer (we were there just before Christmas - very very pretty!) as imagine the small historical town would be crowded with tourists and day visitors. Definitely recommend you see this town and an overnight stay is a must!

7.8

We requested a room with bay view through email and the hotel replied shortly to confirm. The view from our room was great and we could see the sun rise from the bay in the morning. The room was quiet and spacious. Be prepared to climb narrow stairs, but we found it ok since we did not have large luggage. Room rate was 100 euro without breakfast.

9.7

We enjoyed the stay at your hotel, it was calm, clean and convenient for visiting abbey day and night. I apreciate for your warm hospitality and will recommend your hotel to our friends if they look for the hotel at Mont St. Michel. Thank you!: Saki et Miki

7.1

Mont. St. Michel has a captive market, certainly on weekends and particularly on the weekend when the patron saint of France, St. Michael, is celebrated. Therefore, we considered ourselves fortunate to locate a room. As for spaciousness, everything on the Mont exists in a confined space, so all rooms are going to be small. The experience of staying on the Island was a 10+. The inconvenience of many stairs and small rooms pales by comparison.

9.6

Room was much better than the picture let as hope for! This is perfect hotel to stay in this mysterious island!

9.2

LOVED THE STAY; IT WAS QUIET, EVEN WITH WINDOWS OPEN AT NIGHT

9.4

I was a great experience to stay on le Mont Saint Michel.We came at 10 oclock in the morning and get our rooms immidiatly,which gave us a whole day on le Mont.After the many tourists have left the island, we went for an evening walk round the mont.The abbey was beautiful lighted and music was heard inside.Our rooms were fine and we had a breathtaking view over the bay from our rooms.

9.8

better than advertised. much bigger, cleaner and better equipped than i expected. and of course the location (ON the island) was unbeatable.

10

Loved staying on Mont St Michel instead of one of the chain hotels off island. The atmosphere is on the Mont.

7.8

Were were a family of 4 - 2 adults & 2 boys ages 9 & 12. Place was nicely located with a great view of the bay & surroundings. We had a loft which gave us some privacy from our sons and them some space. The hike up to the room was not as bad as we thought and we WORTH IT. Spend one night but one of our best on our 6 week trip. Would stay again. Watch-out for the entry door as it would slam very hard such that we thought the glass would break. We ate at a very good place, the seafood is the best especially the fruit de mar. Service a little curt and impatient. Food was very good but not as good as 10 years earlier.

7.8

Staffs were very friendly and kind. It was cosy. But the price is a little bit expensive we felt...

6.2

Wonderful location. We reserved a family room as we have 2 young children and were not told that the room was located on the fouth floor with the only access being a very narrow spiral staircase- this was very challenging! The reception staff were very friendly and professional. The staff in the restaurant and breakfast cafe were not friendly or helpful.

8.9

Everything was as represented. Comfortable rooms, good-filling breakfast, competent staff. The view from the rooms was breathtaking. Outside rooms view the bay, inside rooms view the abbey. The stairs are a bit of a climb, but this only prepares you for the best way to see Mont St. Michel. Spending the night and exploring the Mont without herds of tourists was priceless. Highly recommended.

9.0

The toilet and bathroom were plastic, one-piece models installed in the rooms. It gave the effect of a port-o-let. That was the only unpleasant part about the stay. Getting to the room was pretty hard, with all our luggage. There are no vehicles on the island and all the steps make for a good workout, toting all that luggage.

10

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as stated on the web. We would tell anyone to go this hotel because of the location.

7.5

Glad we stayed on the Mont great view of the bay and incoming tides from the room

Buon albergo in un posto veramente straordinario. Indimenticabile per passaci una notte e fare una passeggiata notturna a Mont Sain Michel!

9.3

Everything was right, there were not so many stairs, but it's true that with no lift, luggage can be something embarrashing. We were 3, but we were alocated in a family room: a bed for 2, and 2 singles. All of them very confortables. Tough the breakfast might be excellent, it was quite expensive so we didn't take it (11 euros) I would come back

7.8

There wasn't any service to carry the luggage from the parking (quite far). There wasn't any lift and we were in a 4th floor. Apart from that it was outstanding.

8.8

a fantastic site with amazing architecture well preserved. Our room had a view of the bay and a secret door to public walkway which made us feel even more special. I would go again but not at peak season (August). The parking for hotel users was a nightmare until we found out how to get there.

9.0

The location is superb. This hotel situates behind the rampart . About the room, My children was pleased with attic. From the window of the attic, we can see the bay.
