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

8.0

This hotel is all about location, and you can't ask for any better. Inside the walls, with access direct to the walls or a short climbing walk to the monastery. The hotel is easy to find, even if the map is no real use, and it's not up the slope very much at all, very easy to drag wheeled bags. One downside which is hardly the hotels fault, is the cleaning crews come through in the early hours and make quite a bit of noise in the streets, but if you are only here a short while it is a good excuse to get up early and see the place uncrowded for a few hours, as they pour in from 9-930 onwards. The room is smallish but comfortable, as you really aren't here for the room anyway. Very glad to stay on the island and would be very happy to return.

8.8

The rooms could see by other traveler outside the window. And this hotel ware lighted outside throug the night.

6.9

very nice staff and great location. carpet and bathroom in bad condition.

8.9

Property inside the walls. Excellent location. My room was in the 3rd and last floor. I had no problem and enjoyed the two days in the Mont Saint-Michel.

7.7

The room was very comfortable. Also we enjoyed dinner at the restaurant very much. We recommend to book at "half board" including dinner and breakfast.

9.7

I like this hotel. The package including both dinner and breakfast is offered at good rate. I like the restaurant. Its cuisine never disappointed me. If you are one day tripper, I recommend the restaurant for lunch or early dinner.

6.8

The day trip travel is also good. But scenery of night and early morning was excellent more than thinking. If you use rent car, I recommend one night staying on island.

8.4

Really a charming hotel - Old style in medieval setting, but with nice comfort. - Room with view directly upon Mt.St.Michel walls. - You are nicely welcomed.- I hightly recommend this hotel.

9.4

A bit pricey for our budget, but definitely worth it to stay on the mont. Our quad room was very spacious and full of character even though it was in the annex, so a bit of a hike. We were able to tour the abbey at night with musicians playing in various locations - it was fabulous, especially since most of the tourists had left at that point. The only real negative was that the shower leaked rather badly.

8.6

Staying on Mont St. Michel overnight really is magical! Exploring after the buses had all gone, especially when it's lit up after dark was the highlight of our trip. The rooms are expensive (by our budget standards) but the quality was excellent and the experience worth the price. It would have been nice if breakfast was included at that price but I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. The hotel was particularly good at communicating in the initial stages; when I made the reservation I got a very welcoming email with a lovely description of what we could expect - and it lived up to expecations!

9.7

Hotel Auberge is the perfect place to stay if you want to be inside Mount Saint Michel. My mother, sister and I stayed one night in the family suite. The staff was very friendly and they even carried my moms bag for her since the family suite was located high within the mt. & away from the main hotel. For dinner we ate at the hotels restaurant and the food was good reasonably priced. We were also happy with Auberge's breakfast buffet. The buffet had every thing to from eggs, ham,cereal, yogurt, and the most delicious croissants. Even though we had to walk many steps to our room and raining when we arrived, my mom and sister were so happy with every thing.

7.1

The actual rooms are high climb (with a lot of steps) from the main road/reception/restaurant location. The room itself is nice and clean.

8.6

We had 2 couples (Age- 50's & 60's) in 2 rooms and stayed up the path and a few flights of stairs away from the main hotel in "les Logis du Chapeau Blanc", which is more steps up the rocky path but quieter as it is off the main path. The rooms had one pod for the toilet and one for the sink and shower/ tub which worked fine but the shower door did leak badly.After the buses and most tourists leave the mont is magical with lights on the abbey and many walks that take you to gardens, cemeteries, and paths to walkways with beautiful views. The rooms are in old stone buildings with ample room and ours had a slight view to the bay outside the wall. Our only problem was the Orangespot WiFi didn't work after I paid on my VISA and Orangespot didn't answer my email asking for help or my money refunded. Very disappointing! This is our 3rd visit to Mont St Michel but the first time staying the night and it was great! We wandered the paths until almost midnight after having a nice dinner facing the bay. Breakfast was a bit pricey but it was right there and it was fun watching stores all open in the morning. If you can handle the steps, do it! Practice walking uphill and on stairs first.

6.9

The hotel met and in some areas exceeded our expectations. It was in an excellent position on the main street and we found the staff to be very helpful. All the public rooms and our own room were full of character and very clean and tidy. The added bonus was a private door directly on to the ramparts of the town. If we were going to stay at Mont st Michel again, I would definitely rebook with this hotel.

8.8

Excellent hotel in excellent location. Would highly recommend. One thing to be aware of is that some rooms have long walks up stairs.

9.4

This was the first time visiting, and would definitely stay there again!

9.9

Fantastic! Not the hype of Mere Poulards, nor the high price. Only a little further on up the street (and there really is only one street on the Mont). Loved it when all the buses full of other tourists left and the village got very quiet. We arrived early so the hotel kept our bags and we could go on up to the abbey and do our sightseeing. When the room was ready, the head woman at the desk took us and our bags to our room. Lovely corner room looking up at the Mont and down at the street. Highly recommend this hotel ... but not if you have trouble climbing stairs.

9.1

The hotel was quaint, very French and clean. The bathrooms seem to be quite new. Service was excellent. We chose the "part-board" option which gave us dinner the day we arrived and breakfast which we believe was a good choice. The dinner was excellent and we were surprised that our choice from the menu was one of the more expensive "prix fixe" selections. Food and service were both excellent. The location was good - only a short way up the main street from the entrance to the mont. The advice we saw on your website to only take a small overnight bag was appreciated. It is a steep climb. We found Mont St. Michel's main street to be very touristy - you run a gauntlet of souvenir shops. The museums left much to be desired. The abby, however, was interesting and the cloister was a lovely spot to sit and reflect in the quiet. The best part of our visit was wandering around the mont after dinner and all of the tourists had gone. It was magical. Worth staying over for.

6.9

The room is not bad and the location is good. Only the bathroom needs to be improved. Even placing an extra shower curtain will be much better. Otherwise, the water sprays everywhere.

10

This hotel is really nice and I recomend you to spend some days there. NOt be lazy and go up stairs because the bedroom there it's really quiet and beautiful.

9.6

Very clean and excelent service! I travel with my 9 months old baby and everything was perfect!

9.9

Absolutely wonderful experience, great staff, outstanding service. This is a great place for someone looking for adventure, beauty, history, culture, and something different. Thanks!

7.7

The room was nice and clean. And it's also very pretty!!! But, there were not a shower curtain and any drain outside the bathtub. So, we spent a hard time to clean up the sloppy floor after taking a bath.

9.8

Highly recommend this hotel. We had a lovely room. We were traveling with two children and they gave us a room with a loft. The kids loved it. The vew was lovely as well. Only issue was the door would get stuck and we would have a hard time getting out of our room.

8.3

Staff friendly and obliging. Food and service in the bar good. Ony problem was piped music on battlements behind the room - played in all public spaces on Mt St Michel so nothing to do with hotel.

9.4

Wonderful room--106--overlooking the street with a good view of Abbey Ste Michel. Room was clean and pleasant. Staff was extremely helpful. I had trouble with my car and the staff went out of their way to help solve the problem. Mattress in the room was very comfortable.

7.7

This was a fine hotel. The map and directions are unnecessarily incomplete and confusing. It is very easy to find, if they would simply put it into writing, instead of an inadequate map. I would recommend this place, it was perfectly fine.

8.9

If I had not been to Mt Saint Michel previously I would not have had a good idea of the types of accomodations from the Venere descriptions. This is a unique town with the hotels in 500 year old buildings.

10

This was the first time we stayed on Mt. St. Michael. This will be our "must do" every time we come to this end of France! The hotel is lovely, roomy, the best place we stayed this entire trip!Loved it!!!

8.1

Wonderful reception. Beautiful location. I would definitely stay here again. Restaurant quality and service not as good as hotel. High price food for what you get but then again, this is on the island.

5.3

We stayed 1 night. It was a good thing we had luggage on wheels. It was a LONG way upstairs to get to our room. The room was very dingy and the restroom was terrible. The toilet was in a box that resembled a port-o-let and the room with the shower and sink flooded when showering. The view, however, was beautiful!

9.3

The staff was friendly. rooms were clean and basic. The location was worth it all. Mt St Michel is one of the most spectacular places to see. Arrive in the late afternoon to avoid tourists and take the tour of the Abbey first thing in the morning. Walking around at night after the hoards of people have left is enchanting. I also recommend the hotels "Half Board Price" which includes dinner and breakfast for 88E per person.

8.2

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

8.9

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.

7.6

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.

9.2

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

10

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.

10

We thought this was a delightful hotel, well positioned and excellent value for money.

8.8

Fantastic room in a great location.

8.7

We liked our stay and liked your website very much.

9.5

Upon check in, we were offered a choice of a room on the first floor with easier access, or a room with a view of the ramparts but with access up 53 stairs (actually 58 very narrow spiral stairs) and no elevator. The climb was difficult with luggage, but worth it. The view was good, accomodations nice, clean, with a desk and couch in addition to the 2 single beds. The bathroom was small but addequate. We would stay here again, especially because we had Le Mont Saint Michel almost to ourselves in the evening and morning without the throngs of tourists.

8.6

The visit was great and painless. Next time I would pay the 10 euros more for a sea view room, wasn't an option I saw. But it means you should have access to the breeze from the ocean if it is warm as it was when we were there. Also in summer the main street is open to 11 or so is it is warm and you have windows open plan on some people noise until then. Both small issues, we really enjoyed our stay, everything was as represented and was great.

3.6

Not recommended. We were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary and they gave us a corner room over the bar/restaurant and the stairs to enter the building. It was very loud when we checked in (around 4pm) so we asked if we could have a different room. The woman told us that the street would quiet down by 6:30 once most visitors had left. Well, it didn't quiet down until past midnight. Then at 5am came the garbage & delivery transports. It was impossible to sleep! We would not have minded so much if the place was amazing, but honestly you could visit Mont St. Michel in a day. Beware, it's very touristy & all of the prices are astronomical - especially food. We spent 50 euros on a dinner that was worth maybe 20 (with flies swarming around everywhere). Also this hotel was not THAT nice. I would not rate it 3 stars - MAYBE 2 stars! The hotels & food down the road (not on le mont) are much more reasonable (~40 euros per night) and just as accesible to the island. They're not as far away as I had thought. The service at this hotel has not very good either as the reception to our complaints was not at all compassionate. I WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN!

8.7

Very nice room at a reasonable price (for the area) and we had a room with a beautiful view of the main street and Mont St Michel.

8.8

Mont St Michel was a beautiful place and the room was perfect for the area.

8.7

e' un bell'albergo nel cuore di mont saint michel , il prezzo e' anche rapportato al luogo bellissimo in cui si trova, pero' per una notte ne vale la pena .la colazione era abbondante e la pulizia nelle stanze buona...

8.7

We are a family of four and wanted to stay overnight on Mont Saint Michel. Auberge Saint-Pierre was an excellent choice for us. The hotel has a two level family room with a large bed and bathroom on one floor and two single beds in a loft reached by a very steep stairway from the main room. My children (10 and 12, girl and boy) loved the loft. The room is quite small but the loft made efficient use of the space. The bathroom was spacious, very clean, and well-furnished. We did not eat at the hotel as it was too expensive--we brought our own breakfast with us from the mainland. The hotel is in a very old building built right against the battlements, and the children had a good view from the window in the loft. The hotel's back door exits right onto the battlements and was convenient for touring. Staying on Mont Saint Michel is expensive compared to the mainland but it was worth the cost. In the evening and early morning it was very quiet. We took a long walk around the battlements after all the tourists had left, and thoroughly enjoyed the ancientness of the environment. Visits to the Abbaye and various museums were also quite interesting, and we all learned a lot as well as having a good time! If you can afford the higher hotel costs I highly recommend spending a night on Mont Saint Michel, and Auberge Saint Pierre is a excellent hostelry, particularly if you have children.

9.6

The view from our room was magnificent. We arrived late in the evening, and the hostess offered us a meal even though the restaurant was closed. From our windows we could see the top of the Abbey above the rooftops above and the cobbled streets in the path below. It was a wonderful place to stay as it was right in the heart of the Island itself.

9.8

This is a clean, unique hotel with a wonderful group of people working to assist you in any way. The surroundings are fabulous to begin with and to us staying here only added to the ambiance.

9.5

We arrived after dark and I was concerned about finding our hotel, but just as described it was a short walk up the main (only) street on Mont St. Michele. The receptionist was very nice and very helpful. Our room was charming but small. The bed was a little saggy but we were in a 800 year old inn. Our boys really enjoyed the spiral staircase climb up to their loft room but my 16 year old did bump his head on the ceiling when he got up during the night.Overall we loved staying on Mont St. Michele and would definitely highly recommend it again.We felt like we were in the movie The Wizard of OZ when we explored the ramparts late at night with very few other tourists about. Venere was very helpful with our reservations.

My daughter spent Palm Sunday weekend at Mont ST Michel. It was a wonderful experience. As we left the hotel, a procession was coming toward us. Leading the procession were priests swinging incense holders,holding crosses and singing. Behind them were hundreds of people waving palms and singing. It was an experience we will never forget. The Auberge St Pierre was clean and charming and we had access to the ramparts from the hall near our room. The service was friendly and we were able to leave our bags after check out until we left the Mont. The restaurant downstairs was also charming and very good. I would definately return again. KH

A fantastic location

There can't be many hotels with such a dramatic backdrop. Driving over the causeway on to Le Mont St Michel the drizzle lifted and the floodlighting came dramtically on - perfect. We were there on one of the days when no high-tide was due, so we parked in the public car park rather than the ones reserved for hotel guests. One of the downsides of staying on the Mont St Michel is the fact that you have to struggle your luggage from the car park to your hotel; one of the reasons I had chosen the Auberge St Pierre was that it was relatively close to the main gate, so the struggle was kept to a minimum! You enter the hotel through the residents restaurant and the reception is up a narrow winding tiled staircase (the first of many!). Up another two flights to our room, one of the family rooms with one double bed and two single beds. The single beds were reached by a still narrower spiral staircase and so my son had a wonderful view out over the rooftops. For extra security there is a kiddie-gate at the top of the stairs. The bathroom was large enough, with bath and shower as well as the loo and wash-basin, all nicely done and good quality fittings. There was an ingenious combination wall heater/hair-dryer/shaver point as well as the usual toiletries. The beds were a little soft for our liking, but the room was compact, clean and warm and fine for a weekend break. We dined in the restaurant which definitely a good decision - lamb was borderline historic and the wine list very acceptable. Breakfast was another 10 Euros a head but there was a plentiful buffet, with the lovely croissants a particular hit. Coffee hot and plentiful, lots of fresh fruit and a simple selection of cold meats and cheese. The staff throughout were polite, friendly and helpful and we would have no hesitation in booking again.

We particularly liked the private back entrance leading directly on to the ramparts. It gave us a special feel that we were part of the fabric - not mere tourists.
