Hotel La Mere Poulard - Le Mont-Saint-Michel

6.3

All was ok in hotel, like I was specting. But service in restaurant was really very poor,not friendly and not any kind of help to decide our meal.In recepction tell us we can take dinner until 9pm, we were 8.15pm and practically we could not eatt our salad, because waiter was just waiting for us to close the restaurant. Very poor service for this kind of historical an beautifull place. Reception desk girl was ok.

9.2

Wonderful location within the town. Although pricey, the meals served were fantastic! Nice clean rooms but a LOT of stairs to get there, especially if you have a lot of luggage. Live and learn! Parking was quite convenient considering the location.

5.1

The restaurant of the hotel is excellent and advice all the guests to have dinner here. The rooms need to be renovated.

4.5

One room not ready at 7pm, still occupied by previous guest. Had to show them it was not ready. Bed not done, beer can on table,... Too expensive, price based on past reputation.

9.2

This hotel provided us with a unique opportunity that is rarely achieved in other places since it is located directly within the 'abbey' complex and therefore allowed us to roam the ramparts and walkways of this incredible 'fortress village'for every hour of every day, and most especially at days end. A great & rewarding experience.

They gave away one of our reservations, and attempted to put us up in a hotel off the island. We were insistant that they correct the problem, and they actually had to remove the couple to whom they had given our room. There are a limited number of rooms on the Mont, so make sure you re-confirm your spot! Location of this hotel is perfect. It is immediately through the entrance to the Mont. As with all (6) of the hotels, you will still have to climb around on stony outdoor steps to get to your room,(part of the charm). The next morning, some kind of plumbing problem occurred, and raw sewage came down some of the rocky outdoor steps. Although completely unacceptable, it seemed that because it occurred outside, there was a much stronger likelihood it could be sanitized properly. Hotel restaurant did not have a very extensive menu, was very expensive, and not particularly tasty. There are lots of other choices on the way up the hill.

L'hotel è bello e pulito, il ristorante è inavvicinabile per il prezzo (alla sera non fanno il menù turistico). La colazione, sebbene costi 15€, è spettacolare! Il contesto è fantastico, non si può chiedere di meglio. La stanza che ci hanno dato era nel secondo edificio, dietro a quello che dà sulla strada principale. Fortunatamente non c'erano molte scale da fare ed essendo dietro si evita il rumore dei turisti. Ottimo.

The price of the omelet POULARD was much too high,i wanted to try it,but i was disappointed.Next time i won't take it anymore,there were other things on the menu i like better for the same price.

wonderful hotel. magic place. good restaurant. unforgettable overview.

8.0

We had a lovely stay at the Mont St Michel, the famous "omelette" was justified! It will be fun to return after 20o7, when the works they are planning to do to restore the Mount as it was in the past( surrounded by water) will be completed!

7.3

Le cose positive sono quelle con giudizio eccellente nel questionario. Le cose negative sono l'assenza di aree pubbliche. C'è solo un bar ma se ti siedi devi consumare. La camera era piccola e leggermente rumorosa perchè si sentiva il rumore dei motori dei refrigeratori. Per fare il conto usano ancora la matita e l'impiegata sembrava al primo giorno di lavoro. Memo male che aveva l'esperto vicino che le faceva il corso. La cucina è normale e non vale il prezzo. Molto fotografato il tizio che fa la famosa omelette sul fuoco, all'ingresso. Ovviamente i panorami sono molto caratteristici, compresa la nebbia all'inizio di settembre. Dopo le ore 10 nel villaggio è tutto chiuso.

7.2

The rooms reserved were not in a good position and were too small

8.8

This was the perfect hotel to enjoy the midieval setting of Mont St Michel. The hotel was historic, interesting and comfortable. We would have appreciated mints on the pillow but otherwise, we loved this hotel!!!

8.5

We stayed at La Mere Poulard for the first night of our holiday to Brittany. Our accomodation consisted of a single room off a twin (Room 205) in an annexe building off the main hotel. The rooms were a little noisy due to passing tourists and a nearby bar but that didn't spoil our stay The food in the restaurant was a little pricey (although August on Mont St Michel must be expensive everywhere) but the service was attentive and the food was delicious We enjoyed our stay enormously and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel and venue as an excellent start to a French holiday Mont St Michel at 5am on a summer morning when the streets are empty is special!

9.8

The only bad part of the hotel was that I wasn't sure where it was on the island and how to get to it. Turns out there is only one way in to Mont Saint Michel. La Mere Poulard is right inside of it only a few steps from the entrance. While the restaurant was a little pricy, 350Euro for 5 people, the food was excellent. Take note that if you are traveling with anyone who doesn't like or can't climb stairs, do not stay on Mont Saint Michel. Everything is built on a big rock. Hence, you have to climb a lot to get to your room.

7.8

Tutto eccellente ma se cenate nel ristorante dell'albergo tenete conto che i prezzi sono molto elevati in rapporto alla quantità e alla qualità e le specialità del giorno proposte hanno un elevato sovrapprezzo non sempre dichiarato

8.9

This hotel is definitely worth staying at. It is a good quakity for Europe and it has so much history ... plus, you can't beat the location.

8.3

Our room at La Mere Poulard was perfectly fine, the bathroom being unusually spacious for a French hotel. We learned, unfortunately, that Thursday morning is delivery day and thus we were woken very early with considerable noise because our room overlooked the front gate and the tour bus/delivery truck parking. There was very little hotel service to speak of, but this was not a problem. We took the advice of others on this site and elsewhere not to eat in the celebrated restaurant because of a poor quality/price ratio. Overall, as others here have noted, staying overnight on Le Mont St. Michel is a wonderful and magical way to see it. Overall, we had no complaints--other than the noise and that was not the hotel's fault. Because this survey asks about the hotel and venere.com, let me say this is the third hotel I have booked with venere.com and I have been very pleased with the site's service.

9.5

One of my all-time favorite hotels. The ambiance is par excellence! Would love to come back some time

9.8

If you have the chance to stay on Mont St Michel, do it. Being able to walk about at night when the tour groups have gone home is priceless. La Mere Poulard is located in a great spot. The staff were very friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

8.3

Everything fantastic, the hotel, the place, the attention and a special mention to the piano bar.

9.1

The only negative is the 4 floor walkup. Lugging several bags up and down was a bit much. The narrow staircase complicated matters. I understand that this is a historic building, but a lift (even just a dumb-waiter) would be a big improvement.

9.8

La Mere Poulard is the closest accomodation on Mont Saint Michel, which was an advantage to us with 4 suitcases. While the hotel is excellent, it is surpassed by the quality of food at their restaurant. What a feast!

8.9

If you drive to Mont St. Michel, park in the lower lot to the left, go through the gate in the wall to the hotel, immediately on your left as you look up the street. Get an electronic pass for the hotel parking and unload your bags before moving the car to the lot on the causeway. It's the only place to park overnight, because of the tides. The hotel has loads of charm - and steps - and no elevator. Our room was in an annex, up 58 steps and down 9, and there were much higher ones than that. Room was attractive and fairly spacious but had no closet or drawers. The bathroom was NOT charming - very dull lights and only handheld shower in the tub. View was attractive - garden and rooftops. No English language TV. The townspeople vote on what channels to receive. The staff was friendly and happy to speak English, even if you spoke French(!) Dinner in the restaurant was good, but not great, and expensive, as are most things there. Most of the shops carry much the same items & they seem to be slightly cheaper up the hill. Any negatives are easy to ignore, as M-S-M is fabulous and unique. If at all possible, stay on"the rock" - it's worth it.

4.4

The hotel was overpriced for the experience. You're better served to stay off-island. Everyone was very nice, but the room was small, drab, and noisy. The restaurant was also very pricey.

9.2

Enjoyed staying there very much. Would stay there again.

6.8

Any additional services such as breakfast or drinks in hotal bar very very expensive. 6 euro for an orange juice!!! but overall very nice place to stay. Because you are ritht in the middle of the mount it is extremely busy but at night it was dead so you could walk around in peace.

9.3

The room rate was less then listed on hotel wall. When given bill on check-out, the higher rate was listed. Hotel adjusted to the lower rate when I showed them a copy of my reservation. Not sure how this would have been handled if I did not have a copy of the reservation with me at checkout.

7.6

My only complain is that there was not any reservation under my name when I arrived. Even the hotel provide me with accomnodation.

5.2

The bed matress was very worn and sagged considerably as to cause both my wife's back and my back severe pain. I will not recommend this hotel to any of my friends.
