Hotel le Mouton Blanc

The hotel’s location is incredibly convenient—right on the island next to the Abbey, which made sightseeing easy. Parking is available just across the bridge, with a general shuttle running every six minutes. Since the area is highly touristic, the shuttle was quite crowded, so we chose to bring only essentials in our backpacks and left our larger bags behind. As the hotel is housed in an older building, the rooms do not have air conditioning. Unfortunately, we visited during an early May heatwave (temperatures in the upper 20s°C), but sleeping with the windows open helped make things more comfortable. One downside was that the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. There is no staff present in the building, so there was no communication or evacuation, which was concerning. Thankfully, it turned out to be a false alarm. Staying on the island proved to be worthwhile. Once the day tourists had left, we were able to enjoy a much quieter and more atmospheric experience exploring the area. Breakfast was included, but unlike much of France, the quality left something to be desired. Overall, the location was ideal for our plans, and we were happy with our choice despite a few shortcomings.

Small but cozy. Recently renovated bathroom. Great central location. Breakfast was awesome. Would recommend

The one thing you have to keep in mind is that the receptionist is at a different location. It seems that one place owns a few in town. The stay was perfect as well as customer service, breakfast and convenience

We came in a bit late and were confused as to where to check in. We got to our room and were able to eat dinner and breakfast the following morning. Given that accommodations on Mont St. Michel are limited, we had a good room and a great experience.

So a few notes about this property: There is no parking at the property. Theres no parking on the island at all. Im not sure why they advertise parking, i find it a bit confusing. If you let them know that you will be parking, they will send you a code for parking lot 3 that can be used once. Lot 3 is the closest civilian lot to the shuttle. There is no discount for parking. As for the facilities: the hotel entrance is under construction and...theres no one at the entrance. For some reason, they do not tell you this. When you arrive at the door to the hotel and cant get in, theres a sign telling you to go back to basically the island entrance and go to a different hotel for check in. Why this isnt explained before you arrive, i have no idea. Breakfast was at another hotel. We didnt go. There was a restaurant/bar attached to the hotel. It was no functioning during our stay. There appeared to be a coffee shop on the 1st floor. The rooms are ok. You will be climbing lots of spiral stairs. The last set of stairs has no handrail and will be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. You get exactly 1 roll of toilet paper and one hand towel. No washclothes. There are no fans, so your ventilation will be the one window: not sure i would visit in summer. This also means the room is noisy (gulls and carts start at around 5 am) and you will have flies in the room. Theres not many restaurants open at night, even if they say they are open. your food options are limited.

The hotel was fine but we had two main issues: 1) They did not tell us in advance that the check-in was at a different location than the address stated on Google maps. So we ended up dragging our bags uphill in the wrong direction initially. In addition, the room assigned to us was at yet another location, neither at the checkin spot nor the address listed on Google maps. Lost a lot of time and effort due to that. It would have been good to clarify this upfront, I might not have booked this hotel in that case because we had two little children and a lot of luggage. 2) Our room lock wasn’t working, so when we tried to leave for dinner after checking into our room, we couldn’t. Someone we couldn’t call the help desk either. My husband had to go back to the reception office (which was far away) and bring someone back to fix it.

I had to go back and reread the prior reviews to see why I selected this hotel. I’m still amazed. We traveled with another couple and they felt the same way. Very very old and not well maintained. The mattress was broken. The bathroom smelled like sewer. When I walked into the lobby, I though uhoh.

Great staff

You stay here for the location on the Mont. We stayed in the family room which was suitable for the 4 of us. The beds were comfortable enough. The full bathroom was larger than we were expecting.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and everyone was very kind. Check-in was a bit confusing since the reception desk wasn’t located at the hotel. Instead, it was near the entrance of the island and shared check-in office for all hotels on the island. The free breakfast was provided at a local restaurant rather than at the hotel. Be sure to check with the staff at the reception office for details.

Check in was really confusing. Had to call beforehand and get a code to park. Sat on hold for 15 minutes to get the code. Arrived at the hotel and door was locked. Called again and was told to go somewhere else to check in. Went to the other hotel to check in and then had to walk a third place to get to the hotel. None of this was disclosed beforehand. Glad I had cell service or I would have been lost. Staff was great, bed was comfortable. Shower is tiny. I’m 6” 175 lbs and I barely had enough room to wash myself.

Beautiful location

Highway robbery for a cubbyhole of a room in which you couldn’t swing a cat on top of which the bathroom smelled of rotten eggs. The check in area was a mystery to find as was the breakfast room (where the scrambled eggs were cold). If they had charged one third of the actual price it would still be overpriced. I understand that space is at a premium in Le Mont St. Michel but that doesn’t excuse lack of quality and price gouging.

The check in location was not clear and it was frustrating to find. The rooms were very small and not really that nice. I was expecting more for the price. However, the location was great and we loved waking up on the island before the other tourists arrived.

This hotel was in a very old bldg on Mont Sainte Michele Island which is very appealing if you're into that, which if you're visiting MSM, you probably are. As expected, the room was very tiny and so was the bathroom. It was odd, as the bed was comfy, the bathroom modern, the carpet and walls seem to have been recently renovated but ...the windows were single pane glass as they used to be in the past for people who could afford windows. Our room had some ripped blinds on the windows that had black mold on them and the windows had a lot of condensation on them in the morning when we woke up. Hence the mold. Neither of us has a mold allergy so we were ok but I would advise anyone with any mold sensitivity to think twice about staying here or really anyplace on the island as I suspect they all have that issue to a greater or lesser degree. The bldg itself seems to be under renovation which is great as it could use it, but the construction crew doesn't seem to see a need to clean up after themselves. Be prepared to climb stairs to get to your room, not good for people with mobility issues. The good part is you can feel the history in the room and indeed in the building, which to my mind is very cool. I feel like I got to be a tiny part of it and was able to reflect on the lives of the people who must have lived and worked there in the past. MSM is so magical that the bad stuff doesn't matter all that much. Would recommend with those caveats.

The office, restaurant and hotel all have different names. Why not have a sign with both names? Bad directions to the annex…said “go to the arch” which was hidden, not over the street. Walking all over trying to find our room while pulling our luggage. No bellman luggage service to help with the multiple stairs and ramps up the mountain. Breakfast was just fair. Other restaurants had nice menus. Room was not very clean and carpet smelled musty.

Was very difficult to find our room, explaination very poor but once we found it, on our own 5 Trips up and down… wished shop open earlier since we stayed at there before tourist buses started kind of disjointing

The best thing about this hotel is that it allowed me to be first in line the next morning to see the abbey. Breakfast was pretty good too.

Nice place. Very old with no updates. Bathroom smelled like mold. Food quality was not that great

It is right off the Main Street into Mont St Michel. It was so convenient to stairs up to the perimeter wall and was very close to the gate so you could see the water or sand very well. Plan for lots of steps. There was no air conditioning and it was buggy due to rain, so we were a little warm. All of the staff were amazing. We did a Demi pension so breakfast and dinner were provided. It was convenient and delicious.
