La Vieille Auberge

If you are going to Mont St. Michel and can afford to spend a night here, do it. Way too crowded during the day, but once 6pm rolls around, the streets belong to you. Just remember to book your restaurants in advance as everything closes early here. The hotel rooms were much better than we were led to believe from other reviews. The price is high, but worth it for a once in a lifetime experience. Note to summer travellers: they light up Mont St. Michel Monday night to Saturday Night, so if you want to see that, don't book Sunday like we did. Still a great experience though.

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here. We had wanted to come to Mont Saint Michel for a very long time. It was pretty amazing to stay in medieval village. While it’s heavily populated during the day after 6 PM, the island has very few people left on it. It felt magical. The room itself was well appointed. It had all the amenities that one needs. The window that looked out over the village and across the water Was in the bathroom, which was a bit unusual, but still was a breathtaking view. The restaurant where we checked in held our bags until the room was available in a secured room. That was very helpful. The sound of the seagulls in the morning felt a bit otherworldly. I highly recommend this accommodation!

We had a room seperate from the main hotel which probably worked well as we had a great balcony with excellent view. Breakfast good and staff friendly and helpful. Glad we stayed on the Island itself as makes a big difference when the crowds leave and you can walk around the streets and Abbey with very few people around. Parking was easy enough with the camper van which is right next to the bus stop that takes you to the Island. You do have to request parking at least a day before the visit to enable them to provide a passcode to access Car Park 3.

The hotel has an excellent location, easy access to the city's main tourist attractions, restaurants and bars. Right decision to sleep inside on Monte Sint Michel and unravel your paths at night with the city empty of tourists, I highly recommend it! Great bed, new bathroom facilities, excellent shower - hot and good pressure. Service at reception was warm and friendly. It far exceeded our expectations.

Location and view (paid extra for sea view room) were excellent!! Reviews say room is tricky to find; it would have been first time..but hotel has noted that and had someone take us to our room on arrival without us having to ask. Easy to find once we'd got orientated. Literally at the foot of The Abbey. Beds were very comfy. Seagulls started early but that added to knowing we were right by the sea! Our 16&18 year old kids were blown away by the location and view - if you can impress them you've done well. Upon checkout, the bar staff were very accommodating and filled all our water bottles with lovely fresh water too. Thank you. Pricey, but a once in a long while experience. We would do it again some day. Great to stay on the island to get the night visit in for the abbey and leave the island as the masses and masses arrive on the buses and by foot. Merci!
