    Major disappointment was the unstable wifi, sometimes doesn’t work. Expect better from a hotel.

    For those who don’t want to rush Mont St.Michel in a day trip from Paris, this is an affordable option compared to staying in Mont St.Michel village. Great location, right opposite from train station and bus stop. But when I went, bus to/from St.Michel run only between 9am-6pm. That gave me only a few more hours more than day trippers, but still good. Room was quite small but nice.

    Power sockets, they were kinda weird, you couldn’t just put the plug in, you had to kinda rotate it or something like that, I don really know how it worked out.

    The rooms are old, but cozy. Clean.

    For a 2 stars hotel I think is expensive. We had almost no wifi. We had a room for 4p, located in another building at the other side of the train rail. The floor of the building is made out of wood and whenever someone walk outside or inside the other rooms you could hear the noise of the floor.

    The staff is very nice and gentle. The breakfast was good and inexpensive. There is cleaning service every day.

    No complaints.

    I got moved over to their sister hotel which was nicer as this one was shut down due to not being very busy yet for the summer, the room at the other spot was amazing very clean the Wi-Fi was fast and spotless bathroom. It's also literally next to the train station which is why I stayed there.

    Lack of security - with our key we were able to open other guests’ rooms & the entrance door to the hotel is always open even though we have a pin to unlock the door we don’t need to use it. Dismissive atitude of staff - when we brought the issue to the manager he disregarded the problem, he just told us we shouldn’t have used our key in another room, obviously we didn’t do it on purpose we were just mistaken about the room number. When we said we were worried about the security of our room the manager just said “I will talk to the director” in a dismissive way

    No air conditioning, so it was hard to sleep in the heat. A trash can would be a plus.

    Next to the train station, shops and restaurants.

    An acceptable plan B.

    I had a second story (first floor) room that over looked a railroad crossing and a rail station! (That said, I slept through the night.) The shower curtain was not long enough to meet the bottom of the shower, so water all over the floor. Water pressure a little low in the sink, thought fine in the shower. Bathroom mirror low enough that I had to stoop to see if I combed my hair the right way.

    I liked that I was able to book a room at the absolute last minute. As in book, travel less than 1Km and check in. Staff was friendly and accommodating. They had enough English to compensate for my lack of French. Breakfast in the morning was very satisfactory. Check in and Check out were a breeze. They also let me leave a couple of bags there for a day which was a life saver. Free parking for my moto just across the street in a city lot. My single window opened wide to let the fresh air in. WIFI was fine.

    The room and bathroom were tiny, which was a bit stressful for a family of four. It was advertised as a family room but was not really big enough.

    It's a good place to visit Mont St Michel. A publiccar park is opposite to the hotel, and it takes you about 10 minutes to got to the car park at the Mont. You also may choose to use public transport to get there (there is a direct bus connection. It helps save money at the Mont St Michel car paqrk (ca. 6 hours will cost you € 28.) A good supermarket is also 5 minutes by car away.

    Two of the electrical outlets were blocked and we couldn't charge our phones. The internet would connect when we stood at the door. The internet connection would disconnect as we moved away from the door. There was no place to put shampoo in the bathroom.

    It was near Mont Saint Michel and had free parking.
