Le Mouton Blanc

Hotel Le Mouton Blanc is wonderfully located half way up the cobbled street on Le Mont Saint Michel. It is an old place with charm and character. We were requested to check in near the gate entrance at another Hotel and then directed to our hotel by the friendly check in staff. We had read reviews about it being a difficult place to find so we had actually been for an earlier walk to see where it was without the baggage. This was worth doing because the way finding is not great and the directions are not very detailed. |There were workman on the steps to the entrance when we arrived at Hotel Le Mouton Blanc. Their barrows, some large stones and bags of concrete had to be moved so we could squeeze past them down to the front door. |Entry is by typing a code onto a keypad. The door is a little glitchy but we worked it out. We spent the night helping others get in and out too. The room, although quite dark, was a really good size and a small window looked out onto the street. It was lovely to look out onto the street and watch the people. |The beds were reasonably comfortable although the double was a little saggy so we used the singles. |The bathroom had been recently renovated and looked lovely. We had to climb into quite a high bath (above my knee height - and I am quite tall) so if you have back or leg injuries or you are elderly, for your safety I would recommend you request a room with a shower. I had a late shower in the evening after dinner, before bed (around 23h00), there is no exhaust fan and the steam set the fire alarm off (embarrassing), so when you shower don't leave the bathroom door open because it will set off the fire alarm! |The room was clean and tidy. There are no tea and coffee making facilities in the room and none in the hotel either, which is a shame. |Of course, being an old building, the sound travels so I heard the whole conversation of the lady on the phone next door like she was in the room, we heard the young people laughing and enjoying themselves upstairs, the elderly couple having their serious conversation and absolutely everyone, and their bags bumping up and down the stairs trying to find their rooms. We also heard, at 6am each morning, the banging of the trolleys as the workers pushed stock up to the restaurants and retailers. Lucky we are reasonably early risers so it didn't bother us too much! |Breakfast was at a restaurant a few doors up the hill. On day 1 it was lovely. The staff welcomed us with warm smiles and friendly chats and directions and the food was ok. The second day staff member was quite rude to several people. When they asked questions he put them down quite loudly. He was rude and surly. He did not smile and he was not at all friendly or helpful. There was not as much food variety. Only one type of meat and one type of cheese. The fruit salad bowl was half empty. He got annoyed when an elderly man asked how to cook the eggs because he had never seen an egg boiler like that before. It was a shame because the lady the day before was so very nice and friendly and helpful.|Le Mont Saint Michel is an absolutely amazing place and, in spite of the negatives I have written about the Hotel Le Mouton Blanc, the rock is well worth the visit. I heard from others in other places that each hotel has its issues and they are apparently almost all owned by the same company anyway (this I read, so not evidence based). |Hotel Le Mouton Blanc was half the price of the other places, which is why we chose to stay there knowing there were likely going to be a few things we would not love. In spite of the noise and the other issues we really enjoyed our stay. A big shout out to the wonderfully patient reception staff down the road who had to deal with severe very rude and pushy guests while we were waiting in the queue.

Très cher pour les prestations!! moquette au mur et sol à bannir pour les allergiques
Salle de bain étriquée ,!radiateur au dessus des toilettes peu pratique , fenêtres qui ferment mal, mobilier de mauvaise qualité
Seul point positif linge de lit et de toilette très propre petit dej au top et personnel très sympa

Très bonne ambiance et bon service

The rooms are hot boxes and will heat up to 80 degrees just with two people unpacking. Not even when its summer. Your only choice is to open a window and then u could very well come back an hour later with pigeon crap all over your bed. This is what happened to us. I realize the folks who run this place cannot control pigeons. That said they can either install screens or air conditioning. To be fair, traveling in Europe comes with some discomfort. But this was beyond the pail. We left, and by the way were not offered a refund or discount.

La habitación extremadamente pequeña y la moqueta sucia. En el baño apenas te puedes mover. No se corresponde con el precio que piden para nada. Nada recomendable.
Una de las habitaciones de nuestros amigos tenía la papelera llena de basura, fue a reclamar y le dieron una bolsa de basura!
