Hôtel la Croix Blanche

Rooms were clean. Staff friendly, helpful and efficient. Stairs were difficult but we were warned in advance. Location perfect for Mont St Michel

Staff were very good and always accommodating. Position absolutely ideal with a panoramic view over the bay. We had no problems whatsoever.

Fantastic

This is a quaint hotel but be sure you know which floor your room is on when booking. Ours were fourth floor with a long route to get there and a spiral staircase. Take a backpack for a short stay instead of a suitcase.

Great experience

Very old hotel. No elevator and you have to go up to a spiral narrow stairs. If you check in past 6 pm, you’ll have to check in with the sister hotel Auberg St Pierre. So many stairs to take from there. Don’t bring any luggage at all. Just backpack. Also not suitable for kids.

Arrived at Mont St. Michel at around 10pm, we called twice to get the code to lift the gate in the parking area on the main land as the first code given didn't work. We walked in with just small backpacks and were shown our room. The rooms were clean and nice but nothing special. Our room was bayview, on the top floor. We room was hot when we arrived because it was a warm day and the windows were all closed. It didn't take long to cool down from the ocean breeze once the windows were opened. We have a great nights sleep except the annoying seagulls woke us up at the crack of dawn. The empty streets of MSM at 6:30am are worth every penny. We'd stay again if we ever went back.

We had a great view of the Abbey at Mont St Michel directly out our window. I liked that the toilet and shower were in separate rooms. The hotel staff seemed a little surprised when I asked for additional towels. One towel looked like it had dried bird poop on it. Going to a different property to check out was different. Overall, I loved the experience of being on the rock for the night. If you're looking for modern conveniences and fancy digs, you won't find it here and that's fine. The view and history were worth it.

As long as you have the right expectations, this hotel and its rooms will be fine for an overnight stay. Yes, you need to go up a narrow staircase, yes, the rooms are pretty small. But this is an old building and it served us fine. The shower has surprisingly good pressure and it was clean. They communicated well and also let us stash our bags after checkout so we can roam without our bags.(we only had one large backpack) Just wish we had a view and they gave at least a few bottles of complimentary water (there were 3 in the refrigerator but weren't complimentary)! :)

Although Mont St Michel was experiencing a heat wave, we were only offered a tiny fan to provide any relief. It was a clip-on fan. The west-facing room was miserable. I know they can’t control the weather but do better by offering something more than a clip on fan that doesn’t stay upright and is covered in some sort of grease. The shower was the best thing about the room.
