Hôtel la Croix Blanche

We had to stay to another sister hotel because this particular hotel was apparently closed. The hotel we stayed in was comfortable and staff was friendly and accommodating.

Very nice reception staff at a neighboring hotel as la Croix Blanche was under some renovation/repair at least on ground floor. The circuitous route to get to the room(in the rain) included a outside stairs accessing the ramparts, a short walk along them then a descent and ascent to access the rear entrance to the hotel and finally the forewarned ascent up a few flights to the top floor room. Small room as expected and satisfactory bed and bath. The small windows, indeed, looked out to the tides and was the best aspect of the room in the morning. Did not try breakfast.

We climbed 5 flights of stairs to our room, but with limited space on the island, the room was okay.

It is as pictured! (Most photos are from the back, when you pull up you are in the front.) dinner and services were as ordered, with a smile. While the place is as pretentious as a royal hunting lodge might have been -Except the staff we met we not pretentious at all.

The location on Mont Saint Michel is, of course, very unique. That being said, there were no advance instructions on how to access the property, find the check-in desk nor any assistance whatsoever. We wasted 2 hours trying to figure out parking, access to the island and finding the hotel itself. The room was so noisy during the night hours, that neither my wife nor I could sleep. The bed was uncomfortable and the internet was unusable. The bathroom had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. That is the sole positive note for this property. Recommendation: Visit Mont Saint Michel during the daytime only and stay elsewhere. It is a beautiful place, but a tourist trap nonetheless. Loud, cramped, rude and extremely expensive.

The best location inside Mont Saint Michel, ideal to stay one night and enjoy the mini roads.

View of the Abbey from the room was amazing. Also, wake up at the Mont - Saint Michel was a great experience

This location is on Mont St Michel and was wonderful. We had a 3 person room (only 2 of us) and it had great views of the bay through several windows. It was a two story room with beds up and bath down. Also it was a four story climb to the room, no elevator. This did not bother us at all, but it might be a problem for some travelers. However if you go to Mont St Michel it’s on a 300 foot high rock and it is all up and down stairs and ramps. This hotel is on the Main Street soon after you arrive. The parking is at a lot far from the island, but there are free shuttle buses to get you to the island. You park in lot 3, which is reserved for those staying in this hotel. Be advised- the hotel does not pay your parking, even though some websites say it does. The cost is 14 euros per day. You have to push a button when arriving at the parking to contact the hotel before the gate will open. Mont St Michel is a high cost not very customer friendly place, but beautiful and certain worth the visit. All the restaurants and businesses know you are captive on the island and charge accordingly. Many of the restaurants close at odd times so eating was a bit of a challenge in the evenings. But, we would stay in this hotel again. The price was quite high for the room, but there is limited space on the island. We believe you need just one night’s stay to see all the island has to offer, as it’s not very big.

We had a comfortable stay at the hotel. Being our first time at Mont St-Michel, we were unaware that cars are not allowed on the tiny island. The hotel didn't communicate this so we were confused about parking and taking the shuttle over. Also it's good we didn't have a lot of luggage because there's a decent amount of walking to get to the hotel and plenty of steps to get to your room They also didn't tell us that we had to check in at a completely different named hotel next door until I called them directly on day of check in due to the confusion.

When you need to walk down your four flights and then up another to check out its hard. When the restaurant is full of tour groups seing who can be the loudest, its not fun. The entrance to the hotel in back was brutal to find in the dark.
