“Highly recommended if you are planning a short trip to Mont saint michel. It was a quiet, family-friendly place. The Manager/caretaker of the facility was especially helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the stay. He was always available, provided all the necessary information, answered all my questions patiently, and made the overall experience very comfortable and pleasant. PS: You can get good suggestions for your next travel location in France from him.”
“My stay was so comfortable! The staff was so helpful and friendly. It was my solo trip and I really wanted to see Mont saint michel. The staff was kind and sweet..they helped me out to understand the local transport and timing. Railway station is at the walking distance! It was a comfortable stay!”
“I stayed here for a Sunday evening, and had a fantastic experience thanks to the staff. The dorm room was clean and beds comfortable and the staff were very helpful, including letting me store my luggage in reception for a few hours on the day of check out. Would definitely come again.”
“A great hostel experience while visiting Mont Saint-Michel. Very clean room+toilet and walking distance to the train station. Towel is provided. The host is super nice!! Wow. Check-in starts from 5pm.”
“Extremely friendly host, and the area is clean and well maintained. The beds are really comfy with good amount of privacy, and the outdoor area is also chic and clean, perfect for reading outdoors in the sun. Breakfast for €5.50 is worth it considering the price of food in the area. Great location too. One thing to note is that men and women share the same toilet.”
“I stayed with my family—two adults and three children—and we had a wonderful experience. The room was appropriately sized for our needs, as we were only using it to sleep and shower. The bathroom was excellent and appeared to have been recently renovated. Everything was exceptionally clean. The beds were extremely comfortable; in fact, the children were eager to return. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a spacious common area where breakfast is served, and guests can use a fully equipped kitchen to prepare their own meals or store food in the refrigerator. They also provide complimentary access to a pool table and table football, which was a great bonus. The only downside was that we were unable to stream a single episode of a show in the room due to connectivity issues. That said, if we return to the area, we would certainly stay here again, as it truly felt like home. One of the best hostels we’ve come across. Plus, bed linens, towels, and duvets are included in the stay.”
“I recomend this place for staying, it was very clean, rooms very pretty, location very great at the entrance of portonson, i sleep very comfortable and warm in the rainy night and the owner is a good french person. 4 months ago I visited Mt. Saint Michel and booked a night in this hostel, after an all day walk I got my phone at 0 battery, I went really late at the hostel and it was closed already, some people passed by and help me call the number. The owner came to the hostel, and help me out with my reservation problems, i made a mistake on the dates of the reservation, I will never forget his help and good hearth, its a late review but better than never. Please before you book remember that sometimes agoda changes the dates on reservations, so double check your dates so you dont make same mistake than me.”
“I had such a great stay here! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the hostel is only a 15-minute walk from the train station. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. I stayed in one big dorm room with several beds, and I actually met people here with whom I continued traveling afterwards. Which is something I really appreciate about smaller, more personal hostels. The staff were kind and helpful and giving tips about visiting Mont Saint-Michel as well as other nearby villages and sights. There’s also a bike available that guests can borrow, plus a shared kitchen and a spacious communal area. Honestly, nothing to complain about. Thank you for such a lovely stay!”
