we knew there would be crowds - so we wanted to see it at night. arriving at 10:30pm, we found our room (finally) and took off to explore with a bottle of wine, a baguette, some cheese and dried meats - and had a glorious experience with not another soul about . . . wandered til 2:30 am and got spectacular photographs and had a wonderful time. got up at 8:30, had cafe & crepes, and left the isle at about 10:30 just as the masses began to arrive. trust me - do it like this . . .

Beautiful place to visit steeped in history but extremely crowded all day long. Only quiet and empty at night but everything is shut then very early and difficult to find a place to eat. The car park is extremely expensive and dreadfully overpriced. I paid €34 for overnight stay in a disabled Car park for which I had a blue Badge. Thought this was exorbitant and a terrible rip-off! However, there is no choice because shuttle bus is so far away from the Mount.

Great to spend the evening on Mont st Michel but aim to arrive by 7pm to enjoy a meal before all the restaurants close. You can look around the island once all the day tourists have gone home.
I recommend getting to the Abbey when it opens, or just after, agsin to get ahead of day trippers.
One night on the island is sufficient.
You need to be mobile. Steps too steep for wheelchairs and push chairs.

Really interesting to get to understand the history, and learn of the building of the monastery...just a great place to visit all round, do suggest that you take the tour with audio as this enhances the experience

Awesome MSM!
Awesome MSM! Lots of people, very hot and lots of steps but very rewarding when you get to the Abbey. Fun shopping, and good restaurants. Avoid summer time that's for sure.
A "must" to eat lamb of salted meadow from Le Pre Sale restaurant. Very authentic, delicious and good presentation.
Shuttle service is a plus, you can visit anytime till 11:00pm.

Mont Saint Michel is an iconic monument in France.
Mont Saint Michel is an iconic monument in France. It is not easy to get to by public transport and if you have a car you will have to park on the mainland and walk, or take the shuttle to the island. But it is well worth it. Try to time a visit for early morning (Abbey opens at 9h30) before it gets too crowded.

Explore guest reviews of hotels in Le Mont Saint Michel
Excellent location near Mont Saint-Michel. It's not located on the island but within 25 minute walking distance or a quick ride on the free shuttle. The hotel is around various other hotels, restaurants, and shops. The restaurant at the hotel was very convenient and our 2nd meal at the property was very good (1st meal was okay). The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Staff even helped book a reservation at check-in to ensure we had dinner. Note that everything in the area closes early.
The hotel has a very excellent location.
Very close to the 'saint-michel'
The hotel can be very very proud for his staff . because they make this hotel to what it is .
There was plenty of place to park your car near the hotel .
( 9€80 each day isn't cheap, but it's a regular price you pay when you would visit 'saint-michel' on any other location too )
We were here with our little dog .
And we were very happy he could join us to this place .
We stayed at the hotel one night. The location, right near the Mont Saint Michel is exceptional. There is a free shuttle that runs every couple of minutes stopping right in front of the hotel. You can park in front of the hotel.
The morning breakfast was very good. The facilities were great and clean. The beds very comfortable, overall very silent. Loved it!
Right on the island of Mt Saint Michel…..one of the few hotels there. Accommodations were fine, small, but that was expected. Staff was great. Restaurant adequate. Breakfast excellent. It was expensive for one night, but that too was expected because of where we were. It was magical spending the night on Mt. Saint Michel!
Both breakfast and dinner were very successful. The choice was many and delicious. The hotel has a comfortable parking space, the view of Le Mont Saint Michel, easy access to the shuttle, and the comfort and convenience of the rooms were very successful. I definitely recommend it.
The location is superb. Staying overnight on the island is wonderful, especially in the absence of loads of tourists, thanks to Covid and the winter season. Experiencing the unique quiet and mediaeval mystique in the early morning is priceless. The hotel is good value for money
Stunning location and the best on the island for sure. Literally steps away from the main shops and street but peaceful and quiet. Incredible view of Abbey above and sea the other way.
Great to stay on the island of Mont St Michel; walks around the town in the early morning, evening, and night were quiet and magical. Good quality breakfast buffet available.
Convenient location to get to Mont Ste-Michell. The room was comfortable. There are a few restaurants nearby, but make your reservations for dinner as soon as you can.
