This is not for anyone with problems climbing stairs or needing a lot of luxury. It has a lot of history and is reminiscent of the way basic French hotels operated 40 years ago. Pack a very light overnight bag as you will have to carry it a long way and up flights of stairs. The reviews are accurate but... More

Visiting Mont-St-Michel early in the morning is admittedly quite magical, but our experience at the La Mere Poulard was less than pleasant. While we expected the property to be old and quirky, what we didn't anticipate was rudeness from the staff and filthy conditions. The carpeting in the hallways was utterly horrifying as was the large stain in the center... More

OVERALL - We stayed one night at the Mere Poulard. The hotel is the closest one to the island's entrance, and our room was very nice. It was large by US standards (especially so by French standards), was nicely furnished, had a small fridge and had 2 large windows onto the Grande Rue. The staff was friendly and spoke good... More

My husband and I recently travelled to France, where the entire trip was lovely except the experience at La Mere Poulard. We had booked a room throught Expedia in April and had received a confirmation from Expedia 4 days prior to arrival. We only decided to visit this location because we were able to stay right there and enjoy all... More

Very good location if you want to stay overnight, there are less tourist early in the morning and late in The afternoon. The dinner was very good but the rooms are shocking, we where straight above 24/7 refrigeration compressors, it appears that the hotel is living on it's past glory To make it worse the next day my wife left...

La Mere Poulard has one thing going for it. The restaurant is excellent and not overpriced. We checked into the hotel and they said we are on the 3rd floor but the 3rd floor is 3 flights up and they did not mention they had a porter so we carried our luggage up. The room was tiny, poorly furnished and... More

La Mere Poulard has a great deal of history behind it. Just looking at the signed photographs of famous people throughout the hotel reminds you of all of those who have been there before you. You have to remember this when you are setting your expectations for the room. First of all, watch your luggage size and weight. We packed... More

The only reason we stayed at this hotel is because my husband wanted to stay overnight on the island of Mont St. Michel and see it after the swarms of tourists had left for the day. The hotel was not very comfortable, not very clean and very expensive. It clearly has all the signs of too much traffic. The housekeeping... More

The location is unbeatable but at a high price. Hotel is dirty; carpets in the room are very old and dirty. Handrail to climb up and down it's 4 stories is sticky. No bell service available so you have to carry your luggage. More
