We had a wonderful stay here in Hotel Vert. Excellent and convenient location, just a 3 minute walk from the bus stop(we came from Rennes). Grocery store and restaurants are beside the hotel. Free shuttle bus to/from MSM is just in front of the hotel. Staff are nice,friendly and helpful. The room was sparkling clean. I would recommend this place to my family and friends, and we will definitely stay in this hotel when we visit MSM in the future!

Wonderful staff, beautiful chateau. But...prices higher than Paris. Room needs significant renovation. Worse, everything is over-charged. A coffee? 6 euros. A simple salad for lunch? 54€ for two. Use a semi-broken bike (no shifter!)? 15€ for one hour. Spa is similar-lovely space, terrible massage...plus it was for one hour and the very inexperienced young masseuse only gave 45 minutes. The cuisine is quite good, but again, much too expensive (half the plates have 20€ supplements for the demi-pension hotel guests. Wine is very over-priced too. Could be a fantastic place!

We had a short break away for 3 nights. Great value for money. Arrived late - no places to eat or drink locally - another short drive and urrrgggh we found McDonalds - desperate and hungry at 11pm it was closed and drive through only. there are take away menus in the foyer but again junk food! disappointing options. Struggled to get in through the front door, we were not given an access code by Agoda booking!!! So tailgated to find another couple with details for the safe, so unlocked it - our keys weren't there - no night staff ! tried the other safe after several attempts and found keys. Room basic, tidy but looks dated There is no cooker ! Micro wave and two hobs, strange mini dishwasher, and a fridge. Small bathroom but practical and clean with fresh towels The bed was especially comfortable and big - good rest, pillows are weird sure things and if you ask reception they will arrange for the housekeeper to upgrade to better version of pillows. stay again ?- yes

If you want to spend your time in a fancy hotel this is not for you. But if you want to visit and explore the surrounding area and crash at the end of the day in a comfortable bed and in a clean albeit smallish room then this does a great job. You can have breakfast onsite - we didnt as we were meeting family, but the smells coming from breakfast room were lovely. You are right next door to McDonalds, e.leclerc and carrefour and Buffalo grill so you wont starve - you dont even need to drive to them.

We enjoyed our stay at La Mère Poulard on Mont Saint-Michel, despite the fact that we had to walk up 4 flights of stairs to our room because there are no elevators/lifts in this hotel. I would NOT want them to alter the hotel in any way as that would take away from the ambience and the authenticity of the place. Our room was small, but spotlessly clean, and looked over the causeway leading to the Mont, so we had a great view of the plaza and the tides coming and going. There were robes and slippers on offer, plenty of hot water in the bath, and a mini fridge stocked with drinks, both soft and alcoholic. Pricy, but where isn't it? A Complimentary bottle of water and local Normandy biscuits with apple was also waiting for us. There are coffee making facilities in the room also. All rooms are on the 3rd and 4th floors (restaurant is on the 2nd) so if you cannot manage stairs, this hotel is not for you, but then you would not be able to walk around the Mount either! If you have a room overlooking the causeway, expect morning noises from lorries arriving from the mainland to bring supplies to the Mount - this goes with the territory, so we weren't bothered. Breakfast was generous and delicious. We did not try the famous Mère Poulard omelet... :-( We loved our stay and would not hesitate to return here.

The location is the best and the room with balcony and the view of the St. Michel is great. I brought my mom here in April for fullfilling her dream and booked this room so that she could see the view day and night and it served the purpose well. Moreover, the room is grand and bedroom is upstairs. I like that there is a bathrobe. The house slippers/shoes can be requested at the front desk. A minor con is that there were very limited coffee and tea provided ( There were only 2 each and for the price of the room, there should be more than that for guests to select or drink more than a cup of coffee for each person.) No free mini bar (if comparing to the same level/standard with other hotels).

The hotel is beautiful and check in front desk staff very accomodating. I locked our passports and apartment keys in a pouch in the room safe, forgot to retrieve and called the hotel at about 10:30 pm to ask if the pouch was found. I was told they would have to let me know in the morning; housekeeping was closed. I was extremely worried about our passports safety and would have thought the hotel would have contacted me as soon as they found them. I would have zipped over to fetch right away. Instead we had to stay in a Paris hotel for 150 EU that night because we were locked out of our apartment and also pay 250 EU for the pouch to be sent via same day DHL. Needed keys and passports ASAP. Frustration and 400 EU would have been saved if I was notified immediately that the hotel found my pouch when they cleaned the room after noon on May 26th.

The hotel is close to the entrance of the main island and just a couple of steps up to get into the lobby. We were given room 105 which was at the 1st level, so it was a short flight of stairs to get in the room. Room didn’t have a view but that’s okay as we came back late at night after exploring Mont st Michel with fewer people. Woke up early to see the sunrise and it was very nice, quiet and peaceful. Waking up early before the 1st bus arrives was worth it as I got to experience the island more intimately and appreciate it more in the early quiet morning. Worth staying in the island for the night. The room included breakfast and it was good/decent selection in a place that felt old but posh and it also had a view! I’m happy I stayed in this hotel and in the island for a night!

a lovely property set at port en bessin, which is a great base to explore the normandy beaches and do your requisite day trip to pont st michel which is about a 2 hour drive away. the emotive amercian cemetery is also a 15 minute drive from the hotel - we thought we would spend 30 mins there but spent almost 2 hours as it deserved the time. we only had one night here unfortunately due to limited time, but we enjoyed the privateness of the place, as well as the lovely homely rooms. we fully recommend this place.

We stayed at the hotel recently for two nights and it was a perfect location from which to visit many of the local WWII sites and museums, as well as visit the lovely town of Bayeux and the Tapestry Museum. The staff could not have been more accommodating and Frederick and Caroline are two that deserve special notice for their warmth and attention. Caroline recommended and made a reservation for dinner for us at our favorite restaurant of our entire trip (Le Pommier) and she and Frederick provided conversation and wonderful service for a late night nightcap both nights of our stay. Breakfast is not included, but is available and was quite lovely and extensive, with both hot and cold items, served in the wonderfully restored dining areas. Entering the hotel gateway from the main street is quite impressive. Parking is ample and included. Our room was large, bed comfortable, and the bathroom was quite spacious, with a large walk-in shower. Old world charm, modern amenities.

This is a modern, mid range / budget hotel, about a 30 minute walk out of Deauville in pleasant surroundings near the racecourse. The hotel room was clean, well decorated, and with reasonable hanging / storage space. The bed was large and comfortable and with the quiet surroundings, gave a good night's sleep. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. My only negative comment was that there was only one chair in the room. The hotel has a restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and a bar with inside and outside seating. Breakfasts were fine, except that there was a shortage of bread on one morning. The staff performed well, and check-in and out were both handled efficiently.

Hotel clean, linen good while towels were a little thin. Secure parking and staff were really good, slightly harassed trying to do too much. Breakfast was a riot, you weren’t really sure if you would get any. Fruit basket breeding it’s own penicillin, egg boiler not turned and when they remembered to, they used cold water. After 25 mins all 6 eggs were still at room temperature. Great time had by all, we really enjoyed it, but it was shambollic at best.

Hotel was lovely with lots of character and charm (be warned not good for elderly or disabled travellers as there is only lift access to parts of the hotel). Reception staff were very warm and welcoming. A little disappointing that breakfast is not included but, that seems to be a thing in France. Street has a fantastic location right on the Main Street surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants. Easily accessible by car from Bayeux or Mont St Michel.

Although the rooms are a little tired, they are perfectly alright. The following pros make up for this: You can park right outside the rooms, dogs are allowed, it's just off the motorway and rooms are quiet. Options for dinner are the campanile restaurant, the Courtepaille up the road or the pizza place across the roundabout. For breakfast, if all you want is a croissant, go to the Carrefour down the road.

The decor is tired, the staff are bored, and the rooms need a deep clean. But the location is just perfect, on the harbour and as central as you can get. They offer secure parking but there is a public carpark (pay and display) just across the street which is actually a little cheaper. Also the hotel parking is a good 500m walk away (up hill!) so unless the security issue is important to you. don't bother.
