Spa Ranolien

Everything you need. Not 5 star, but very good for its price.

Yes, it's one of the few hotels on mont saint michel and obviously you are paying extra for that location. I booked this room so I could stay on the island in the evening and early morning without the crowds, which worked great. I did not expect much else since the whole place is full of crappy souvenir shops and low effort restaurants. It makes sense because most people visit once in their life so there is no expectation of repeat customers anyway, and the same goes for hotels so I expected it to be pretty bad. The room was a bit worn (paint falling off the door, loose tiles in the bathroom) but clean, and one of the biggest rooms I've seen in France so far (my room was in the annex building Maison Rouge) and it had a bathtub as well. Breakfast was pretty average but at least it was included in the price instead of gouging people for another 20 or so. Obviously you could get a lot more luxury for the same I price elsewhere, but elsewhere is not on mont saint Michel.
