Find the Best Genets Hotels

Magnificent castle experience! Merci to our spectacular hosts @chateaudechantore for their wonderful hospitality!💋Michel surprised me by whisking me away for the long weekend to visit Mont St Michel. Imagine my surprise when I who live “la vie en rose” arrived at a pink château! 💕It was absolutely perfect and decorated, restored and run with so much love by the owners.🌹 Breakfast was exceptional. 🏰 Even better than life with a silver spoon is eating Bernard’s soft Normandy scrambled eggs on a gold Christofle fork. 🦢Lovebirds will feel right at home next to the peacocks and the swans. The gardens are beautifully maintained. Everything about this property is exquisite. 💫 The breakfast table was truly set for a king with so much opulence, thoughtful details and beauty- I can not wait to go back. 👑 If you like New England B & Bs, do yourself a favor and visit this magnificent chateau in France!🇫🇷

This hotel has a great location. The position and evaluation are very good, and the staff are very helpful. When I had a small problem, they quickly solved it and made sure I was completely satisfied.

We stayed in room 308, views from both our windows were INCREDIBLE! We got the evening shuttle bus, which wasn’t too bad. It was full but not overpacked like during the day. The tourist office was east to find who had our key, spoke English so winner. It was very difficult to find out annexe . It was pouring with rain and with two kids in tow and still very busy on the streets , my husband left us in a doorway whilst he went to seek it out. Low and behold he found it and it was not where you think it would be!! Needs better signs 100%. Anyway once we were inside, I mean it’s a very basic , small room. Bathroom is teeny & there’s not enough space to swing a cat however for us it was ideal as all we needed was a bed to sleep in for the night. It was clean , and although it’s pricey it’s definitely not a 5star hotel quality , that was the only downside but most of the hotels seem the higher price on st michel. It was incredibly busy around 5pm so I dread to think what it would be like during the day. But the best time to go is in the evening. The crowds had gone and it was magical. We explored the grounds , had some food at auberge Saint Pierre (it was gross & staff were rude) got some beautiful pictures , and took it all in. We heard what I assume was the nuns singing in the evening and then got woken up at 8am by the bells ringing . Breakfast at the hotel was good, it was all a bit mish mash and seemed disorganised but we got the hang of it in the end and really enjoyed it

The staff was overworked and so difficult to find when needed. It took 15 minutes to find the actual hotel because they closed its primary entrance and redirected entry through one of its partner hotels. After walking around and around and being ignored by a number of the staff, we then had to wait for over 40 minutes for someone to appear at reception to check in. To be fair, once the staff did show up, there were several nice individuals, but I think they were extremely overworked. Because it was so late we opted to eat in one of their restaurants and had the same issue, waiting almost 40 minutes to order and then even longer for the meal to be served. When finally we checked in, to get to the room, one had take our bags we had just brought up back down the stairs, leave the building, mount a second larger stair, walk around the back of the building, go down two flights of stairs, enter another door and then up two more flights of very narrow, circular stairs with all our bags. We were offered no help from the staff. I'm pretty sturdy but still, this was a lot of work. If you're older, I'd say this is just not possible. When we got to the room, it was very tight. I like small spaces, but this was extreme, especially for the price. For my wife to get to the bathroom at night, it was impossible to do without bumping into me and waking me up. The seagulls roosting on the roof right outside the window were insane and did not stop squalling until 2-3 in the morning, and then up again around 5 in the morning. I could have tolerated some of this, but for the price, it was just too much. St. Michel is a spectacular place but so thick with tourists it becomes almost impossible to appreciate. The food is horrible everywhere and one can tell everyone who works there is just tired of dealing with tourists. I would not recommend staying on the island at all, but for anyone who really wants to give it a go I would say so not even think of staying more than 1 day.

We had the most perfect stay here! We booked a ”Bay View Logis” room, which entails walking a ways uphill and up stairs from the hotel itself, which is fairly close to the entrance to the island. They were very open about this on their website so we were expecting it. It was very much worth the walk! The bay view room actually had a large patio, which was so unbelievably special to have. We could look out over the city and watch the tide come in and out. When we look at photos of Mont St-Michel, we can easily spot our patio. The room was quite small but worth it for the patio. There is no air conditioning, which for us meant leaving the windows open at night, which meant being kept up by the incessant squawking of all the gulls. But it was all well worth it to be on Mont St-Michel, and a wonderful experience overall. They will even bring breakfast to your room, which was quite thoughtful considering what a hike it was from the restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Welcome, location, hotel rooms are very satisfactory. Good mattress, bathtub overlooking the not very busy passage. There is nothing to say compared to what was announced, we had a very good night, quiet. The downside is the waiter’s breakfast. Although it was pleasant and tried to finish it as quickly as possible, there was only one person in the restaurant. We entered the second scheduled time around 9:15 in the morning, and there was no more scrambled eggs or hot milk, etc. The quality of the cold cuts is not very high, the bread seems to be from the day before.

It was a room with a view of Mont Saint Michel from the window. The room was nice with a red wall. However, a lot of small insects and flies entered the room.
