Le Relais du Roy is a mid-range hotel on Le
Couesnon River that's a three-minute drive south of Mont Saint-Michel. Shops
and restaurants are within walking distance and the on-site restaurant serves
local French-style meals all day long. Rooms are mostly small, and the simple traditional decor is slightly dated, but some have beautiful views and balconies. Bathrooms are
a bit more stylish and include basic amenities. Room service is available but only during certain hours, and the property has no elevators or
air-conditioning.

Scene
A mid-range hotel on the river with both modern and outdated elements
Dated, blue sponge-painted wallpaper and
older light-wood furnishings adorn the large lobby and set the tone for the
hotel. A slightly updated seating area flanks an out-of-place tree along with
an angelic statue and tourist information. Striped purple wallpaper in the dim
hallways looks washed out and modern tan carpets don’t add much to spruce up
the design. The on-site restaurant is somewhat updated with contemporary
curtains, light fixtures, and chairs, but the old flooring strongly detracts
from the pleasant decorations. Antique wood beams, stonework, and a fireplace add
classic charm while the restaurant’s outdoor area has standard tables and
chairs. La Relais does not have air-conditioning or an elevator, but it's still
more modern than some of the other hotels in the area.
Location
On Le Couesnon River with free shuttle to Mont Saint-Michel
Le Relais is on Le Couesnon River, with the
small island of Le Mont Saint-Michel a three-minute drive north; getting
to Alligator Bay to the south takes the same amount of time. Shops and
restaurants are within walking distance and there’s free shuttle service to the island within the immediate vicinity. St. Gervais Basilica, Mont-Dol,
and Dol Cathedral are all about a 25-minute drive from the property. A rental car is necessary if you plan on seeing any sights beyond Mont
Saint-Michel attractions.
Rooms
Simple rooms with traditional style
The overall design
is simple and traditional, with red carpets, gray damask wallpaper, and blond-wood furniture
being the norm. Most guest units lack square footage and many guests remark
that moving around the beds is tight. Each room has a coffeemaker, flat-screen
TV, hairdryer, and daily newspaper, and there are reading lights attached to
the headboard. Some of the rooms have wonderful views of the island and river
from their balconies while others suffer loud street noise. Fans are available
in the summertime, and bathrooms include a few amenities and slightly updated
tile work.
Features
Well-reviewed on-site restaurant along with room and concierge services
The on-site
restaurant at Le Relais serves local French specialties for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, and receives mostly positive reviews. The hotel also houses a
bar/lounge area. Concierge service, limited room service, and laundry facilities are on hand as well in addition
to six meeting rooms and a gift shop. On-site parking is available for a fee. Free Wi-Fi is also available and the property is pet-friendly.
