Scene
A modern hotel near the island of Mont Saint-Michel
Unlike many other establishments in the
area, Hotel Gabriel is vibrant and has a youthful atmosphere. Vivid blues and oranges adorn the walls and multi-colored, comfortable
furniture decorates the lobby. Clear plastic chandeliers and interesting lamps
make the area luminous and inviting while the front desk, hued in blue and
backed by a flat-screen TV, has a contemporary, welcoming feel. The colorful
breakfast room combines wood and plastic furniture for a trendy look,
and the artwork is upbeat and unusual for the city. Hallways can be a bit dim,
but overall the property is airy and bright. Keep in mind that the Gabriel does
not have air-conditioning or elevators, and stairs can be steep.
Location
Within walking distance of shops and restaurants
The Gabriel resides on the quiet Le Couesnon
River and is a short drive or free shuttle ride north to the island of Mont
Saint-Michel, with the shuttle stop found across the street. The hotel’s within
walking distance of an array of shops, restaurants, and tourist sights, while
St. Gervais Basilica, Mont-Dol, and Dol Cathedral are all a 25-minute drive
away. A rental car is necessary for guests who want to see the sights beyond the island’s
main attractions.
Rooms
Fresh and unique design -- and sleep up to five people
Paisley
carpets, modern artwork, and blue and orange accents decorate the quiet rooms
at the Gabriel. Beds are covered in fresh white linens while the orange
headboards have magnetic, movable reading lights for style and convenience. Rooms
are well-organized and take advantage of all useful space while being funky and distinct, like the overall atmosphere of
the hotel. Coffeemakers,
flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary newspapers are also included along with tiny desks and contemporary purple chairs. All bathrooms are
stylish and clean with orange showerheads, wood-type tiling, and white
counter tops and sinks. Some rooms have walk-in showers while others have tubs. Note that the rooms aren't air-conditioned. The largest rooms sleep five people.
Features
Free breakfast and Wi-Fi, though there's a fee for parking
Amenities
are generally limited at the Gabriel, though some perks are offered. The hotel
offers concierge services in addition to on-site parking, but the parking costs
a daily fee and you need a code initially or you’ll be locked out. Free Wi-Fi
is available as well, but the signal is weak in many places. The free breakfast
receives high marks and there’s a small business center with a computer
and tiny desk. In addition to being pet-friendly, the Gabriel is associated
with Restaurant La Rôtisserie, a one-minute walk from the hotel. The eatery serves lunch and dinner from April to mid-November.
