Our team had to stay for a business trip at the Mercure for one night. it was our second time there and once again we were welcomed wonderfully, the staff is so friendly and willing to help - concrete example is from the hotel manager who saved us on our next morning as we were about to miss our train due to a late taxi and who did not hesitate to run to his personal car and bring us to the train station like a real super hero :) we were so grateful.. Rooms are perfect, spacious and super comfy with very large beds. I personally love the Nuxe honey shower gel & shampoo that really makes the shower moment at the end of a long day really sweet. And of course, probably the best part, the breakfast buffet that is excellent - so much CHOICE ! And everything tastes perfect especially before a really long day (eggs, bacon, cereals, fresh bread, pain au chocolat,...). Would love to come back if I get the opportunity to! Thank you to the team for making our business trips really sweet and cozy.

“Does the job, clean and comfortable”

All in all a good hotel, but nothing stands out - but I must say the size of the rooms are very good. Otherwise it is a little frustrating as it is not easy to park and it does not offer any kind of evening meal possibilities that limits its versatility if using it for business.

All in all a good hotel, but nothing stands out - but I must say the size of the rooms are very good. Otherwise it is a little frustrating as it is not easy to park and it does not offer any kind of evening meal possibilities that limits its versatility if using it for business. On my room (123) the external window handle broke off and it looks like it has been broken a while, and the aircon is turned off - a shame as now it gets warm and the sun comes right through the window, making the rooms very warm——- Breakfast is good, typical. All in all, better than the Ibis around the corner, but not wow either.

“A Good Stay with peculiar service!”

It’s my 1st time visiting France recently in Sept 2022 and had a few surprises from this hotel that I have never encountered in my years of traveling the world. Not sure if it’s a culture or service that I have yet to understand. Some pros: - Room was a good size w/ clean sheets, towels & good wate… more

It’s my 1st time visiting France recently in Sept 2022 and had a few surprises from this hotel that I have never encountered in my years of traveling the world. Not sure if it’s a culture or service that I have yet to understand. Some pros: - Room was a good size w/ clean sheets, towels & good water pressure - arrived early at 8am & was check-in promptly. even had the chance to enjoy the breakfast - breakfast was a decent spread; I especially & thoroughly enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice from the machine. A good vitamin booster during the endemic :0 - helpful service staff who spoke good English to organize our taxi back to Belgium. The cons (based on what I am used to when I visit America or Asia) - the service staff ie front office, serving members of the breakfast lounge look comfortable enjoying breakfast with the hotel guests. Something I am not used to. They also looked comfortable talking and laughing loudly where there were clearly hotel guests trying to have a decent quiet breakfast. I was there for 4D/ 3N and always had the displeasure of having breakfast with the staff members. - I was told this is the best hotel within the city but I have seen better design & service from mercure before (ie Bangkok, Indonesia, etc.) Overall, a good stay but peculiar in their service.
