Mercure Moulins Centre - Hôtel de Paris 4 stars

A pleasant but a regrettably short stay

Centrally located in historical center Nicely refurbished boutique kind hotel, significantly better than the usual Mercure style. Large old furnished rooms and bathrooms Excellent breakfast buffet

I had mistakenly booked hotel day early. When I arrived front desk. staff greeted me and helped me a lot to accommodate my stay. Adurey (I hope her name spell correctly) She was great, friendly and very professional.

We were greeted by very helpful, friendly staff. Our room was comfortable and well-appointed. The parking was secure. The breakfast was copious and varied. The hotel is only a short walk from the centre of town with its many restaurants.

Plus points, room was clean, quiet and breakfast was very good. Minus points, room nothing like description on web-site, view from window...none...only a dilapidated old roof, not enough hanging space for clothes, desk!! what desk. Paint peeling over shower in bathroom, shower dial misaligned, shower door handle inside broken, etc., etc.,

We had a brilliant stay at the hotel but we felt cheated by the website that stated we had a two room suite which we thought was a bedroom each. Sadly this was not the case but thankfully your brilliant staff sorted out the problem and all ended up well. The only other downside was that the tea bags in the room were all put together so they all tastyed of fruit.

Met my expectation

Although we had booked a standard room, the room we received was much more like a superior room; which was a nice surprise, as we had been very disappointed with the last Mercure hotel in Saint Nectaire, where we had booked and paid for a superior room, but received (despite complaint) a very poor, dark and shabby standard room. The room here was very comfortable, with a spacious bathroom including separate bath and shower. The only minus point would be that the toilet is in a separate room without a hand basin. Although the hotel doesn't have a restaurant any more (apart from the breakfast room), there are plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. Unlike the hotel in Saint Nectaire, where you had to pay €6 for towels to use the pool, the staff here willingly gave us towels for pool use at no extra charge. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast to the usual excellent Mercure standard, although there was no bacon! Although there is a parking charge, it is worth it, as the car park is secured by locked gates.

Great location. Wonderful service. Clean, quiet room. Air conditioning and WIFI top notch. . Just one VERY SMALL hurdle: had to spend five minutes figuring out how to use all the levers and taps of the shower! Once I got it I had a wonderfully hot ablution. Also, if you have problems climbing stairs, the annex does not have an elevator The Hotel de Paris (Mercure) is a nice place which I would recommend to my best friend.
