Hotel Mercure Paris Bastille Saint Antoine

Nice stay

Geen geluid te horen van buiten en binnen. Prima douche; ook bad beschikbaar. Heel sympathiek personeel. Kwam ruim na ontbijttijd beneden, kreeg in de lounge/bar nog gratis koffie en croissants.

We stayed here on two different occasions in October. We chose this hotel since it was close to our friend’s home in Paris. Our first stay was for one night only and we were given a room on the top floor that had a lovely outdoor balcony with places to sit and enjoy the day or evening in Paris. We really enjoyed the balcony and the room was clean, comfortable bed, and enough space. The little mini fridge had a complimentary bottle of water, a bottle of juice, a bottle of soda, and a bottle of sparkling water. Those complimentary drinks was a very thoughtful and welcomed plus! After a trip to London, we arrived back in Paris and we stayed here again for four nights. This time we were given a room on the first floor. The outside noise was noticeable. Every day in the late afternoon, there was some type of film class filming a report outside our hotel window. Early in the morning, we would hear large banging noises from some type of truck outside our windows. Our room was on the backside of the hotel so it was not along the busy street. The beds were still very comfortable and the room was very clean. We had the complimentary water, juice, and soda in the mini fridge. Each day, they would tidy up our room and usually they would refill the mini fridge with complementary drinks. This was very nice and definitely a plus. We did not care for them leaving our windows open each day and the window did not lock. The neighborhood was absolutely wonderful! There are many fantastic restaurants nearby (Mokonuts and L’ aubergeade are two we highly recommend), a wonderful farmers market that seems to be open daily with fresh produce, and nice boutique shops nearby. We loved exploring the area! We found a wonderful little pastry shop that we visited every morning and they made the best cafe eclairs and almond crescents. It was a little shop with a small park across the street called Blè sucrè. This hotel was also close to several metro stops which made getting around Paris easy. We would definitely stay in this neighborhood again and we would stay at this hotel on the top floor again. The reason it is rated four instead of five is because the first floor was noisy and the window did not lock.

The room was comfortable but small. The shower controls were fiddly. Breakfast choice was limited, especially the cheeses for a French hotel. The bacon was the worst I've ever had in a hotel. Not 4-star for food.

The hotel is slightly outside the central city tourist hotspots. However it is easy to catch a Metro into the city. The location has many nice bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The hotel itself is slightly tired but for the price of a nights stay it is very nice for Paris. The staff at this hotel are a credit to the Mecure group. They could not do enough for you. They were always giving good recommendations for places to visit including the best way of getting there. If I visit Paris again in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use this hotel.

Awful. Incredibly unhelpful. My flight was cancelled due to french air strike and the hotel wouldn’t even refund my prepayment for breakfast, despite me being unable to travel. I understand if my room couldn’t be cancelled, but not refunding extras like breakfast, is just wrong.
