Hotel Mercure Paris Saint – Lazare Monceau

The rooms were rather basic. Although the hotel has been renovated one can tell that it is an oldish building. The first room we got had a huge leak in it, which was clearly old but has not been repainted. The staff was very helpful and gave us another room. Breakfast was good, offering a large variety of options. The hotel is very convenient for the Disneyland transfer.

I don’t usually write reviews but thought I would start. Me and my partner are 23 so was looking for a little weekend in Paris for valentines. This hotel had a great location with Eiffel Tower less than 2 min walk, few shops and bars within walking distance. The room was ok and not badly decorated maybe could do with a freshen up but for the weekend this was ok. I didn’t like the toilet and shower being in seperate rooms as it didn’t give you much space for opening doors as they clashed together. Comfy bed just small rooms and didn’t have great view but did not pay for a tower view Lovely free drinks in the fridge and topped up daily We did have to call up for fresh towels as we didn’t have any put in the room Coffee and milk was not restocked - probs forgot Lots of taxis outside the hotel 2.40 starting cost on most taxi but around 10 mins drive all in was Aprox €9/10 We didn’t find the breakfast all that but we do like our fry up in the morning. They only had mini sausages, bacon and very milky scrabbled eggs- no beans/tomatoes/ mushrooms etc They did have cereal, fruit, yoghurts etc so definitely something there for everyone, we didn’t go hungry.

This place is only good because of its location and the staff. The rooms are horribly small. The housekeeping staff was cleaning the rooms and I guess was in a bad mood as he/ she kept banging the doors, cleaning rigorously by banging things and talking loudly. There also came a point when someone actually tried to enter my room without knocking. That was terribly rude. The guys at the reception saved the day were really helpful. Geordie and Clavem were awesome and helped me get a key to my room. They were very polite and professional. The rooms are small and the furniture is absolutely dated. The curtains have holes in them and some bathroom door are chipped. The showers in some rooms are clogged and don’t have the right pressure. They also don’t have black English breakfast tea put in the rooms. I mean why would you ever not have tea in the room ?? That’s basic. Every time I have stayed here the experience is getting from bad to worst. One more time the only thing keeping this place running is the staff and the location. Nothing else about this property has a wow factor. Sorry but just being honest !!
