Mercure Brive Hotel 4 stars

I think it's the best hotel in the area. It's perfect for short stay - a few days, in case of longer stays hotel is not perfectly prepared for.

We have stayed in over 40 Mercure/Accor hotels in France during recent years, the majority of times in Privilege rooms or Junior Suites. Our stay in room 320 in Brive was spoilt by the room being without doubt the smallest ever experienced. It was minute, so much so that there was not even room for a wardrobe or a drawer to place our clothes. There was a curtain type arrangement in one corner of the room which we took to be a substitute. Added to that the electricity in the room was most dangerous and in need of repair work. We should have made more of our concerns and disappointment at the time, but it was pointed out to us that a professional Rugby team were staying at the hotel and rooms were in short supply. We did nor stay for dinner, although breakfast was acceptable.

A well run, very pleasant hotel. The room was excellent, everything was clean and fresh. I have stayed before and this hotel doesn't disappoint. Breakfast was very good with a good selection of dishes available. Sadly on the night I stayed (Sunday evening) the restaurant was closed but there was room service.

Once found, hotel exceeded expectations. The address gave us problems., The address needed the words "Lieu-Dit" inserted on our Sat Nav before Le Griffolet - a small map showing the way to the hotel on your acknowledgement would have saved us nearly an hour in finding you. Once found very good visit indeed.

Very nice hotel, with very friendly personnel. The decoration is very pleasant and modern. Food in the restaurant is excellent (dinner and breakfast as well). Parking for cars was a bit disorganised. because a bus was taking a lot of the space. Rooms are very well.

Our second stay here on drive South to Spain. Convenient location. Nice pool area. Good parking. Acceptable rooms and breakfast. Great shower!

Excellent swimming pool, set in lovely grounds. Bedrooms clean & tidy. Restaurant handy with tasty food. Staff friendly. We enjoyed our overnight stay.

Excellent and friendly service, a very comfortable room, convenient and high quality food and above all a "country/rural feel" even though the hotel is on an industrial estate and right next to the motorway. Will definitely use this hotel again.

We spent four days using the hotel as a resort with its great pool and wonderful restaurant. The personnel at all levels were friendly and efficient a pleasant place to say. the only slightly negative thinfg as that the facade is a little 'tired' and needs a new coat of paint. the rooms, if a little small were very comfortable and the modern shower in the bath room a pleasure.

Hotel was comfortable and clean. Staff good but very scarce and seemed under staffed for the demands on them

Quiet, peaceful and nice place.

Great

PARFAIT

I arrived late at the hotel just after 9.30pm (partly down to the fact that website says it’s in Lussac - it’s not! The hotel is right next to autoroute so I asked for a room facing the gardens. Only option offered was to upgrade so paid €25 extra for a premium room - there was still some road noise especially if you opened window. Although restaurant advertised to be open till 10 I was told on arrival it was closed and no type of food available. Having driven over 500kms I went for a glass of wine. Order was taken but waitress seemed more interested in cashing up than bring my wine and after 15 mins went to ask for it. The room was functional and comfortable and with nice fluffy towels and good bed. Also had fridge & kettle and Nespresso machine. But Mercure why oh why those silly little paper cups. They really don’t go with the concept of premium room but moreover represent a safety hazard - suggest you try picking one up with boiling tea in it! Breakfast following morning was good and nice bright restaurant. It was annoying however to be informed that room service was available 24/7 but no mention of this had been made previous evening. The hotel is situated in a semi industrial area and not that convenient for Brive unless you get back in car. If travelling north/south through France then this is handy for a one night stop over but lacks the polish and style of the Mercure at Bourges next time will be taking that route.
