Hotel Mercure Paris La Defense 4 estrelas

The room we had overlooking main entrance was noisy due to the incorrectly fitted window catches that would not seal the windows. We have stopped in many hotels in our lifetime bus the breakfast experience on the 1st floor was nothing short of shocking, whoever designed the layout obviously has not watched the confusion, the queues were out as far as the stairs. Just a tip, move the coffee machines.

Pretty average hotel. Room ok size, perfectly comfortable bed, reasonable sized bathroom, but poor water pressure in the shower and everything just bland, bland colours, bland decor and certainly no feeling of anything special. Also thought the room rate was expensive but presume a function of it's location....

This hotel looks absolutely nothing like the pictures. When you book, be aware there are actually 2 separate hotels here: the “hotel” and the “residence.” I unknowingly ended up on the residence building across the street, which is a bit run down compared to the hotel. The receptionist even said the residence is more of a 3 star whereas the hotel is a 4 star. While there’s nothing necessarily wrong with the residence, it is located separate from the main hotel. Also, the bathroom is a bit run down and the room’s lighting is very poor. Also, there are no available sockets to plus any chargers in unless you unplug one of the few lights. The breakfast in the morning wasn’t bad, but all the hot food was cold including eggs. On the other hand, the hotel is conveniently located next to the RER and walking distance to La Defense.

The worst thing about this hotel is the noise. I don’t know if it’s the thin walls but I could hear constant banging and moving around . I did move rooms and the hotel was very accommodating but I could hear noise in the new room too. If you can sleep through noise then you will have no issues but if you have problems like me then I’d advise chosing somewhere else. Apart from that lovely staff, nice clean hotel , big and modern rooms!

The room is ok and also good location (trains, subway, bus), but you have to wait sometimes 1 hour on the line to have breakfast. If you have to go out early for whatever reason, you dont have enough time. So just consider not paying for breakfast.
