Mercure Blois Centre Hotel 4 stars

We enjoyed our stay & felt everything was done to ensure it was a safe environment.

Fantastic staff, super friendly and helpful. Very comfortable bed and great stay. OK the rooms look a bit dated for the usual Mercure but everything great, amazing pool and hammam- shame it’s not open before 9.30am

I think the hotel does not deliver according to the price. I chose this hotel specifically because of the parking and I was not allowed to book the parking in advance. There were parking lots in front of the hotel and the receptionist told me I had to move my car, but a lot of other cars were there. I had the car full of luggage as I was travelling. The room was small, looking to an internal backyard, with the walls not in the best shape. I must say that the beds were good and the bathroom was clean. Finally, the restaurant. The receptionist, when we were doing the check-in at 9pm told us that most likely we wouldn't be able to have dinner because everything was booked. What better does the hotel have to do than to be able to provide dinner to its guests even if that requires to keep the kitchen open a bit later to give enough time for some tables to free up? I don't understand... For almost 175 euros for one night, this didn't match the expectations at all...

The reception and lobby are beautiful. The swimming pool is very nice . The service was really excellent, I got very quick answers to my emails and phone calls with questions and was very pleased with that. The rooms however were tired and in need of an update. The carpet felt really old, the doors to bathroom and closet were old and scruffy. The bathroom on the other side was perfect and the bed was good and comfortable.

From booking to check out, the Blois team were excellent. Communications were excellent and clear. Check in was smooth. The room was great. Breakfast the next morning was excellent. Well done!!!

A/C did not function properly.

Wonderful staff and overall impression of the hotel; delicious food for diner, great amenities and fantastic location

Excellent service. Small downside- Coffee cups are not fitting appropriately to coffee machines. Pricing is overrated

It was correct

The Mercure hotel is a short walk from Blois’ historical town centre, with a lovely view from the restaurant over the Loire river. Excellent local wines in the bar, delicious food and very friendly and professional staff throughout the hotel.

Having stayed at this hotel last year we knew what to expect. The hotel is wonderful. Faciliites, especially the pool area are excellent. Blois is a lovely town and the hotel is very well placed to exploit the location.

Central location and hotel was up to standard. Staff were very helpful and our meals were really nice. One objection I have is eating in a restaurant and dogs allowed in when I am eating. I am sure this is not allowed in the EU. On 2 occasions, breakfast and dinner there were dogs in the restaurant. I would welcome your comments on this.

Booked a Loire View room - which sounded nice - but in practice is a waste of time/money. The view is blocked by a row of dense foliage trees right outside the hotel. The hotel is in a great location - just 5mins walk to the centre of Blois old-town. The hotel and rooms in general are much more modern than the standard Mercure 'Plum' furnishings. Leisure facilities were good - but they had a strange rule about no long swim shorts.

Our second stay at this hotel didn't disappoint. Our room, facing the Loire River was comfortable and had plenty of room, particularly the bathroom, where extra space is always needed. We led a small group and our check-in/out was seamless and professional. There is quite a good choice at the breakfast buffet. Our group dined one night in the restaurant and the service was professional and the menu selection very good. Our favourite spot was the bar after a hard day of touring. The only complaint being the the selection of beers was very small and at one stage ran out of bottled beer, not good for a thirsty group. Also, the bar staff were not particularly welcoming or engaging. However, overall a very pleasant stay.

Very nice hotel inside with reasonable proximity to town centre. Impressive reception and bar setting with nice restaurant/Breakfast setting. Good sized and equipped room and bathroom. Bed poor, understand the need for mattress protection but ours wasn't 'breathable ' so it was like sleeping on plastic. Not nice at all. Brilliant breakfast and good dinner in the restaurant one night, better than restaurants in town and good value. Free public parking very near by but shame hotel charges for theirs.
