Mercure Compiègne Sud Hotel 4 stars

Fine

We chose the Mercure Compiegne Sud because we needed secure parking for a large vehicle on our way back to the UK and a hotel with a restaurant so we did not have to go out and find one. The hotel was in a quiet location and our room very clean and comfortable. They only seem to provide towels for one person as standard so, if you are two, you need to ask. The staff were helpful and we ate on their outside terrace and decided to order a bottle of Provence rose with our meal, as it was a hot, sunny evening. We were shown a menu (understandably limited due to the corona virus situation) but not shown a wine list and were very shocked when we were charged 40 euros for the rose which, from past experience, should have cost nearer 20 euros. The outside terrace was definitely in need of a face-lift with tired, grey plastic tables and chairs and planters with dead plants but guess it has been neglected during lock-down and there are now only limited staff so it's not a priority.

Nice stay despite the covid constraints

Dear Monsieur Arnaud, Sorry for writing in English, but my French is not good enough to detail my comments sufficiently in French. But I guess, also the English version should get the point across. First of all I like the Mercure Hotel in Compiegne. The hotel is well located, provides parking, breakfast is good, rooms are quiet and the beds are excellent (I like hard mattresses). The rooms are clean and the staff is polite and helpful. But one issue I don't like. The rooms are very warm, at least the one I was in (Room 139 if I remember correctly). Despite I even started the air conditioning instead of the heater the room didn't cool off at all. At least the temperature stayed above a comfortable sleeping temperature. And with the roof directly in front of my window I didn't want to leave the window open all night. But what confused me the most, was the fact, that when I wanted to check out, the front desk hostess wanted to charge my personal credit card. The reservation was made via the company's booking portal www.basf-hotels.com. As the payment type the company virtual credit card was confirmed. After a longer discussion we left with the clerk's promise to clarify the issue afterwards. When I checked my e-mail the next day I was very surprised to find an invoice in my mail inbox. Now I am wondering how we ensure that the next time the room charge is truly directly billed to the company credit card. Thank you for your comment. Cordialement Josef R.

Not too well located as a little distant from Compiègne, however the hôtel was recently reformed and refurbished and it is overall quite satisfactory. Personnel is nice and helpful.

Very good. First great thing was the secure parking as I was enroute to grandchildren for Xmas had to leave things in car. Dinner was excellent only regret was lot if coughing and sneezing now I have it!

Hotel was great. Beds comfortable. Great breakfast.

I've been in many Mercure hotels and do far this is the best one: cozy place, kind people always looking to make your stay pleasant and to close the circle, a good breakfast. Great place to stay, and close to a marvelous town.

We were greeted with a very hospitable welcome. The room was very comfortable room and quiet, just what was needed for a good night's rest. Breakfast was most enjoyable enough to set you up for a busy day. The wifi works and is fast. For a business trip what more do you want?

Convenient stop over when travelling from or to the channel not getting to near to Paris, easy to find, free secure parking. Just on the outskirts of the town. Reception dealt with all our requests in a very polite manner.

Nice quiet hotel in a convenient location. Hotel staff were excellent and helped us out a lot. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent with a nice choice of good food. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Our only dislikes were the hard beds and hard pillows.

We stayed at this hotel because it was very easy to visit nearby family and to go into Paris. The staff are lovely, very attentive and friendly. The breakfast was very enjoyable and the parking was secure.

This was my first time in France - desk staff was professional, helpful and attentive. Service staff was friendly, gracious and accomodating. Room was very clean, comfortable and quiet - no noise from other guests. I was very pleased with this hotel and my stay there.

stayed here as a family - very welcoming and helpful staff, pleasant good value food (dinner and breakfast) and comfortable rooms; would definitely recommend if you are in the area and need a good night's rest

didn't spend that much time there, but the staff were very obliging, helpful & made us feel very welcome, especially Delphine on reception. I forget the name of the other lady, but she was excellent too thank you ian
