Mercure Lisieux Hotel Normandie

We were in a coach party visiting Normandy, basing ourselves at this hotel. The hotel provided a package of B&B, plus evening meal. Our somewhat soulless room with its one kitchen chair was clean and adequate, though, being on the top floor, some of the bedroom area enjoyed limited headroom because of the sloping ceiling. It was said to have been recently refurbished, but they must have missed the velux window, which had flaking paintwork. Anyway, the bedroom and bathroom were acceptable for the three nights we were there. On the first night, the room came with a small bottle of water. After that, you must provide your own, as I was told the hotel policy is one small bottle free ‘per stay’. The breakfast was very good, being a self-serve meal providing the usual array of breakfast foods and I have no complaints about it. Our evening meal, served in a separate area from the main restaurant, was another issue altogether. Having a special (price-focused?) package, our arrangements were not that provided to the hotel's other guests, so my comments should not be taken as a view on the hotel's normal evening-meal provision. I won't describe the food dishes we were presented with, other than to summarise our self-serve evening meals as very poor fare indeed and I would have never accepted such food if it was served to me in a 'proper' restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful, though on at least one night there seemed to be a shortage of staff, leaving people queuing at the small bar. I would not chose to stay there again, even as a regular guest. However, I did notice that the car park and restaurant on Saturday night seemed quite full, so others may have thought differently to me.

Good stay and calme place. Large privileged room and convenient.

a pleasant over night stop. Dinner in our room was a bonus for us after a long drive and as we had travelled with our dog it was more convenient than going to the restaurant. A reasonable sized room. a little more expensive than similar hotels in Spain.

The hotel has good facilities, restaurant and swimming pool! The rooms were good with comfortable beds. The Breakfast was really good! I would stay again if in Lisieux.

Really nice to have 2 rooms in one so kids could be asleep and we could still chat/watch TV. Good linen, confortable beds too. Ceilings were very low though.
