Hotel Mercure Trouville Sur Mer 4 estrellas

We booked 5 nights at the Hotel Mercure in Trouville-Sur-Mer as part of a package deal through Brittany Ferries, arriving on Tuesday 23rd August 2022 and departing the following Sunday. Doing so gave us a considerable saving on making both bookings separately, and the overall Value for Money rating is based upon this fact. This was also our first proper holiday/mini-break without the children! We were very pleased with the hotel. Its location is superb, just 2-5 minutes walk to the beach, and within minutes (or seconds!) walk of lots of local restaurants. It’s also possible to walk across to Deauville (at low tide - 1€) and get the ferry across (at high tide - 1.5€) should this be of interest, or else just take the longer 15min+ walk.... We had a Standard/Classic room, and initially it seemed the bedroom element was a bit “snug”. However, we had a decent sized bathroom, and once we had unpacked we found room to store everything successfully as the bedroom had everything we needed and enough storage space. The hotel was clean, and our room was cleaned daily. Indeed, the bathroom cleaning undertaken each day was exceptionally good, and we were very impressed. The breakfast buffet each morning was superb, with a choice of all sorts of things you might expect, but also including the ability to cook your own eggs to your liking, warm your own pancakes and crepes and squeeze your own oranges! There were a wide variety of tasty food options available, and we were glad to see the emphasis on fresh local produce and the deliberate avoidance of single-use plastics. The staff at the hotel were all friendly and helpful, and special thanks must go to Chloe (?) - who always had a smile to give us - for advice on restaurants. We were impressed that there was a Brita water fountain on our floor, able to dispense chilled still or sparking water for our bottles whenever we needed it, without the need to buy yet another plastic bottle of water. A minor issue is that the hotel does not have its own car park, and we had to use the public car park opposite. However, when we arrived parking was easy. We just needed to enter the car park and get a ticket, park, check-in, then get a special card from the hotel for us to be able to use one of the limited number of hotel reserved spaces within the car park. This then involved us exiting the car park with the ticket we already had (paying 1.8€) and re-entering with the hotel card. This meant we only paid 20€/day rather than the normal 28€/day. We noted that on some days the car park was full, so being lucky enough to get a reserved space was essential as parking in the town more generally can be a nightmare at times. Overall a very enjoyable stay, and we hope to come back soon! Merci beaucoup!!

Tras estar en diversos hoteles por Bretaña y Normandía, este fue el mejor, al menos en cuanto al desayuno: zumo de naranja natural, café que no fuese de máquina y diferentes tipos de queso francés. El resto del hotel y las habitaciones también era buenas. Está en frente del Casino, y apenas saliendo del hotel hay un montón de restaurantes a mano izquierda. Su precio es algo elevado.

Lo mejor es su localización enfrente del casino y al lado de la playa, es silencioso.Habitacion doble con 2 camas con espacio.Baño moderno aunque el secador es de tubo y solo hay jabon.Tienen parking aunque no lo usamos ya que se puede aparcar cerca desde las 19h hasta las 09am.La otra habitación era "privilege" con más colorido y albornoces y zapatillas.Personal correcto.A 100 metros se puede desayunar en la pastisseri Charlotte X 8€

El hotel está bien ubicado en Trouville, frente al casino y al muelle, rodeado de restaurantes donde se puede elegir qué tipo de comida o estilo de lugar para cenar. Provee un buen desayuno buffet. Las habitaciones están bien equipadas pero no llegan al nivel que uno espera en un cuatro estrellas. Los artículos de baño provistos estaban reducidos a la mínima expresión. De hecho tuvimos que pedir shampoo porque no había, lo que podría ser aceptable en un hotel de menor categoría. No cuenta con estacionamiento propio por lo que la sugerencia en la recepción es buscar lugar en los alrededores. Dependiendo del momento del año el estacionamiento es gratuito en muchas zonas pero no es tan fácil encontrar un lugar libre. Los estacionamientos pagos están a mayor distancia del hotel. Si bien Trouville es atractivo, Deauville, la ciudad que se encuentra cruzando el puente y a la que se llega andando, es más agradable y ofrece mayor variedad de alojamientos, negocios y es más interesante para recorrerla.

En general el hotel está bien aunque ya se le empiezan a notar los años. Si se aprovecha una buena oferta (sobre 80 Euros) se puede escoger para quedar. Pagar más ya sería demasiado caro. En la ciudad de al lado (Deauville) hay más y mejores y se puede ir andando.
