Hotel Mercure Trouville Sur Mer bintang 4

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!!

Perfect from start to finish, Reception excellent. Room clean and value for money. Fish market opposite excellent for lunch can get very busy at certain hours . Many places closed until mid December, only a small drive to deaville

Not for asthmatics and people with sensitive airways as the room smells heavily of a nauseating vanilla air-freshener which is continuously spayed into the room from a plug-in. We pulled it out and opened the window, but it stayed in the room and the bedsheets. The hotel itself is well situated and in short walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and the fish market. The walls between rooms are thin and we were thus entertained by the loud snoring of our neighbour. Kept me awake for a long time until I finally put my noise-cancelling headphones on which also blissfully drowned out the screams from the seagulls.

Excellent position right across from the casino, good clean rooms with A/C, service at breakfast impeccable, although reception staff a little tetchy in spite of our speaking good French (languages graduate) - stayed in Executive Room at top of hotel with view across the casino and the sea-front and estuary - free water coke and juice in room mini-bar. Only real issues are: i) Would be useful to know that you have to go to Hotel first to pick up a token to access the car park across the road at a reduced cost (Euros 20 per day, rather than full price Euros 26) and ii) The shower has no door, therefore you have to be really careful not to flood the bathroom.

very nice stay, location of the hotel is just second to none. 2 min walk and you are on the beach, perfect the room is nice but the real star is the bed, very comfortable. the breakfast is just a excellent selection of products. you even can do yourself fresh crepes. the freshly baked brioche yum.....
