Hotel Mercure Trouville Sur Mer 4 stelle

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!!

Albergo centralissimo. Personale cordiale ed efficiente. Camere belle e pulite.

Da anni passiamo le vacanze in Francia nella catena AccorHotels - Mercure. Siamo sempre stati ben accolti, da 14 anni siamo fedeli clienti e abbiamo sempre la tessera Silver carica di punti. Guardando le foto dell’hotel sembra che sia fronte mare, ed addirittura con spiaggia riservata. Invece: niente box o posto auto; nemmeno convenzionato con quello difronte. Niente convenzione con la spiaggia, ti devi arrangiare. La stanza: la maggior parte sono affacciate su interni vecchi e mal tenuti. Frigobar rotto. Stanza sporca. Porte armadio rotte. Prezzo non conforme a quanto offerto. Delusi.

Primo soggiorno in questo albergo. Positivo. Grazie all' upgrade, ho ottenuto una camera superiore, con arredamento vivace, piacevole, macchina per espresso, oltre al bollitore per the e caffé, mini frigo, accappatoio e pantofole. La vasca è dotata di poggia testa: non solo ti lavi, ma ti puoi anche rilassare. La sala ristorante è solo per la colazione mattutina, buona. Due ascensori moderni. Personale cortese. La località è molto bella con amplissima spiaggia, lungomare lungo, ben curato e pulito, Molte ville fin de siècle, retaggio dei ricchi Britannici e tanti bar, brasseries e ristoranti. Locali per l'acquisto e la degustazione di ostriche e crostacei. Casino. Vicinanza a Le Havre, Honfleur, Cabourg, Deauville. L'albergo non ha parcheggio, ma nella piazza antistante c'è quello pubblico a livello e sotterraneo, ampio. Per la 1° sosta dal pomeriggio al mattino e la 2° dalla sera al mattino ho pagato 15€50 ogni volta. L'apparecchio accetta banconote da 5 e 10€, quindi è opportuno avere la carta Maestro o equipollente.

Questo Hotel si trova a due passi dal centro di Deauville, di fronte al mare. Le camere sono confortevoli. Ma al Mercure sempre meglio scegliere le camere "privilege". Un po' scarsa la hall e la sala per la prima colazione, abbastanza piccole e poco servite.
