Mercure Paris Bastille Saint Antoine

Some hotel staff were nicer and more helpful than others, but some information about the area etc would've been useful rather than just handing us the key when checking in. I wouldn't say the hotel is 4 star. While it is comfortable enough, its a bit drab. The cleaning of the room was substandard, dirty pillowcase left on bed, toilet roll left on floor, bin not changed etc which was probably the worst thing about the room. the lights are also pretty bad seeing as there is no overall "main light". Area is good with lots nearby.

Perfect, comfortable, well located, and affordable hotel. Plus, we both LOVED the breakfast which we decided to pay for. Thank you!

Pros: - Bed and room was clean (but don't look under bed) - Bathroom is mostly clean (minor mold in the corners) - Room size was ok - Bed was pretty comfy (not too hard and not too soft) - Location is close to metros, restaurants and a stop on the yellow line of the L'open hop on hop off tour (but far from the tourist attractions (not within walking distance) Cons: - Toilet is in a separate room, typical European style, but door opens into toilet, so you have to stand on toilet to open/close the door - Window is full height like a door did not lock (but not so bad since we were on 3rd floor and there was a barricade window shade that can be used too, but then you have no sunlight) and door to hotel room did not consistently lock, hotel room was changed after their staff left room unlocked one day - amenities were not refreshed until second to last day (which was annoying)

350 euros for one night last Thursday 20th , the most I've ever paid for a bog standard hotel. Paris was hugely expensive last week. Hotel itself was "ok", let down by two people arguing at base of hotel at 02:30 am which lasted 30 minutes and woke the entire hotel up.

Excellent location, great hotel
