Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Very warm welcome, friendly staff, small birthday gift, everything was perfect and professional. Even our dog received a personalised welcome. The only downside was that the swimming pool was out of service, which was a shame given the scorching temperatures. We forgive them, as it was a technical problem. We highly recommend this establishment.”
“As a Diamond member I was very impressed with Flora and Morgane.”
“Staff at reception are friendly and efficient, the restaurant is a must go to as the food is exceptional.”
“Very nice room, location and overall facilities. Very kind staff and always available and in a great mood. The highlight of my stay was on the arrival day. I've checked in the evening without having dinner and very tired. The receptionist could "read my face" and immediately asked me if i wanted to have dinner on Mercure restaurant, even though it closes at 22h.”
“Very happy with my stay at the hotel. Comfortable accommodations, excellent service, The staff have been friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Perrine, for her exceptional support. Her assistance was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend this hotel!”
