As an Accor Plus member, on this Paris trip decided to check out the Accor hotels, most of which are in the Paris central area, to sample and compare the stay experience at different tier accommodation within the France and European context, as compared to similar tier accommodation in Asia Pacific and Oceana. Stay at this Mercure followed a stay at a nearby ibis the night before. The most noticeable and distinguishable features are most hotels are generally in small existing buildings, hence do not have many rooms, which generally fall into the compact category, and other than a breakfast area which doubles as a general use area at other times, there is no restaurant since there are many restaurants and fast-food outlets, nearby or adjacent. This Mercure (with 40+ rooms) is in a corner of Rue De Trevise and Rue de Montyon, flanked on the right by the Mercure Paris Opera Faubourg and the left by ibis Styles Paris Lafayette Opera. Entry is through a secured door, opening into the breakfast, bar and common area. Check in being 14:00, Matthieu who was on duty took my bag and we had a pleasant chat, since it was quiet. There is no reception and the tables in the general area served as the duty staff’s “office”, but it seemed to work. Whilst planning my itinerary, Matthew came back and said my room was ready before time. Layout and finish of the rooms are typically Mercure but very small, smaller than those in the ibis I was in the day before. The bathroom is about the size as in an aircraft, with similarly small sink and a compact shower cubicle attached. As I was told the hotel was fully booked, there was no upgrade so did not have the opportunity to compare. However, there is a bar fridge and a safe, plus coffee/tea making facilities and a sparkling and a still drinking water, but no in room slippers as is the norm throughout Asia Pacific and Oceana. Though on the first floor, it was very quiet as it was some 100m in from junction with Rue du Faubourg. Reopened after renovation this two-year old hotel is clean and tidy, with natural light from the large window and interior lighting. Bed was comfortable enough for a reasonable rest. The breakfast spread was expected of this level, adequate with scrambled eggs and bacon as the hot items and a selection of fruits, breads, pastries and cakes and cold cuts and cheeses. Seating was adequate, and beverages include juices, coffee and tea…. Express check out was just as easy, drop the card and go.
