Hôtel Mercure Paris Arc de Triomphe Étoile anmeldelser

This was one of the few relatively affordable hotels available for a five-night stay in November. Staff were uniformly professional and efficient. Checking in and checking out was effortless. The breakfast area was kept very clean and well laid out. The elevator is compact, but I never had occasion to share it with others. I preferred taking the stairs anyway. I stayed in a spacious Superior Room with One Double Bed on the 4th floor. I had requested a quiet room away from the elevator. Mine faced the rear of the building, just above the roof of the breakfast room. I never heard any traffic noise -- and noise from other guests was minimal. The bed was quite comfortable, and the duvet kept me so warm that I didn't need to run the heat overnight. The toilet is in its own small compact space separate from the bathroom. I would have preferred a regular shower head, but I was able to make due with the handheld device without spraying too much water everywhere. Location is good -- it's just a ten minute walk north of the Arc de Triomphe, where one can catch Line 1 to the Louvre and other Right Bank sights. Bus lines (always worth learning when visiting the city) connect you to other parts of the city efficiently and affordably.
