• RER stop under hotel.
• Noise from the RER trains in room.

“This is a bit too far from Paris. There is absolutely nothing in the area after 5 pm on weekdays and even less on weekends. The hotel restaurant was closed on Saturday night.”

• Hotel Mercury was clean, safe, and quiet. It is right next to the RER entrance, and even though it is technically outside of Paris, it's easy to get to.
• A couple of times I wanted to watch a movie, but in order to do so you had to pay 12 euros for a whole day's worth of movies.

“This hotel was a delightful haven to return to after a busy day. There was lots of hot water, a nice strong shower, and a big comfortable bed. Though it might have been nice to be closer to the center of Paris, I appreciated the hotel's cleanliness and efficiency. The proximity of a grocery store, bakery, and RER station made it very accommodating. The staff was gracious. If I return to Paris, I will probably stay here again.”

• It was located right at the subway exit. The staff was helpful and answered such questions as which terminal a flight was arriving at.
• The cost of the internet was about $25/hour.

“The hotel was clean and very close to subway exit, though a bit out of the center of the city. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful even though I didn't speak French. (I had heard rumors the Parisians were not so friendly to non-French speakers.)”

• The price, and the size of the room for Europe.
• They made us switch rooms during the stay which was a hassle.

“The rooms were very clean, nice, and the hotel is right on the RER line which will take you into the city in nine minutes. Pros: Safe, Clean, Nice Staff, On top of the RER line, Nanterre is a great little town with some restaurants right outside of the hotel, a Franprix which is a little cheap grocery story, a bread shop, and a tabac. Cons: the only problem we had was we had to switch rooms because this hotel is in two buildings and one closes on the weekends so the switched us.”

• Located right next to the rail station; easy access to central Paris
• The hotel's breakfast option was expensive

“The check-in staff was helpful and accomodating. Rooms were furnished more nicely than the average European 3* hotel, and the room's climate control system worked well. The suburban location of the hotel was counterbalanced by the quietness of the neighborhood and the excellent proximity to a rail station. We were very pleased with our stay here.”

• Decent and well priced breakfast

• Next door to the RER train,
• Not as convienient for visiting Paris, but price and closeness to transportation a real plus

“Service was pleasant and helpful, next door to the subway (RER)- but a ways out. Room was good -about a 3* in USA. Would stay there again. Bakery and grocery store next door as well as a few resturants.”

• Very convenient to a metro station, grocery, and several places to eat.
• It was just outside the city zone for metro stations, so we had to pay extra to get the train into Paris every time we came or went.

“This hotel has an extremely convenient placement among a market, pastry shop, sandwich shop and Italian restaurants. However, I wish I had known that it was just one stop outside the city zone for the metro stations. It was still cheaper than staying in the city, but we had to buy special tickets that would put us on suburban trains...just to go ONE stop past the zone. We still saved money, the staff was friendly and bi-lingual, and the hotel was very quiet...something you DON'T get in downtown Paris--I've stayed both places.”

• Cost is low!!!
• Where is the shower curtains? Where is the fridge? Where is the A/C?

“Overall, this hotel is nice esp for the price I paid for. Location is a little bit off but its only 10 minutes away from Champ D'Elysee via RER. Staff is helpful and great. However, there is no shower curtains in the bathroom, water easily splashes out everywhere meaning the use of all the available towels. No fridge in the room makes the supermarket downstairs not much of use if you're staying on Sunday and bank holidays. Its April and the room is freaking hot! I wonder what happens where summer comes around. Where is the A/C?”

• Friendly
• I didn't realize I would have to pay for parking at a hotel that I had already booked, that was quiet upsetting.

“Hotel was fine, there was a strong smell of oranges in the hallways of the 6th floor (where I stayed) which was a bit obnoxious I believe it was some kind of carpet cleaner. Other then that and having to pay for parking the hotel was nice.”

“This was a great hotel. The staff very helpful, rooms big (by EU standards) and clean. The only problem it did not have a coffee maker in the room and the 220v plug in the Bathroom did not work. Its a good location.”
