Mercure Paris Val de Fontenay

Great stay - reception staff friendly. Excellent location next to RER. Would stay again

.

We stayed here for 5nights. The location is in between the the main city and Disneyland that's why we booked here. The val de fontenay train station is just beside the hotel and there is the auchan mall beside. The hotel location was good,however maybe because it is Paris?that the surrounding areas like the sidewalk/alleys were not maintained and there's some homeless people around/behind the mall and hotel. There's bldgs beside the hotel that looks nice but on the ground it's just the unkempt and sketchy passersby that made it a bit scary walking at night. The climate controlled A/C which uses Eberle KLR switch is not very helpful or maybe A/C in Paris are made that way. We have to keep the windows open otherwise it gets hot even on a 20°C weather. The airconditioning needs some revamp/modernization. The whole room has 4lampshades with warm yellow lighting and no main light in ceiling. So the room is bit dark. So for make-ups I use the toilet because there's more light in the toilet with bright white lights. There's blow dryer, phone, tv, safe box, complimentary tea&coffee and a kettle. No microwave or mini ref nor free toothpaste/toothbrush. There's a very good hair and body soap that smells nice. There's bath tub and shower. Toilet is fairly clean, nice and bright. The down point of this hotel is the surroundings, the poorly lit room.the staff often just comes inside without knocking and that's really weird and off.we didn't put the signage to clean but they just come in

The staff was very courteous and kind. Enjoyed my stay. Room was amazing

Bathrooms smell like mildew ventalation doesnt work in most of rooms. So if you shower it makes mildew smell worse. Mattresses are hard as rock and very stained up. Room 701 matress looks blood stained. Hotel right next to train tracks and city bus depot. Shopping mall 5 min walk away.
