Great location up high on the hill. Lovely pool. The surprise welcome drink was appreciated. Bar service was slow. The reception team spoke good English but bar and restaurant was difficult to communicate with. Bathrooms needed a refurbishment. All as to be expected though.

Best Hotel in St Denis
A very enjoyable stay. Excellent facilities. A great pool and wonderful panorama view of the sea and St Denis. Only slight criticism was price of meals and drinks but part of this stems from the dreadful exchange rates we get for our English pounds.

Would stay again.
Hotel was very nice. The staff were more than helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent and also the wine. I would stay here again for sure. They provide a free shuttle bus into town and to/from the airport. They also took care of booking me a hire car which was very cheap. The view is great and the pool is fantastic. Its a nice place to relax. Yes the rooms are a bit dated but they were clean. No iron in room. Ordering food and drink in Restaurant/bar can be a bit slow. Slower than what i am accustomed to. So you do need to be patient and not in a hurry.

dated rooms
Hotel pretends to be 4*, standard rooms are however 2*, pool 4* so maybe average can climb up to 3*. Rooms are waiting to be updated, and for 2 decades now. Airport shuttle is most useful as a taxi costs 25-30e, however take into account that the shuttle runs only 9AM-5PM.

Convenient hotel with great view and good service
We only stayed one night to get to the airport early the next morning, without too much traffic. The location is great with a view over the city to the distant sea, but there are no restaurants or shops around. So we had dinner at the hotel, next to the pool area, which was okay, nothing too exciting. We had a premium room on the top floor with a great view, massive bathroom (shower over bath) and the room was of a reasonable size, too. Would stay there again.

Quiet location but a little too far from town
Overall room was clean but small, no window; only a small door to the balcony. Air con blew hot air across the balcony so not very comfortable. Food was ok, pool is nice. Important to note that free airport shuttle is only available from 9 to 5 but there are daytime shuttles to town. I needed to insist on having them take us to the airport to catch our flight which was outside of this time frame based on the information on Expedia's website of free airport shuttle.

Aftershave and tobacco stench
We were staying just one night and despite not being full we were put into the smallest, smelliest room in the hotel. The room smelt of aftershave and clearly someone had been smoking in there, although it was a non smoking room. The bathroom was in DIRE need of a refurbishment.....plug for bath detached and didn't fit, panel wonky, shower screen rubber hanging off.....shall I continue? The room was cramped and had a view of a car park which was very very disappointing as the location was the main reason we booked here. What was worst was the attitude of the staff on the desk, one of which seemed more interested in her smartphone.....which shows a real lack of interest in service, and her manager clearly was indifferent to her behaviour. I didn't complain as we arrived late and had an early morning flight. I have stayed at Mecure many times so have high expectations, hence the review.....and will be placing a similar one on Tripadvisor shortly, although I will wait to hear your response as I would like the payment refunded as I feel so strongly about being let down.

Great pool!
Awesome view from the pool! Not a great local area as a bit of a drive to hotels and cafés but good Mercure type hotel. Room smelled a little musty so I aired it out when I got there. Staff very friendly and meets the expectations for a Mercure level hotel.
