Regresando de Paris en la primavera de 2005 nos toco alojarnos en el hotel Mercury de Angouleme, que experiencia por Dios, primero los ascensores no servian y toco subir el equipaje hasta el cuarto piso por las escaleras, la habitacion que ers para dos personas y solo habia una gran cama king y un sofa cama, en el restaurante se tardaron demasiado en servir la comida, que por cierto estaba fria, y para terminar el hotel esta en medio de la carretera detras de un centro comercial y para llegar al mac donals del centro comercial hay que subir una pequeña colina, una estadia nada agradable

Stayed one night on a business trip, I really enjoyed the hotel location in the heart of the old town with wonderful walks around the old streets and town walls. The hotel car park is convenient as parking there can be a real problem, however they charge eur 8 per day which is a bit expensive for a small town. The building is really nice, an old building of white stones, with stylish reception and restaurant. Small private garden. My room was a bit disappointing for a 3 star hotel of this price. Comfortable and clean, but old and not big. Poor mattress, small bathroom. I had specifically requested a quiet room on the back and confirmed this when I checked in, to which I was told I had been given a quiet room, only to discover that my window gave on the busy street in front of the hotel. My impression was that the room needed some refurbishment and a new bed. Ordinary old blanket of brown wool did not look very nice and clean. Not what I expected for this price.

A delightful town and hotel. I stayed at Mercure Angouleme last year. The hotel staff is very helpful, competent and friendly -- family like atmosphere. The hotel doesn't have alot of extra frills but serves a very good breakfast. The hotel is walking distance to the train (albeit hilly) and is nestled in with several delightful shops and restaurants. A quick train ride from Paris, this is a great place to visit. Two thumbs up.

Stayed two nights at this hotel last month (May '03) and had a delightful time. At the last minute we added a night one day earlier because of the announced strike (we were coming down from Paris). No problems with this at all. Our room was spacious - with a nice bathroom and a wonderful view over the roof tops of Angouleme. Best of all was the very friendly, service-oriented staff who cheerfully helped us with several things during our two day stay- holding packages, making reservations, taking pictures, etc. Another plus for this hotel is its location - in the heart of Angouleme AND literally just across the street from the large indoor town market. Even though breakfast was included with our room, we couldn't resist walking across the street in the morning to savor fresh pastries and cafe creme and marvel over all the extraordinarliy beautiful displays of fresh produce, meats, and fish and watch the citizens of Angouleme doing their daily marketing. Loved it!
