This **** hotel has an ideal location in central Perpignan…read more The staff are friendly and helpful and are available 24 hours a day. Breakfast is ample and offers a good variety of fare including hot and cold choices, served in the 1st floor dining area. The area is also the hotel bar and is laid out around the feature staircase down to the tiny central foyer. The breakfast buffet area can become somewhat cramped at busier times. The rooms are adequate but not what I would call 4 star. Though clean and tidy and offering a well stocked mini-bar and coffee and tea making facilities they are somewhat 'tired'. My bathroom was in need of renovation. The shower head refused to stay put and always slipped, giving the wall a better shower than me. There were also dirty gaps between the tiles around the bath/shower and some mould. The usual supply of bathroom products was fine, as was the linen. My bed was a too soft for my taste, but none the less comfortable and well presented. I was lucky to have a working safe in my room, though other members of my party had no safe or a non-working safe, hotel information does indicate that all rooms have safes. The tariff is very competitive and I would consider staying here again, though I'm sure there must be better 4 star hotels in this city, but doubt that on price and value this Mercure hotel would be beaten. To sum up, I give this hotel 4, I'd like to give 3.5 but cannot do that on Yelp, so I give 4 stars because of the staff who were all a credit to the establishment.

I felt we had left on bad terms after our first visit 12 months ago. After thoroughly enjoying our…read morelunch (including a ludicrously generous cheese course) we had had to rush away to keep at an appointment at one of the many nearby vigneron rather than linger over a digestif. We were therefore delighted to be able to return a month ago, this time to stay as well as dine. Being a Sunday (and just out of season) we were the hotel's sole residents. At dinner we also dined alone. This could have felt awkward. However, our charming host provided just the right level of service making the evening feel special rather than odd. The food remained excellent - simple but beautifully prepared and the wine list read like a greatest hits of all of the region's top names. Our room was also perfectly pleasant with plenty of space to relax and a good sized balcony for al fresco lounging. Free WiFi was on hand to keep you connected with the rest of the world - a big plus. So nice in fact that a return visit is now looking more than likely in another 12 months or so.
