Hotel De Bourbon Grand Hotel Mercure Bourges  

Beautiful building and friendly service. Rooms nicely furnished, too.

Great location and fine building

Despite checking website 24 hours before to make sure restaurants were open on the evening of our stay - when we arrived we were told that all three were shut and we were offerred sandwiches

Very comfortable, spacious room. The hotel is an attractive building close to public gardens and 10 minutes walk into the old town. Plentiful parking space.

Location and building

The pork in the meal was quite dry

Easy oarking, pleasant atmosphere, nice to have a drink ourtside, adequately comfortable.very conveniently situated and easy to find.

none. But the room has a very low window bwcause of the structure of an old converted building and it woulkd have been nice to have been offered something else.

The hotel is located in a quiet area, just outside the city centre (walking distance) in front of a beautiful riverside park and has its own garden for relaxing. The dining hall is truly amazing and the hotel hosts a gastronomic restaurant. WiFi is free and its performance is very good.

Access to the rooms in the new wing is a bit complex (two different lifts and a walkway), but in some sense that's part of the hotel fascination because it is built out of the ruins of an ancient cloister.

Well priced hotel - good for overnight stops. Car-park included.

Over-priced breakfast

We booked a standard room and found that it was clean and comfortable if a little cramped, probably due to the fact that the room was tucked under the roof. We arrived on a Sunday evening to find that the restaurant was fully booked for the evening but the very efficient receptionist directed us to the "Au Serat" restaurant in the city center, about 400m walk. This restaurant offered good food and excellent service so it was a good substitute. Overall, this hotel is a good location for a stop-off if you're travelling from the South of France to a ferry port in the north.

The breakfast is served in the Abbey restaurant and so is in very pleasant surroundings. However, it's expensive at EUR17/each. On the other hand, you can get a "fast express" breakfast for eur7. I guess that you pay your money and make your choice!

We had high expectations of this hotel which sadly let us down, we booked our evening meal but once there we had only a small choice of menu everyone else seemed to have had a fast menu but maybe it was because we had already paid for the room also they told us, although we did not quite understand , it was Friday...... We did not stay for our puddding and certainly did not have breakfast.... Apart from that the town of bourbon was a delight.

I liked leaving

We were delayed by traffic. Were told they would keep the restaurant open for us though it usually closed at 9.30. Bt when we arrived at 9.45, to be told by a slip of a girl who thought it was funny that the restaurant had closed was hard to take.

The atmosphere of the hotel and the service were very good.

Good express breakfast 7 Euros

Definitely not suitable for disabled people and the staff were not helpful.

We particularly enjoyed the St Ambroix restaurant - the mise en scene of salon, the excellent food and the good service.

I did not like having the room charge automatically debited from my credit card. In my case, because I also booked for a friend, his room was charged was debited to my card
