Hôtel Mercure Paris Gare de l'Est Magenta

Its been a good 21 years since we last stayed in this hotel and it has been worth the wait. Arrived at this hotel from the Opera area, where we had stayed in a Best Western for two nights and it was only a steady 20 minute walk between the two. The room was clean and tidy as was the bathroom with an excellent power shower and a fridge which was a big plus. The hotel room and corridor were not as dark as it was when we first visited. The hotel was centre to where we wanted to go Sacre Coeur (20 mins) and Buttes Chaumont another 25 minutes. A good one night stay in a good hotel in a good location and with excellent staff - what more do you want. Bon journey

Within strolling distance of both Gares du Nord and de l’Est and just off Boulevard Magenta, the hotel is well positioned for arrival from CDG Airport and access to transport links to Paris’s tourist sites. Staff at the hotel were all welcoming and courteous while the room was spacious with sufficient wardrobe space to accommodate a 5 day visit. I would not hesitate to book at the hotel for any future trip.

I booked a room in this hotel for one night and it was ok for what I needed. A bed and a shower. Although very close to station, area wasn’t very pleasant. But Beware …… I booked the hotel a few days before arrival for €101 and a pre authorisation of €140 was taken and then the following day another €140 was taken. €280 in total. On checkout, I was asked to pay €101 which I did , on the promise the pre authorisation would be released. It’s now been over 10 days and €280 is still on hold and despite numerous exchanges it’s still not been sorted. Think twice before staying here.
