If you're looking to spend a few days in the Loire Valley and want to escape the busy towns, Blois is the place. Quiet enough to make it peaceful but plenty of great places to eat and drink. However, watch out for Sun and Mon nights - many places are closed. After being a bit surprised at the lack of... More

Modern hotel in a nice and convenient location in front of the Loire river. Unfortunately, this hotel is not 4* worth. Probably more on the 3* side. Hotel rating has recently changed in France and can drive to disappointment. Some 2* are now 3* and 3* are now 4*. The room was really average and dusty. The welcome letter from... More

We stayed for a night and were insofar pleasantly surprised that the Mercure Blois Centre as part of a chain was rather comfortable and catered for all needs for one night. However, the service at the bar in the evening and during breakfast was slow and generally poor. Staff did not seem to be interested in their guests, maybe because... More

We stayed 4 nights on a visit to the Loire region. The location is great overlooking the Loire and within walking distance of all the tourist attractions in Blois. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The shower/ bath was awkward to access because the bathroom was dominated by an oversized sink unit. However the room was clean and quiet. The... More

We stayed at the Hotel Mercure Blois Centre in a “Duplex Privilege Room with a double bed, sofa and balcony overlooking Quai Saint Jean.” This room appeared intriguing when... More

We loved this hotel. the location is great, the staff were tremendous and the restaurant was really good. we had a lovely meal here and we would definitely go back. the pool is great and the room was perfect for what we need.

We stayed for three nights to do some touring of the area. Our family room was big enough and had a small frige and coffee/tea making facilities. The bathroom was large and glamorous. We ate at the restaurant 2x and found it good. Don't get too excited about the pool or jacuzzi - they were both cold. Only my daughter... More

I'm not an professional reviewer and I don't want to spend half an hour writing about our one night stay in Blois. But if you need an hotel, you won't regret staying in Mercure. Very, very nice room, nice people, good service, good food.
