Hôtel Mercure

My fiancé and I stayed at Hotel Mercure from December 28 through January 1 and for the most part, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Pros:
The check in process was very smooth and the staff at the front desk was very friendly.
Breakfast was included with our booking and I thought it was fabulous.
It was a quick walk to Place d’Italie.
Towel warmer in the bathroom was a very nice touch.
I also enjoyed the bath tub. It was nice to soak in a hot bath after sightseeing in the cold all day.
Our room was clean and comfortable.
Very reasonably priced.
Cons:
The standard hotel room was small, but we were aware of this prior to check in so not a big deal.
There was no coffee maker in the room. Only instant coffee, which was not to my liking.
Not many great food choices around the hotel.
Our whole floor had a cigarette odor that was not appealing.
There are stains on the carpets everywhere.
Conclusion:
Will I stay at Hotel Mercure Gobelins Place d’Italie again? Probably not, but I am willing to give the other Hotel Mercures a try. For what we paid, the hotel was just what we needed. A place to shower, sleep and use WiFi.

Stayed here in winter when the prices are much more reasonable for Paris.
A little out of the way from the main tourist areas of Paris, however this hotel is located directly between two very convenient Metro stops: Corvisart and Place d’Italie, which made connections anywhere in Paris relatively easy.
It’s proximity to Place d’Italie meant an enormous variety of local restaurants to suit almost any taste. There’s actually a very nice small Indian restaurant just around the corner, Kannimaaraa, with a friendly staff (though the chai was pretty so-​so).
Though close to Place d’Italie and sitting on the large Bd Auguste Blanqui, the windows provided exceptional quiet. The room was small, as is typical of European hotels, but nicely furnished. Typical Hotel Mercure modern-​style. I didn’t opt for a large suite, and the standard room was sufficient with a view out onto the little Rue du Moulin des Pres.
The lobby is quite nice and there is a small bar next to the lobby for a glass or two of wine. The staff was as friendly as Parisian staff get, sometimes a warm ‘bonjour,’ other times a blank stare. The only issue I had with the hotel was at the check-​in. I had paid for breakfast with the room, but initially the clerk said they had no evidence of that. After a long flight, longer delays, and having the Eurostar break down halfway to Paris, I was in no mood to argue at the time. But the next day it had all been cleared up by the time I approached the front desk.
The continental breakfast was sadder than most. Limited, which I’m used to, but the croissants tasted stale and the coffee was horrendous. Only the yogurt managed to make the meal manageable. Next time I would skip the hotel breakfast as there are a number of places directly adjacent and on the Place to get a quick cup of café and a croissant.
NOTE: Just in front of the hotel is held the local street market usually twice a week (at least in winter) where you can buy all sorts of food to stock up on in your hotel room. Alas, there is no fridge in the room however. Sadness! My suggestion would be to get up one morning, get yourself one of those magnificent roast chickens and potatoes, wrap it up, and save it for a later lunch. Also once a week is a flea market where you can pick up odds and ends.
There is also an indoor mall on the Place to find all kinds of items… if you like malls.

Kleines Hotel direkt an der Metro, deshalb gut zu erreichen. Zimmer sauber und zweckmäßig. Frühstück nicht sehr reichhaltig aber ok

Nettes kleines und sauberes Hotel in Paris.
Zur Metro ca. 3 min zu Fuß.
Viele nette restaurants in der Nähe.
Freundliche rezeption.
An den sehr modernen Frühstücksraum muß man sich gewöhnen.
Auswahl ist ok. Zimmer zum Hof ruhiger, ber nicht so netter Ausblick.

Très Bön Hotel
Personnel très acceuillant et aux petits soins. L’hotel est très bien situé à deux pas de la station de métro place d’Italie desservant le tout Paris. Un centre commercial à deux pas, avec cinéma, boutiques et restaurants. Un quartier sympa et très animé. L’hotel est très facile d’accés. La chambre, même si elle n’est pas aux dimensions démesurées reste douillette et chaleureuse avec son grand lit, son grand placard de rangement et son épaisse moquette. La salle de bain est par contre assez étroite avec tout de même une baignoire. Ma chambre donnait coté rue et c’est assez bruilllant surtout en semaine mais, celà né m’a pas empêché de passer de très bonnes nuits de sommeil car la circulation s’estompe durant la nuit (on est quand même au centre de Paris alors, ça circule pardi !). Il y a également un marché deux ou trois jours par semaine juste devant l’hotel (vendredi et dimanche sûrs). J’ai pris le petit déjeuner en chambre pour 15 euros: 3 viennoiseries, un petit pain, confiture, beurre, fruit, yaourt nature, jus de fruit et boissson chaude au choix. Même si cela peut paraître un peu onéreux, j’ai pour ma part trouvé le petit déjeuner assez complet pour démarrer la journée le ventre plein et quel bonheur de prendre son p’ti dèj dans sa chambre. J’ai très apprécié mon séjour de 4 nuits dans cet hotel qui fait désormais parti des mes hotels favoris à Paris. Je reviendrai sans hésiter et avec beaucoup de plaisir.
