Hôtel Mercure Paris 15 Porte de Versailles

The hotel was clean and on a nice street in Paris. We saw a lot of Paris that most tourists miss. Good french cusine around. The staff was pleasant, friendly and very helpful except for..... ......Linda, a lady who welcomed ?? us to the hotel.While the website said the hotel was close to the Eiffel tour it was not and Linda was, she said, too busy to help us because the hotel was big, with many guests and she couldnt spare time to explain to us how to reach the Eiffel Tower as we were interested in the open buses. She suggested we go back to the Montparnasse Station Information Centre to get what information we wanted. Luckily, a few local guys were only too happy to help and we enjoyed our daily 80/62 bus trips to the Eiffel and back. Linda, should note that she has her job only because of guests like us and it is her cardinal responsibility to help us out and to speak to guests in a kinder tone!

The hotel is lovely and clean and very modern. The breakfast was a very good choice. Not very central for sightseeing though, more for business people. When I asked for extra coffee and milk for the room they did not seem to want to give it

friendly staff, good location, modern interior design, very clean and tidy the VISA card I supplied for my booking at booking.com was charged on the first day (even prior to our arrival!), even though the card does not run on my name (it belongs to another family member who was not asked for permission by them!) and was said only to be there for guarantee purposes. When I said that I don't think this is OK they said "that's how it's done in France"....
