Had a terrible night at the Mercure Lisieux in October 2012. The staff was very friendly, but everything else was a nightmare. There was no ventilation, at least on the third floor, which they call the attic rooms. That meant opening the window with no screen to deal with bugs or deal with the stifling heat. And this was in... More

Stayed here on an overnight stop between Calais and Brittany. Standard Mercure quality, not unreasonably priced, but an outstanding restaurant. We sat out alongside the (rather small) swimming pool and had a fantastic meal before calling it a night. It is a fair distance from Lisieux itself, so only really good as a stopover, and the rooms are very hot.... More

Very grateful to find a room here late one evening on a bank holiday weekend. Room clean but rather tired. Bed comfortabl and good shower. Staff polite and helpful. BUT the food was the worst I have experienced in a long time. Had the Menu du Jour. Starter OK; jambon de pay and feta cheese - not much to go... More

Third Accor hotel of our trip. The most important thing to note is that there's no air conditioning - an assumption we made that we lived to regret in a heat wave.There is an unheated outside pool however. The rooms are a litte tired in some ways but the mattresses are very comfortable which for me with a bad back... More

The Mercure Lisieux is about 2kms east of the town centre so not convenient for Lisieux visiting but ok for a stopover. The rooms are clean but a bit 1980's or 90's and it is of course part of the huge Accor chain so therefore corporate in its approach. The dining room is supposed to be an old garden with... More

Mercure is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Other reviews here don't look too good. I disagree and I'll tell you why. I was on an extended trip with my elderly mother. First stop was the mercure hotel in Lisieux. We were so pleased with them we stayed at their hotels throughout France, Austria and northern Italy. We stayed... More

We have just stayed in this hotel as part of a planned trip to the Basilica on our way back from SW France. I use Accor hotels all the time, both in the UK and in France and this was one of the poorest I have known. Let's start with the positives, the staff are friendly and the meal in... More

In itself, the room wasn't that bad, apart from the fact that the decor is really outdated (I could have sworn they had borrowed tiles from a McDonald's bathroom to place in their bathroom) and that we couldn't find the nob to turn down the thermostat of the room, which was on in may. Appart from that, the room was... More
