JJames DobleI recently stayed at the Hôtel de Bourbon (the Mercure one) in Bourges, and honestly, it felt like stepping into a little piece of history while still having all the modern comforts you could want.
My room was a classic double, spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bed was excellent—properly supportive after a day of wandering around—and the bathroom had a great walk-in shower with good water pressure. Everything felt freshly renovated (they did a big update around 2018), with a nice blend of modern touches and the old abbey character. Some rooms overlook the park, which must be lovely in summer.
GGuest UserExceptional , Very kind and helpfull staff, Rooms and facilities are clean and very well maintained. very nicce swimming pool, although the weather was a bit cold and windy, the pool temperature was good, the rooms are just perfect for a long stay.
HHenri F JWe had 1 night without breakfast. The room was not really spacious but for 1 night was fine. The toilet and shower were separate and the bed was nice. Parking could be under the parking.
For us, good for a night.
GGuest UserA strange smell upon entering the room. No electrical outlets at the headboard. No courtesy tray with a kettle, coffee, or tea. In the bathroom, the cups aren't vacuum-sealed. The bathtub drains poorly, and a strange smell occurs when the water runs. The same smell as upon entering the room. No air conditioning, but a fan sits on the desk. The doorbell doesn't work. As a result, the door stays open if you don't close it.
Breakfast-wise, for almost €10, you'd expect better. No omelet or grilled ham. It's really basic.
This is still a decent hotel for the price, but it deserves a refresh and some maintenance.
