Hôtel Mercure Toulon la Seyne-Sur-Mer

The staff are great-from the guys and lady who man the bar to the front of house ladies as well as the very thorough and hard working cleaning lady. They are always working and have good communication with each other and with guests. The pool is an oasis in the city and never too crowded. The drinks are varied and well made. We ate in Don Pepe three times and one of us always had to have the carbonara because it is soooo good. More hard working staff there too. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean. I would prefer a coffee machine- a lot of four star hotels have them as well as a selection of teas. Bed is comfortable, views are great and we were asked which view we would like. All in all, this is a hotel I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. Zhe hotel is very modern, nice, spacious rooms. Very clean. The staff has been very nice and welcoming. The hotel has a fenced parking. We will cone again!

Loved my room! It was light, had a great view!had all the amenities I could ask for although the bed was a little hard. The staff was great! I recommend eating at the in-house restaurant. Their food is amazing! I recommend take the ferry, which leaves every half hour, over to Toulon where you can walk around the ancient city, shops and dine in the cafes. Now the downside, the hotel is located in an area that has gone downhill. Lots of shops were closed and had moved away to a different part of town. There were groups/gangs of men hanging about at the numerous bars drinking and being very loud. I saw two abandoned cars that had been burned down to a melted mass just sitting there. The hotel has a large metal grate/fence around it with a private gate to enter and exit. When I asked for a restaurant recommendation the front desk associate said to only go to the restaurant in the hotel.Honestly, if this hotel was in a better part of town I’d stay there for all my business needs, but I don’t really see us going back again.

Business trip for two nights. Shame about the lack of Bar Staff in the evenings. When having evening meetings over a drink it is annoying to have to go to the reception to get some service at the bar !

Unbelievably disappointed with this hotel and a majority of its staff. We experienced a tragic void of cleanliness, professionalism and hospitality during our entire stay at the Mercure Hotel in Toulon, France. Unfortunately, our fruitless attempts to resolve these issues directly with on-site management (which does not exist) and corporate personnel (impossible to contact) leave us feeling violated of our dignity and robbed of our time and money. We hope the following information will help others in the future, including travelers, hospitality staff, Sébastien Bazin, Gilles Pélisson, and the like. CLEANLINESS: Upon our arrival, we could literally see dust and dirt on all of the shelves, counter tops, balconies and floors of the hotel and room. Even the carpet in the room was so dirty it stained the bottom of our clean socks. The toilet room smelled bad, like, well, a used toilet. We politely asked for it to be cleaned, however, no one ever came, not even to freshen up the room at any point during our stay. COMFORT: The air conditioning did not work in our room, ever. When we spoke to the front desk staff about the sweltering temperature of 90 degrees F in our room (even though the thermostat read 16 C) and were informed to “leave the room for awhile to let it work”. We left at 3:30PM and returned at 11PM to a less sweltering temperature of 85 degrees F in our room. We asked staff member available, Alexi/Alex at the front desk, if he could fix the thermostat. He begrudgingly came to take a look and was profusely sweating after one minute in the room. He could not turn on the air conditioning even though the thermostat read the same 16C. He said we could open the window, but that would just let in the bugs in and turn off the air completely. He also suggested we leave the room to wait 15 minutes for it to turn on…? Given that that strategy did not work when suggested earlier, we asked for a different room with working air conditioning. He laughed at us and said no because it would not make his manager happy. We said we would happily speak to the manager about the issue and he laughed again, said no, and stated management is not available on the weekends. We then asked for some sort of a solution and Alexi/Alex appeared annoyed and said “there is nothing to be done” and that he had to get back to his “other duties” at the hotel. Turns out it was actually the end of his shift and he did not want to stay any longer that his end time to deal with this problem. We noted that the sheets and bedding were surprisingly all polyester, which doesn’t breathe like cotton, and acts like a heat conductor and made it more difficult to achieve sleep. He laughed again and said all the rooms are the same and there is nothing to be done. We went back to the front desk to ask for help from the next staff member and found that the only person available was a very kind, intelligent security guard named Cherkre(sp?). He informed us that he is actually employed by a
