Hotel Mercure Paris Square Des Batignolles - Paris, France     

Stayed here for 1 night only, chose the hotel as they told me they had secure car parking facilities, and the web price of 110 EUROS was not excessive by Paris standards. BUT: The car park is some distance away in the basement of a seperate building, the spaces were tiny. if your car is any bigger than a Fiat 500 then you might have difficulty. to get in and out of this car park is another puzzle, you need to borrow a card from the Hotel, but you have to take this back there afterwards, there is nowhere to park outside the hotel so we caused trafic chaos whilst returning this card to the reception. The breakfast at 14 EUROS is poor, there a plenty of cafes nearby accross the railway bridge, I would reccoment going there for breakfast, as 14 EUR is a disgrace for a coffee and a croissant. The staff were very helpful and couldn't be faulted. the room was small but comfortable. the one amusing thing was that some previous guest had drunk all the spirits in the minibar and refilled the bottles with water. . . . I If you can get this hotel for a good price it is fine, you can walk to the centre of paris in 20 minutes or take a train from opposite the hotel. Nearby Place de Clichy has plenty of restaurants and bars.
