Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris (Eiffel Tower-Grenelle-Montparnasse) Mercure Tour Eiffel

[Guilherme Frey]

I'm very sad with the hotel they gave me. If you just read the reviews and look the pictures in TripAdvisor you can see that isn't a 4-star hotel at all.

Patience, that's the risk of the priceline system.

Cheers,

Guilherme Frey

The good news is you will have breathtaking views of Tour Eiffel every time you come and go from your hotel.

I once stayed at the Hilton next door and regardless of how many times you've seen it you can't help being awed.

A word of caution: Transportation is not the best in that neighborhood. The Metro is a couple blocks away and even then it's on an oddball line and you'll need to transfer at Etoile. If you plan to take a taxi be prepared for a long wait if it's rush hour. Most people staying at those hotels are in town for business and I started getting nervous about my morning trip to the airport when I had to wait in the taxi line for nearly 30 minutes.

The neighborhood is otherwise quiet and peaceful.

Don't despair! I've stayed both at the Mercure (all be it over 20 years ago) and

at the Hilton (now Pullman) next door a couple of years ago. The location is

great and the metro is not far. RER also is close if you want to go to Versailles.

I have seen Trip Advisor reviews for hotels I've stayed in that have made me

wonder if the person was staying in the same hotel or not. Hopefully you'll

have a great time.
