Hotel De Bourbon Grand Hotel Mercure Bourges

The garden is a hidden gem. The breakfast spread was great, showcasing a range of delicious local treats. The location makes it easy to pop into the old town for authentic French cuisine at nearby spots like Le Marmiton Berrichon and Les 3 P'tits Cochons.

Unfortunately, , many restaurants were closed, limiting options. The hotel's own restaurant wasn't open either, which seemed like a missed opportunity.

Charming experience in a historic setting

The breakfast buffet was really good, with local treats and ample options.

Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our room didn't cool down as expected. The restaurant menu was somewhat limited .

This hotel was just a great match for getting around Bourges at a reasonable price. The garden area was surprisingly quiet. Make sure to book a table for dinner when you check-in to avoid disappointment.

ideal base for exploring charming bourges and its lovely parks

my first visit to bourges was made perfect by the beautiful building and superb food, not to mention the lovely nearby gardens like jardins des pres fichaux, where i enjoyed a relaxing stroll just a few steps from the hotel, making it a relaxing escape after my adventures in the city while the friendly staff ensured i felt at home throughout my stay.

The hotel is beautifully decorated, with a lovely outdoor seating area perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening drinks. Having private parking right outside was a major plus, and the amazing smell of the shower gel really stood out! While the bedroom was a bit compact, it was comfy and clean, and just a nice quick walk away from the historical sites in the old town, including the stunning Cathedral. I did run into some issues with the lift access, which wasn’t very convenient after a long day exploring.

The breakfast buffet is a standout. I've never seen such a spread with charcuterie and gourmet cheeses. The garden provides a surprise retreat.

The room size can be unexpectedly small, which might feel crowded for those used to more space, especially considering the price. There were also some noisy moments during the day that disturbs the tranquility, but it quiets down at night. Lastly, being turned away from the restaurant due to full capacity was a letdown.

Do recommend for spending night

It was great with its cozy lobby and gorgeous dining room for breakfast. The beautiful garden provided the perfect retreat after exploring bourges.

the air conditioning didn't cool as expected.

A beautiful building with local charm, with a cozy lobby and a fine dining area for breakfast. The breakfast had a large selection with excellent coffee. While the room was quite nicely finished, it could have benefited from a bit more space for relaxation beyond the bed. The evening restaurant was closed, unfortunate, though the staff offered thoughtful alternatives nearby.

Clean room and secure parking. The restaurant was closed Sunday night, disappointing.
