Mercure Vichy Thermalia

Rooms clean, quiet, warm, bathroom had bath with shower attachment. The bed was large and had spare pillows. The window was large and had thick curtains but no shutters. In winter this wasn't an issue but could be an issue in the summer with the sun waking you up early if you're a light sleeper. Breakfast was OK. Hot food was bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, baked beans, there were also cereals, various breads and croissants, flapjacks, yoghurt. The fresh fruit section was a bit simple with apple compote or oranges. But everything was well laid out. Tea coffee and fruit juice were offered along with the local bottled water.

Reception staff were welcoming and efficient. Even though I arrived earlier than expected my room was ready. The room was spacious and quiet at the rear of the hotel away from the road. I travelled by motorcycle and there was plenty of space in the room to hang my motorcycle clothing.

The room was a nice size and had a mini bar to keep my dog's food cold.

We needed a stopover on our way to the Alps from the UK and this hotel ticked all the boxes. The room was a generous size, the beds comfortable and the rainforest shower great. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming.

An "aging" building and yet large room, clean, comfortable and good sound isolation. So we slept very well and that's all that mattered to us. Vichy isn't big but the location is great still (in the center) and it has quite some space in the parking. Overall good stop over
