Hôtel Mercure Cherbourg Centre Port

Guests praise the friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and convenient location near attractions. The hotel offers well-equipped fitness room, spacious, clean rooms, and good soundproofing. Easy access to the new walk bridge.

It was very handy having free car parking for this hotel. We were upgraded for free to a junior suite on the 5th floor which had fantastic views over the Bassin du Commerce. It was a good base to visit Cherbourg before returning to the UK by ferry. The location was a short walk from the fantastic fish restaurant we had booked (Le Clopoing) and which we could also see from our suite. Being a large corner room, we had good floor space, an excellent shower and large bed. Our only comment would be the quirky layout of the toilet being around the corner from the bathroom and sink.

We spent one night in this hotel before taking the ferry back to Ireland. The hotel has reserved parking and is ideally located being very close to the ferry terminal while at the same time within easy walking distance of the town centre (with excellent shopping). in addition, just accross the square from the hotel there was a Carrefour Hypermarket so we were able to top up our supplies of beer, wine and other necessities. We were welcomed to the hotel by very friendly and helpful staff at reception who indicated where we could get a small meal close by as it was just outside the normal period for lunch. We stayed in a Junior Suite on the sixth floor which had an excellent view of the inner port area, where a nice Swedish sailing ship was berthed, as well as a view over the city centre. The room was comfortable with plenty of power points, comfortable bed and good shower. As we were tired, we decided to dine in the hotel restaurant that evening where we had a nice relaxing meal. All in all this was a most enjoyable experience.
