Find the Cheap Poulainville Hotels

We stayed at this hotel on our way back home from the South and had booked just minutes before arrival late at night. What a pleasant surprise. The lady at check-in was very friendly and helpful and we managed to settle down very quickly in new, very clean, spacious and modern rooms with excellent beds. The breakfast in the morning was also excellent and we enjoyed the whole atmosphere in the hotel. When we had just been back on the highway, we realized that we had forgotten four rings in the bathroom, called the reception immediately and they were so kind to check for us and secure the rings. They were sent back to us without any hassle. That is what I call excellent customer service. Thank you again for your help and understanding. I can only recommend this hotel as a haven to relax and enjoy and we will come back on our travels through France.

The only thing disappointing me was that the hotel number provided by Trip.com was incorrect. I nearly missed the checkin time as I couldn’t ring them.

Several years have elapsed (and Covid) since our last visit to the Mercure Cathéderale hotel in Amiens. Apart from being a fantastic hotel in an equally fantastic location, our prime reasons for returning were a) the excellent crêperies, b) the Hortillonnages waterways and c) the Macarons d’Amiens (Jean Trogneux). Being centrally located, one of the very useful features was the proximity of the underground car park in rue des Huchers. We paid €29 for a 7-day ticket which was exceptional value. Reception staff (Célestine, Olga & Adam) were very friendly and helpful on arrival as well as during our four-day stay. The hotel reservation was made directly on the Accor web site (membership benefits) and breakfast was included in the price. Breakfast was a delight - literally was everything you could wish for, and more. Amiens is a beautiful city with lots of “must-see” attractions – we had previously been to the Maison de Jules Verne (excellent) as well as the Hortillonnages, but always good for a return visit. This time we did some prior research regarding the local Amétis bus service and routes with the intention of visiting the tomb of Jules Verne in the Cimetière de la Madeleine as well as the Zoo d'Amiens. Armed with the timetables for each route we traversed the city with ease. Each day we spent just over £5 on bus fares (two persons and two journeys). Both venues were equally impressive. Returning to my own car on departure one has to be aware of the rather strange priorities in town/city centres, such that cars travelling on what would appear to be a side-road have priority over those on the main road (priorité à droite). The image I attached shows the Audi car leaving the underground car park and having priority over the traffic on the main road (rue Flatters). Bit bizarre, but worth being aware of. If you are thinking of visiting Amiens in the Autumn be aware of the impressive son-et-lumière display at the Cathédrale Notre-Dame which is usually around Sept-Nov time. An evening well worth spending in the centre of Amiens.

LOCATION: Ideal. I arrived by train and it was about 5 minutes walk down the same street, nice and flat for the wheelie case. Lots of local sights within easy walking distance including the cathedral (France's largest, twice as big as Notre Dame in Paris), Jules Verne Museum and the incredible Musée de Picardie. APARTMENT: When I entered, I was blown away by the superb views over Amiens including the the cathedral spires from both the sitting room and bedroom windows. The apartment was spacious, clean, quiet and had everything needed. STAFF: Amiable and helpful VALUE: Outstandingly good.

Going out to play with two friends, living in a triple room, the room is relatively small, there is no space except for the bed, if you bring a suitcase, the suitcase may not fit. A double bed and a single bed, the bed of the single bed is placed in the wardrobe. After watching the horror movie at night, it was more thrilling. Overall, it was relatively clean and not far from the train station. But the switch of the appliance was not inserted through the card, but a switch on the bedside, and then it was powered up. There was no instructions. I looked for it for a long time. After asking the staff, I looked for another half day.

The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable and is very comfortable. The room was basic but clean, and the simple breakfast, but enough to start the day. Good price-quality ratio, I will return without hesitation.
