Hôtel Mercure Toulon la Seyne-Sur-Mer

Location is not great. Hotel average

Nice hotel, very good breakfast

From the moment we arrived, it was clear this hotel did not meet basic expectations. A vase of flowers on the front desk sat in dirty water, the lobby was cramped and uncomfortably hot, and the front desk staff were visibly sweating—an early red flag. After receiving our room keys, we walked through an equally stifling hallway and discovered there was no air conditioning in any of our rooms. We soon learned that the entire hotel's A/C system was down, making the stay nearly unbearable in the heat. The pool setup was confusing and inconvenient. Although the pool was located on the first floor and had a nearby door, guests were required to access it from the second floor and walk down stairs. Even more concerning, the bartender was so overheated that he served drinks shirtless—an unprofessional and uncomfortable experience for guests. Our group, part of a culinary tour, had reserved seven rooms. Within two hours of checking in, we informed the front desk that the conditions were unacceptable and that we would not be staying. We requested a refund, but were denied, as the hotel manager claimed that everything was “just fine.” Overall, this was a frustrating, uncomfortable, and disappointing experience. We would not recommend this hotel to others.
