Reviews of Mercure Albi Rives du Tarn 4 stars

Nice location (easy to reach by car with own parking and also close to the city center with beautiful view from the bar or restaurant). Friendly staff and well equiped rooms.

The decoration is somewhat sterile

What a view !

We stayed as a stop over on our way back home to Portugal. It was just was we needed after a long frustrating road trip. Reception was friendly and fast. Parking is to be booked and was easy to get to, right at the side of the hotel. Very stunning location with lovely views of the river. Not all rooms have views (you get what you pay for!) but I appreciated how quiet was ours which was at the back facing the courtyard of the front of the hotel. We found the bed very comfortable. It is dog friendly, and there is a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the old city are superb, where you can chill and have a very decently priced meal (and you can take your dog with you to eat outdoors). Their trio of sorbets is out of this world! From the hotel, it is a 10-15 minute walk over the old bridge to explore the old town. We didn't breakfast there but wished we had spent an extra night. For the price of our room, it was one of the best places we stayed in years.

Our room was indeed a bit small even to stretch our tired muscles after our long car trip. We had to take turns! So we will upgrade next time we go through Albi!

Fantastic location

Great location, restaurant on site offering a good choice of good quality meals, good wine list. Coffee and water available in reception

We stayed in a room with a view of the river and the cathedral and I am not exaggerating when I say it truly is a marvellous view: the pink cathedral of Albi rises majestically over the river bank, dwarfing all other buildings and magically changing colour as the Sun moves across the sky. The room itself was not very big but sufficient for a short stay. The hotel's public areas boast a gorgeous bar, with a balcony overlooking the river, and a ground-floor restaurant, as well as a lovely small garden and a car park.

While the room was comfortable and reasonably well-appointed, we felt that it lacked charm and that it could definitely do with some basic redecorating to match the stylish aesthetics of the bar area.

Location excellent great access to all areas

Room was a bit on the small size but perfect for our stay.

We had a river view room. The room was very comfortable. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Breakfast was included - all you need to start the day. Location was great. Walking distance to Albi old town with its magnificent cathedral. There is a little bus that can take you up hill if necessary. We could the walk easy - we are in our 70’s.

N/a

this is a very well located hotel with a beautiful river view. The hotel breakfast is excellent, and the staff was very friendly. The bartender was also very knowledgeable and made great suggestions for an awesome deconstructed gin and tonic.

we were on the fourth floor room where the air conditioning was basically at the entrance to the room, but the room was U-shaped, so the air did not reach us even when it was set to very cold. We were very hot at night and there was no way for the air to flow even when the fan was at its highest speed. it was so hard that we could not sleep under the down comforter they have, which is the only option they offer to sleep in. We did ask them just for some sheets because it was so hot in there and they did bring those to us. Otherwise it would have been a great experience.

Beautiful hotel in superb location right on the Tarn overlooking Old town

Nothing comes to mind.

Room 210 had windows on two sides and a great view, but the windows were low, so it was just the right size to see it from the bed. Water was provided from the water dispenser in a bottle borrowed from the front desk. Breakfast was served on the terrace while enjoying the view. Simple and decent, but no vegetables.

Wifi is a bit weak.

Location and views

Nothing. But hard to park large cars!

Location close to city. Lovely view of the river. Good secure on-site parking. Breakfast included. Dinner on the terrace was very pleasant.

Very dated with peeling paintwork, windowsill in room and corridors badly scratched. Room was too warm as airco did nothing. With window open much cooler but the noise of the weir was deafening. Large group of bikers in breakfast area on first day so it was really noisy and most of the items had gone.

Location

Sometimes, but not generally, the food could be improved.

Great location on the riverside, just over the old bridge.

Renovations underway during my visit.

Fantastic view of Albi. Hotel was being renovated so reception area was a mess. It's an renovated old mill and it seems the walls and floor are not soundproof. We could hear other guests and running water from their shower.

Despite alterations being done to extend the hotel. It was comfortable and very pleasant with a fabulous location. Good for coeliacs.

Great location and able to park you car. Comfortable beds.

The breakfast is very basic and no variety. The rooms are noisy and hot during the night. Do not open the window because the water of the river nearby makes you crazy
