Mercure Poitiers Site du Futuroscope

**Review for Hotel Jules Verne** I recently stayed at Hotel Jules Verne and had a pleasant experience overall. The rooms are compact but very clean and well-maintained. However, I did encounter an issue with the air conditioning. While it was functional, it was clearly not in the best condition, which could be a problem during hotter days. The Wi-Fi at the hotel is surprisingly good, especially by French standards, which made it easy to stay connected during my stay. The reception staff speak excellent English, making check-in and any inquiries smooth and hassle-free. On the other hand, the breakfast staff do not speak English, which might be a bit challenging for non-French speakers. Breakfast is priced at €13.50 per person and, while it's decent, it's not particularly impressive. It's sufficient for a quick meal to start the day but don't expect a lavish spread. Overall, Hotel Jules Verne is a good option for a one-night stay. It offers the basic amenities you need with friendly service, despite a few minor shortcomings.

Nice stay overall. Staffs were polite, room was clean and beds comfy. Air conditioner worked fine. Breakfast with fresh local produce, in a large dining hall with 180 degree view. For a 4-star hotel, amenities were limited by US /Asia standards: no slippers, no toothbrush /paste nor body soap. I paid 14 euros for a few small bottles of water. If you are coming by train to visit the amusement park, definitely use the luggage transfer service at train station. Just drop your bags there and go straight to the park. They'll move the luggage to the hotel, which is a good 20-25 minute away by foot.

The Hotel is not really nearby the futuroscope, 15-20min walk. I guess its ok in summer, but with kids in winter, if you dont have a car, its a nightmare. Also the hotel service is very basic, one person for the entire hotel reception. The rooms need refurbishment, and the only restaurant in it, is catastrophic. The management seriously needs to take a notebook and travel abroad to understand how bad it compares with almost anything, anywhere else in the world.
