Hôtel Mercure Roscoff Bord de Mer

Lovely refurbished hotel. Brilliant room with great view. Not sure we needed to be given an accessible room, though.

An excellent hotel in which my wife and I stayed the night before we took the ferry to the UK and again four weeks later when we returned to Roscoff. The reception staff were efficient and friendly: the room we had with a view across the sea was superb. So far as we concerned this is the best place in which to stay when visiting Roscoff.

We were in Roscoff for just one night for our wedding anniversary, having arrived on the overnight ferry from Plymouth. The hotel was in a great location in the heart of the town and easy walk to local restaurants, bars and shops. Despite it being a Sunday, there was plenty of things to look at while we waited for check in. We'd booked a Superior room with Balcony as a treat and we weren't disappointed. The room was fairly small, but the bathroom was a good size and very nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. The balcony isn't massive, but spacious enough for the table and two chairs and we enjoyed sitting out there in the late afternoon, and a wonderful breakfast on there in the morning. The view is fantastic and the sunsets and sunrises are stunning. We went to sleep with the curtains drawn back so we could gaze at the stars and the door to the balcony open for a gentle sea breeze. Bliss. Every member of staff we met was warm and welcoming - easily switching into English at the first hint of our terrible (but we do try!) French. Happy to recommend and book restaurants for dinner as the hotel doesn't provide this. But we also enjoyed a drink at the bar on arrival and that was very pleasant. As we were booked on the return afternoon ferry we were also offered the option of a late checkout as the hotel wasn't full for the next night. We would happily return for another short break - Roscoff and the surrounding area is very pretty and if you enjoy walking then it is a great location.
