Hotel Mercure Parc du Coudray - Barbizon

Great location and good hotel. The interiors are pretty and decorated very thoughtfully. There are farm animals there and other activities. They have many amenities like Golf practice range, tennis and basketball court, badminton court and indoor activities like foosball and pool table along with board games and many other games for children. They even have a small fire pit that they lit at night and guests could enjoy marshmallows there. The outdoors are relaxing and a really nice pool. The bar has a good variety of drinks.

I however while booking wasn't aware I would find so many families with kids. It was a bit difficult to have silence there so not recommended for singles and couples without kids. Also, my husband and I are vegetarian so they didn't have a lot of vegetarian options in breakfast except for bread and cereals. For dinner there were almost negligible option in vegetarian food. The staff did not know what were the ingredients in the dishes and one time they told us it was a veggie sandwich which turned out to have fish. Not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Also, during check-in the staff failed to mention that guests were required to make reservation at their restaurant for lunch and dinner. We couldn't get lunch so we drove to a nearby Subway.

It is rural which suited us perfectly but also accessible from Paris.

I couldn’t take it home with me!

Great location and lovely decor. Good price for nice clean rooms

Not much direction advising of routines or systems.

Park, outdoor spaces pool spa

Much too expensive for the service provided. The rooms are average, the restaurant is good but certainly not good enough for the amounts charged, and the breakfast service is completely overwhelmed by the number of guests. Hotel guests must pay 39€ apiece to access the spa, which again is nice, but not nice enough to merit that kind of price. As a finishing touch, when we pointed out at checkout that there was a recurrent unpleasant smell in the bathroom, we were told “yes we know about that, but it’s not our responsibility”.
