Pay for the location, not for the amenities/stay!

For someone that enjoys the proximity to the city centre & central locations, this property certainly checks the box.. and next to staff courtesy, everything good stops short (and this coming from an Accor ALL member!) Despite being put up in a so-called 'superior' category room (view from room in pic attached), the amenities were anything but.. toiletries/basics were skim (no moisturizer even), room slippers only provided in 'higher' room categories, no iron/board in room for safety reasons (although I've seen this provision in other properties as well, so not too surprised) and housekeeping was non-existent at times, when on 1-2 days, room was not even cleaned or replenished, with 0 effort to even try otherwise. For a similar (or lower) price, you're probably better off choosing Ramada next door, which offers a similar room, but with all of the amenities missing at Mercure, including much better breakfast offering :)

Good location … but !

Reception welcome was ok , room was very poor , had to change room as the entire wall of the bathroom on the bedroom side was flaking with debris on the carpet and the corner edge coming off , seems to be a water leak inside the wall . Couldn’t believe the room was even let to a guest . Shower door didn’t close , water all over the bathroom floor . Bathrooms were small . Internet intermittent in the bedrooms . On the plus side , breakfast was good , service team attentative , the lounge access was a nice touch , comp Prosecco each evening with nibbles . Hot water for tea only reached 60 degrees in the restaurant . Location is great , walking distance to everywhere
