Booked for a trade fair visit at the Hotel Mercure. 2 nights in a double room with FS for almost 150 euros was a very good price!
We arrived from Austria around noon on Friday. There was parking just around the corner. The lady at the reception and her trainee tried very hard, but despite the booking confirmation including the right number, it took a good 10 minutes until we got our room cards. Top (3rd) floor, penultimate room. No problem, we want to complete 6000 steps every day!
On the ground floor there is a bistro machine, cosmetics, souvenirs, information displays, etc.
There are 2 elevators - only 1 is running. No idea why. The question becomes striking when waiting 10 minutes to go to the 3rd floor.
It was very cold in the corridor. This is currently the case everywhere and is probably due to the idea of saving energy, but it is very unpleasant.
Nice room, with a wardrobe including coat hooks (also not in every hotel anymore!), safe (become rare), a shower with a glass partition, hair dryer, magnifying mirror, facial tissues, soap, shower gel and shampoo dispensers. The bathroom was so small that when you sat on the toilet you couldn't open the door, but is that what you want??
Desk, armchair, flat screen TV, window that can be opened, a comfortable bed (not very wide) with good bedding. Kettle with coffee and tea facilities.
Everything clean, but not completely clean. Dust bunnies behind the armchair on the lamp stand (seen by accident because I had dropped something).
Very quiet, unless the other guests tramp loudly bawling down the aisle.
Went away again in the evening and didn't come back until after midnight, but still easily got a parking space.
Slept very well!
Breakfast: Very nice area, tables set cleanly, coffee machine for different types, different types of tea, juices, water, cold UHT milk, large glasses and cups available!, rolls, grain rolls, croissants, sweet pastries, raisin bread, pretzels; jams, honey and Nutella; butter and cream cheese; Cereals, sausage, cheese, white sausage, small sausages, scrambled eggs, bacon, 7 min. eggs, pancakes, vegetables, yoghurt, fruit, fruit salad.
My husband drinks cocoa for breakfast. It's always a problem in hotels just to get warm milk. The one from the machine doesn't taste good. When asked if we could get warm milk, they said the machine was broken - the stove? He then drank cold milk, but wasn't happy.
Salt and pepper mills on the tables, as well as sugar and sweetener.
Empties were deposited very promptly. Unfortunately there is nothing for the garbage on the tables.
On Saturday it was really ok. The quality is sosolala. The sliced cheese tasted chemically. The pig was cut about 3mm thick. Personally, I don't need salami for breakfast. The water tasted treated, but we come from the foot of the Schneeberg in Austria and our water tastes fresh and natural - we're spoiled!
The Nutella was full of little white balls. I've had that before in a glass, it's probably secreted fat. It tasted totally ok, but it has no place on a buffet. You can use that for Nutella Palats*****s, or for the workforce.
Fruit selection was very nice, apples, bananas, sliced kiwis and passion fruit, sliced oranges, canned tangerines, fruit salad with apples and melons.
On Sunday it was different:
You could have smashed slices with the pretzel rolls. The pancakes were partly ”crispy”, but the bacon was soggy. The scrambled eggs were brought later, but it was totally slimy. Unfortunately, there were no pretzels with the white sausages. Everything can go out, but in times like these when you can have everything frozen, it's not necessary.
What can children and my husband drink? Unfortunately, warm cocoa made from milk is not! It's a shame - that and the loss of quality on Sunday.
