"The hotel itself is quite new and nice, with good cleanliness and decent housekeeping. It’s a bit far from the city center, but that’s clearly stated, and for us as heavy walkers, it wasn’t a problem.
The pool area and especially the spa are quite small for the number of rooms, but it would be sufficient if it were for hotel guests only. We knew in advance that some lanes might be reserved for swimming lessons, but it turned out that lessons take place there every weekday evening, leaving only one lane available for hotel guests and other visitors.
My biggest complaint goes to the front office. When I made my family booking directly on the Mercure hotel website, I added the breakfast option. In the confirmation email, however, it stated that only one adult would have breakfast included. So I wrote to the front desk, clarifying that I wanted breakfast for all guests — two adults and two kids — and asked them to double-check. The front office confirmed this.
In the end, we were charged again for the second adult’s breakfast, which I can accept as a misunderstanding. However, the day before our departure, they wanted to charge us for our older child’s breakfast as well. Of course, both children’s ages were correctly entered in the booking form. I immediately discussed the issue at the reception; the lady there explained that children over 12 are charged for breakfast, but she agreed it was clearly a mistake on their side and promised to discuss it with the manager.
On the last day, however, we were still charged for our child’s breakfast. The same receptionist seemed surprised when I pointed this out during check-out, as she said the restaurant staff had been instructed not to charge us. What a mess."
