Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was excellent, very clean. However our bathroom sink was not draining properly and this was mentioned to staff on day one of our stay and it was never fixed. Also our room (201)was next door to the service room and it was very very noisey. We asked to switch rooms and we were told No.
Very bad hotel, very old hotel. Does not looks like the picture… more old. Very noisy, can hear everything in nearbor rooms. Even theire discussens. Not impressed by breakfast either. Ended up by checking out before time and booked another hotel instead. I have tried alot of Mercure in other countries , but this was bad.
Espaco no cafe da manha parecia uma festa de tao barulhento. Musica altissima, muita gente falando cada vez mais alto para serem entendidas, e espaco completamente sem acustica.
Siamo state ospiti dell’hotel Mercure per due notti.
Bellissima stanza e pulizia al top!
Reception sempre attiva con personale gentile e sempre disposto ad accontentare ogni richiesta.
Consiglio vivamente questa struttura!!
Aan de binnenkant is het een mooi modern hotel met een goede parkeerfaciliteit.
Het hotel is gelegen op loopafstand van het historisch centrum.
Vriendelijke behulpzame medewerkers.
Quarto bom , chuveiro razoável , café da manhã mediano , restaurante do hotel bom , localização não muito próximo do centro histórico mas não difícil de chegar a pé .
AS MENINAS DA RECEPÇÃO FIZERAM MUITA CONFUSÃO NA NOSSA CHEGADA, NÃO EXPLICARAM ONDE DEVERÍAMOS ESTACIONAR O CARRO E COMO VIRMOS DO ESTACIONAMENTO COM AS MALAS, QUEM SALVOU A SITUAÇÃO FOI O FUNCIONÁRIO TONIO QUE NOS EXPLICOU TUDO NOS ACOMPANHANDO DO ESTACIONAMENTO COM AS NOSSAS MALAS ATÉ NOSSO QUARTO. UM QUERIDO FEZ COM QUE ACHASSEMOS TUDO QUE HAVIA COMEÇADO MAL TRANSFORMAR SE EM SURPRESA E ALEGRIA. MUITO OBRIGADA TONIO, VOCÊ É TOP !!!!
o check in foi um pouco tumultuado pelas meninas da recepção, Porém TONIO salvou a situação com sua simpatia e presteza, fazendo tudo para que tivéssemos uma ótima estadia. Parabéns e muito obrigada ao TONIO.

Bom!
Hotel grande com excelente atendimento na recepção e no café da manhã, todos muito simpáticos e atenciosos. Café da manhã bom. Pra quem está de carro é uma boa opção, pois o hotel tem estacionamento no subsolo, está fora das ZTLs e fica a poucos minutos de caminha até o centro histórico. Porém as instalações do hotel são antigas, se escuta tudo dos quartos ao lado, sabíamos até o programa de tv que passava no quarto vizinho. Quanto a limpeza, recemos toalhas com manchas que pareciam estar sujas e não repuseram o Xampoo/sabonete que tinha acabado.
