Standard Mercure. Area not great but close to railway station. Very clean and tidy

Rough start , I was given a twin room when I arrive instead of double room . I was put to an extension building outside the hotel . Next day I spoke to the Asian lady ( general manager) the most unhelpful manager I’ve meet . Never listen to me and she needed a customer service training - smile atleast and listen . Nice hotel but manager is a let down .

The hotel is somehow both elegant and cozy. It is perfectly located, and the staff consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. We stayed for 3 nights, and we didn’t want to leave.

The room was large and very nice with great amenities. We also really enjoyed going to the private and shaded garden with a glass of wine to relax in peace and quiet.

Pros - Fantastic central location and its key selling point. - nice helpful staff - free water bottles daily - good shower - family room has 4 single beds = perfect Considerations - No air-conditioning - be aware as in summer gets warm. - provided with fans however and can open windows - no lift BUT the staff helped carry our luggage up and down

Disappointed. This is nowhere close to a five star hotel. Cramped rooms. Run down. Some staff were rude

Ok

The staff was very courteous and friendly. However, the room we were assigned on the first night was quite a shock. The shower was located in the bedroom with only a single glass wall for separation. There was no sofa and only one chair in the room, as well as just one small bath towel provided. Overall, the room felt more like a closet than a proper hotel room. Given the price we paid, we expected a much more decent accommodation. The following day, I requested a different room, which we received that evening. This room was significantly better and met our expectations. That said, I believe a discount should have been offered for the first night, which unfortunately did not happen. Overall, the hotel is very clean and modern.
