Mercure Hotel

We dragged our tired body to check in Mercure hotel which husband had booked on line. The time was nearly 6 pm by then.

Husband had picked this hotel because of its very good location, right in the down town. The on-line price is €160 per night, but husband got extra discount for CP's staff, to €100 per night, for 4 consecutive nights. Fairy good deal, I would say.

Like said, the location of this hotel is very good. We didn't face any problem at all to find that hotel.

I like the outlook of this hotel too. Furthermore, they use a lot of woods for the exterior wall, look very classic to me. But William didn't agree. He said it looks too old to him. Guess this is called generation gap.

The reception of the hotel is very homely. I like it.

A very good place for Karaoke-ing.

The reception area is very pleasant. I hope the same would go for our room.

The restaurant where we had taken our buffet breakfast in some of the morning time.

The living room with 2 sofa-bed, for the boys.

The room for us. Except the bed, there isn't anything else in the room, kind of very small.

Husband had requested for a quiet room, away from the nearby tram station. Thus, they gave us a room at the 2nd floor, facing the street instead. The room wasn't as quiet as we have expected. But since all the other rooms have been fully booked on that day, we have to take it or leave it. With no alternative at that time, we just had to take it.

Hopefully, it won't be that "noisy" at night time. But too bad, we heard cars / bikes roaring on the street till 11 pm, until we finally fell asleep. That's really stinks !!

After discussion, we decided we couldn't tolerate this kind of noise for 3 more nights and demand for a room-change or we would check out the hotel immediately. Heck, our strong complaints worked immediately.

The next morning, we decided we couldn't tolerate this kind of noise for 3 more nights and demand for a room-change or we would check out the hotel immediately. Well, our strong complaint works immediately.

When we came back from a long hiking trip in the afternoon time, we were transferred to a room at the other side which we had demanded before. Happily, we dragged all of our belongings to the new room.

My my, the new room is definitely newer, cleaner and most importantly, very QUIET !!

Our room is also much bigger, with a closet. Good enough for me.

Everything in the bathroom is also newer & cleaner. Some more, with a radiator. That's fantastic cause that means we could do some laundries here.

The balcony is carpeted, facing the trees. It's a very relaxing corner. I even had taken short naps here in one of those days.

Since then, we stayed happily in the new room for the rest of the 3-day.
