City North Cheap Vacations

Breakfast was done at 11.instead of saying the kitchen is closed, we were told to finish or take whatever food and drink we want to the lobby and be there “ all day if we wanted to” Caters to a very not demanding public, hotel is really under 3 stars, but mattresses were great

Do not stay here. When we booked this trip this was a Mercure Hotel. With no notification the hotel changed name and I wish I had acted on reading some reviews online after the change. The hotel is in a terrible location it is surrounded by empty and derelict buildings and does not feel safe especially at night. It is about 20 minutes by public transport to the city centre which is ok during the day but at night the road is not lit and there are quite often lone men hanging around. When we arrived we left our luggage as we were earlier than the 3pm check in and went out for a walk and some food. We returned at 3 to be told our room was not ready. They had problems with housekeeping and had no idea when our room would be ready. We were told we could wait in the bar or on the terrace. The bar was not open and unmanned. We were not offered even a drink of water as an apology. We waited almost an hour before requesting a downgrade to a room that was ready as we had tickets to an event. The room was ok. Very basic, no secure luggage storage and the door couldn’t be double locked from the inside. The only plus side was the bed was comfortable. Both nights it sounded like work was being done somewhere in the hotel. It was very noisy and not restful. Staff are unfriendly and unhelpful. I’ll be surprised if this hotel is still open at the end of the year. Hotels.com should consider removing it from their listing. We paid €320 for both nights and it was not worth that at all.
