Hôtel Mercure Nice Promenade des Anglais

If you take the sea view rooms then thats pretty much the only good thing.

1) The room we had smelled like the sewer, literally, and it was damp. That meant every piece of fabric and linen smelled like the sewer. 2) The room was damp because the air conditioner did not work properly. It was kind of like a regular ventilator which does nothing against the heat and humidity. 3) When we explained the situation about the sewer smell and humidity to the admin we were told to wait until the next morning because cleaners had already left and our room could not be cleaned for other guests to take it - like what??? How could you give that room to someone? She didn’t bother to come and check out the situation, nor sent anyone, which confirms that this was not the first time they heard it. 4) During our stay we heard other guests complain regarding dripping taps and not being able to sleep because of that. 5) Breakfast choices were quite small but it was all edible of course - apart from the bacon one morning. Someone took a flamethrower to those slices and made sure that whoever felt cold in their hotel could use them as charcoal to light a fire in their rooms. 6) Everyone had to fry and/or boil their own eggs as well. There was a small pan for frying and boiling water - not sure what the hell that is about, never seen it before in other hotels. I didn’t know i had signed up to Gordon Ramsay’s Masterchef where i need to prove i know what to do with an egg. 7) Staff at breakfast were nice and polite, always smiling. 8) Towels were clean. 9) The room was worn out, you could see yellow in the bathrooms and there stripes, holes etc in the furniture and walls. 10) Last but not least as my 4G Roaming budget cannot take the full length of all the points on how this hotel could improve - it is way too expensive for what you get, even the cheapest rooms.
