Convenient and Quiet Stay
main pool airport shuttle
The location is a short walk from the terminal. The main pool was enjoyable, and the cafe offered convenient access to drinks and snacks. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The free airport shuttle operated 24 hours. This made getting to the airport easy.
I noted limited comfortable seating in the room. The room design felt somewhat sterile. I think it would be beneficial to add some art to the walls.
Facilities
9/10
The pool design includes lounge chairs and towels. The Splash Cafe is located by the pool area. I found the gym to be well-equipped for a quick workout.
Rooms
8/10
The room was very quiet due to soundproofing, even though close to the airport. The room included a clean bathroom. I found the bed to be comfortable for a good night's sleep.
Service
10/10
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The check-in process was quick and easy. The 24-hour transport service to the airport was efficient. I found the reception staff helpful with directions.

the pool design was excellent. abundant lounge chairs and towels were available near the pool. the open areas around the pool created a lovely vibe.
the breakfast served at the mercure was not great. the fruit did not seem very fresh. the room felt small for the price (it reminded me of a total rip off!).
