 Well if it wasn t for this debacle i would have given the hotel a 5 star rating but unfortunately there are far too many hidden charges which neither Booking nor Mercure Hotel tells the customer about I will warn you that it might be a long read but nevertheless it s important that people hear about it so they won t face the same misfortune as I Upon checking in despite having paid the hotel three months in advance they made me pay twice without neither giving me a form or any kind of paper where there is any type of agreement that i will accept another payment Pay close attention They ll ask you for your card because of a guarantee as they put it what will happen is that they ll charge your card again for the same price you booked the room and an additional 40 euros I unfortunately found out about it when i noticed i couldn t use the ATMs anymore because of this unethical practice When talking to the staffers i was told that this is an authorization and not a payment well what they don t understand is that the funds are frozen since they are reserved and the customers are not able to use them meaning that if you travel on a tight budget well prepare for the worst if you re checking in here It doesn t take them more than a second to take the money but returning it seems like an impossibility at this point I was told by three different staffers that they have released the authorization at three different points in time and they are still frozen I will have to wait at least a week more before I file a report for fraud against this hotel 
 The room was comfortable and very clean The beds were soft and the furniture made the most use out of the space while not being too intrusive There is also a peaceful lake nearby perfectly suitable for evening strolls and it s not more than a minute s walk there
