Congress Hotel Weimar by Mercure

Nice spacious room, facilities for disabled guests. The hotel has spacious parking, is located in a quiet area, nor far away from the highway.

Sound insulation in the room was not perfect, and I did not like the quickstep floors - very hard and accustic - very loud if you drop something, and also tends to gather a lot of dust. The TV, while large did not have a way to stream my own media or use Netflix/etc.

Nice staff easy to do late check in.

The room felt a bit aged and not very well kept. The terrace was nice but also somewhat unkempt.

convenient location close to Weimar but outside the city center, plenty of parking

all a bit dated but ok for the price

The location, staff and hotel itself were really nice - it's in a quiet part of Weimar Legefeld, so if you're looking for a little escapade, it's great. Breakfast is a good choice and we had a good offer of 5 Euros cheaper than the normal price, so it was worth it. Supermarket/grocery shopping (2 options) within 5 mins walking distance, so it's a nice walk to relax and get something for the room too. The Greek restaurant (El Grecco) serves good food at an acceptable price and 2 mins away on foot from the hotel. Bus stop is right outside the hotel (bus schedule available in the hotel lobby).

Sauna is opened late. I had chosen this hotel specifically because I wanted the sauna during my stay, but as it turns out, we didn't even get to use it because it only opened about 16:00. So after breakfast/lunch, there really isn't much to do except laze at the pool. I would have liked the sauna to be available right after lunch so as residing guests, we could enjoy it before the next batch of guests check in, but no such luck. In the end, we paid to go the Saunabad 15 mins away. Also, the housekeeping staff are very noisy in the mornings when they clean rooms. They talk very loudly in the corridor and woke us up every morning.
