Hotel Mercier

First stayed here in 2019 and didn’t hesitate to rebook this visit. Clean, quiet, helpful staff and nice breakfast. Lovely neighborhood.

A nice hotel in a convenient location, a short walk from the Anne Frank house. Nearest tram and metro stops are about 500m. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good, with a typical continental hotel range of options. On site dining is a vegan restaurant, can't comment on that as we tried a range of excellent local alternatives during our stay. The room was a deluxe double. Space was at a premium as typical for an Amsterdam hotel, but it was comfortable. My one criticism would be a lack of clothing storage space; we loved our of suitcases for three days due to lack of hanging space and shelving.

This is my second time staying here and have had strong experiences both times. My only complaint was the temperature in the bar and lobby which was hot and stuffy during the heat wave Amsterdam experienced while we were there. My room was very cool, but the common areas were uncomfortable. I understand old buildings and high ceilings but think additional ceiling fans to move some air might be helpful.

Amsterdam’s charming Jordaan neighborhood is exceptional, with many of the city’s historic attractions and landmarks within easy walking distance. While the hotel is on the expensive side, the convenience and appeal of its location certainly help justify the cost. There were, however, two areas where we felt improvements could be made. First, the breakfast buffet was disappointing in its lack of variety. During our week-long stay, the selection remained virtually unchanged each morning. Given the hotel's pricing, we would have appreciated more variety and would likely reconsider including breakfast on a future visit. Second, the evening bar service was noticeably understaffed. When we invited friends visiting from London to join us for drinks, we waited approximately 15 minutes before being attended to, followed by another 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. This was disappointing, particularly when entertaining guests. Despite these two shortcomings, our overall experience was very positive. The hotel's wonderful location, atmosphere, and convenience made our stay memorable, and we would certainly consider returning on a future visit to Amsterdam.
