Mercure Hotel Bonn Hardtberg

We were part of a coach party visiting Christmas markets in Koln and Koblenz. This hotel clearly is geared towards the business trade rather than tourist’s because of where it is situated and the car park was somewhat challenging for our coach driver. The restaurant does not open in the evenings at weekends so factor that in if you are staying during those times. Once armed with that information and you are prepared then you should enjoy your stay here. The hotel itself is clean, warm and comfortable. The staff are extremely friendly and so accommodating - particularly Erij and Kay who helped us out immensely on the Saturday night helping us order takeaway meals that were delivered to the hotel and enabling us to eat them at the bar. We found our room to be very comfortable and quiet - the housekeeping staff do an amazing job. The breakfasts are lovely and there is plenty to choose from. (I have to add that the hotel did have a meal ready for us on the Friday evening when we arrived but that was because it was agreed that we all paid in advance. Thank you to the catering staff for putting on a great spread and for coming in on your night off!)

Probably the most toxic working environment as otherwise the staff wouldn’t be this much hateful. Me and my clients decided to have some drinks in the lobby bar before we go out for the dinner and Bartender Aidin served us and then we quickly had our drinks and headed out for the dinner but the he stopped us at the doorsteps to say "you have not paid the bill" which was true as we had totally forgotten that.. I apologised probably 10 times from him and we returned back to lobby to pay the bill but he was talking like "You are an adult and you should learn not to leave without paying" and I thought he was joking so I didn't say anything but he was still talking in German and I didn't understand anyword.. I didn't care and ignored his rudeness, paid 11 eur bill and left the hotel for the dinner.. we returned back to the hotel after 2 hours and wanted have some more drinks with my clients so sat in the lobby ordered our drinks and same waiter, Aidin served our drinks with the bill in the hand and I said "Can you please add it to the bill because we will sit longer and we will have more drinks, not only one. so I can make one payment instead". He rejected it and said "you have to pay now because you should learn not to leave your table without paying it so you are paying now, not later". he clearly told these in front of my clients and everyone else in the bar and he was clearly getting more rude as we talk. Everytime we ordered drinks he told me to pay it immediately unlike all of the other guests in the bar and even worse was we had to call him a couple of times to order as he was deliberately ignoring our table.
