Congress Hotel Weimar by Mercure

Lovely hotel but far from town centre but otherwise excellent. Nice welcoming bar - good value prix fixe restaurant

Okay, first off please note that this hotel is apparently supposed to be renovated soon so this review might not be relevant by the time you read it. But essentially, although it’s a bit far away from the city, it’s a quite nice property. There’s a bus stop nearby and the staff are very friendly. But the rooms have a few issues, they are getting really old and the blinds no longer really stop the light from coming in so if you’re coming in the summer unfortunately you might have a short night made maybe shorter by the fact that most rooms do not have air-conditioning. The silver lining is that it’s getting a full refurbishment, but they just don’t know when that will happen apparently that will be next year.

Stayed on a Sunday, no food available at the hotel and only restaurant within walking distance closed. No air conditioning and very small beds. Really wouldn’t recommend and neither would I stay here again through choice and can’t really understand how the hotel has the star rating it has been awarded
