First looks are not impressive, the Mercator is the ugliest building in its street, but do not be put off. The hotel is in a quiet area, with only a little noise from the odd passing car, so light sleepers will appreciate. Very much a three star hotel with little pretension to be anything else, but unlike many 4 star hotels, it has a homely feel. Very convenient for the charming and equally homely Berger Strasse area and not too far from City centre, which is walkable for anyone who is fit.
