We were sceptical to book a room here as reviews are a bit mixed for the Mercure in Florence however our stay was fantastic. All staff provided exceptional service and Sabrina in particular was a delight to deal with. We were fortunate enough to receive an upgrade and our room was spacious with a comfortable bed, decent size bathroom with lovely Nuxe complimentary toiletries. Breakfast was fantastic, with continental options including pastries, cereal, cold meats, cheeses, spreads etc and a small bain-marie with scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages. Fresh coffee available on request too. A wonderful and very memorable stay. Thank you to all the staff for their gracious hospitality.
