HOTEL MERCIER * * * *
Hotel located in the Jordaan district with a restaurant with inspired brasserie cuisine.
Housed in a former neighborhood house, once a center for LGBT rights, the Hotel Mercier declares itself a "straightfriendly" establishment. Its harmonious style combines vintage details with contemporary Dutch design elements. Fashion designer and artist Claes Iversen designed unique wall tapestries for each of the 48 rooms and suites, which are decorated with vintage furniture and warm colors. The Bonboon restaurant offers tasty vegan cuisine, all in a bright, modern setting.

Service is inconsistent and depends on who is on duty. People are generally more accommodating during the day. If you call the front desk from the room no one answers. Our requests were mostly light not working, new towels, etc. i will say service improved tremendously towards the end of our stay.
Rooms in the main building are small. The annex rooms are more spacious but no closet space. Annex rooms feel less safe though due to the street access.
The good: location is great. A little quieter over this side of town, but a short walk to anything you need to get to.
We didn’t request much service, but I didn’t get the impression we would have issues. We opted out of the provided breakfast in favor of exploring what the nearby community had to offer, plenty to be had.
Our room was an interior room. Odd layout, no way to get natural light in that I could find. There are shades in the top bit of the wall that look out to the open area, but they do not seem to open. Shower door does not contain the water, especially with the shower head so close to the door so the sink area easily floods. Lighting is a challenge. Switches took some finding for some of the fixtures.
Overall, it’s fine but I’m sure for the money a better setup could be had.
