Merce - Pineda de Mar

It was good value for money, breakfast and dinners substantial and good but little variety. There was little noise at night, the hotel bar was never busy. Resort fairly quiet but good for young famillies and couples. Short and pleasant walk from beach and railway station. Possible to visit nearby resorts by train or take day trip to barcelona.

I suspect that those who get bargain rates get the poorer quality rooms. Ensuite bathroom and shower good but room small and basic. No air conditioning in room but constant noise from air conditioning unit on the hotel roof. Swimming pool on the roof was small and had insufficient sunbeds but the beach was a better option anyway. We were asked to pay on arrival, it would be a good idea to ask to see the room before accepting it.

Location. Our room was facing Catalunya Placa and thus we had free wi-fi 24 hours in the room:)) Breakfast was actually quite decent.

Rooms were never actually cleaned. (Never even sweapt the floors / or cleaned the barthroom.) But at least they changed the towels every day and did the beds. Another unpleasant thing was paying for the room experience. If you are outside eu don't pay by card. They end up charging you in your own currency (they say they have no control over it:)) and add some to the bill for inconvenience. So if even you are paying from euro account, you end up paying more.

Location, quite cheap

bad rooms and toilets, smell, old furniture, spots on the walls. Internet work near the information desk not in the rooms. The same breakfast each day, plates were dirty. More than 1 km from the beach not 600 m as advertised. We didn't leave anything valuable in the room, as the door lock was really bad.

Once we arrived at the hotel our location was ok for trips to the front/beach/station etc. located at the back of the resort a walk of around 10 mins to get to the front. This was absolutely fine as its a nice walk around the squares with various shops, cafes all the way.

We requested a room with air conditioning and balcony. The room was fine (although we didn't have any english tv) the balcony was actually a walkway /terrace which was ok for our short stay, although a balcony would have been very much nicer had we been there longer. We didn't mention either of these slight problems to the staff.

No air-con, not good in the heat of august.

Is not nosy (Even church’s bell is nice), funny evening musical programs

Good offer for a suitable money

Hotel is conveniently placed and excellent value for money. Food perfectly adequate. Use of safe in room for 19 euros a week.

We had an inward-looking room that looked onto hotel service equipment, but we had booked late and the hotel was full, though we wonder if we would have had a better room if we had booked directly with the hotel.

The pool went down well with the children after a long flight.

When we booked in there were no rooms next to each other as we had 2 adults and 3 children and were offered rooms opposite side of hallway....328 and 321.... i agreed , not realising it was actually opposite side of hotel as the rooms were in a square !!!! When i asked to get rooms nearer each other the receptionist although not happy at first did move us . All other staff were very nice and after getting the rooms it was fine.

A surprisingly plesant stay. Rooms are basic with no air con but comfortable and clean. Breakfast is very good. there is evening entertainment in the bar ...interesting. Location is great, 5 minsutes stroll to the centre of town and to the beach

No air conditioning in the room

the friendliest staff,

no air conditioning, sheets not changed, very smelly bed!

They have different programs during the evening, like guests singers and dancers. Very heavy breakfeast is served. Not so many turists at the hotel, mostly Spanish. Big free parking place 1 min. Walk from the hotel.

Very bad rooms, loose toilets, smelly pillows, noicy outside the windows during early morning hours. First arrivers get the bad rooms, you have to complain to get better rooms. Internet only work near the information desk not in the rooms. Staff could be more nice. Swimming pool way too small for 500 people, can have max. 20 people in it. Not 600 meter to the beach but rather 1,5 Km.

Good swimming pool with bar, a lot of places for lying on the roof. Good reception service. Wifi in my room worked perfectly.

Breakfast and its service was bad. Too much people.

Very helpful staff and excellent linen/towel changes.

The mattress cover under the sheet was lumpy and not very clean. The shutters and patio furniture was very dirty.

Value for money.

No air con even tho we requested it and we had no water for a couple of hours one evening.

We stayed at the hotel Merce with my family for one week and we were highly satisfied. I can recommend it as a good option to be accommodated close to sea for a good price. I was very happy to have half-pension because it was for a very good price and, moreover, I am afraid I would not be able to cope with menu card in Spanish if we were in a restaurant (out of hotel).

I was really happy to be in hotel Merce, there were only two things that I did not like: 1.) glasses in the hotel´s restaurant were not very clean; 2.) the aircondition in the common rooms (reception desk, restaurant,...) at the down floor was too cold, I think the difference between temperature outside and inside the hotel was too big.
