Mercure Karpacz Resort

I really enjoyed staying here during a long weekend. Karpacz can be quite busy, but this hotel is located on a hill road, and therefore, in a quiet area. There is a parking available (which tends to be full on the weekend), but you have to pay it extra (no free parking on site). Breakfast was excellent, served in a huge room, with an incredible variety of foodstuffs. But the juice from the machine was really bad - you must solve this! The hotel has an indoor swiming pool (with children section), with jacuzzi, and sauna. This is really a family-friendly hotel, with a playroom for kids, full of toys. In fact, the hotel was full of families with children, and is also pet-friendly. Spacious bar with a good selection of beers. A bit annoying procedure when you want to charge drinks to your room: they ask you to "open a credit" in the reception... This is a nasty procedure that ALL hotels should ban, since it denotes lack of trust in the clients, and makes clients feel uncorfortable. Some staff had trouble with english, but you can survive with some german. Would definitely come back, despite of the opportunities for improvement.

nice indoor swimming pool, nice restaurant. reception did not speak english at all, only german and polish, luckily my wife is polish otherwise we wouldn't be able to check in. the room is outdated and could use a refurbishment

The bathroom in the room smelt strongly of stale urine and it was more than obvious the lavatory had been amply used. Bedding smelt of earlier - not very well washed - occupants. Scheduled to stay for 2 nights, I left after one. There was too much clutter not well enough cleaned for the context of pandemic. Hotel is broadly as I would have expected it to be under the Communists. Positively, windows opened wide to ventilate. Car park was efficient though. The positive reviews are a parallel universe.
