2/10
We booked to stay at the Hotel Mercure Wien Westbahnhof. This is rated 4 stars on most sites. I have stayed at many Mercures in the past and have had lovely stays. When booking this we had to pay extra to have A/C, fridge (needed to put medication in) and a safe. These are called Superior rooms. In Vienna, in summer, you need AC. These rooms are NOT superior and very small and the furniture is dated. When booking, I asked twice to have a walk-in shower due to my disability and was told they would help. I also explained at reception when we arrived they just did not care, and they refused. The shower was not safe and became very slippy. I was unable to use it after the first time. My request to have a walk in the shower due to a disability was ignored. The AC would stop during the night and the room would become very hot. The bed itself was a double. The mattress was very firm & hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. The curtains did not close properly, and they did not block out the light. The walls had a terrible paint job and the carpet had holes in. I asked for a quiet floor, but the room was next to the lift and was very noisy at nighttime. The door had a spy hole with no cover, so light came through at night. They advertise a mini-bar on the booking and website, but there is none. Not ever bottled water in the rooms. This is NOT a 4-star hotel and the rooms they sell has Superior are NOT. This hotel is also NOT disabled-friendly and will ignore all special requests.
