The hotel is fine, spacious rooms with a balcony each. Delicious breakfasts, fast wifi. I stayed there a couple of times. The area (zona rosa) in which is located is fine if you fly in/fly out on a short mission, but it is utterly boring, like an airport waiting area sperad out in the landscape. And it has grown more boring with the time. What tends to irritate me in Hotel Veranda/Mercuer is the service in the bar/coffee shop ln the ground floor. It is slow and inefficient, and they have this annoying habit of running after you when you enter it as if you were an intruder. My piece of good davice to the guys working there: Let guests enter, find a table or the friends/business partner they are going to meet in the cafe, and then start running. And when I checked out Wednesday 21 November, I was asked to pay an in-announced tax on the bottle of water I had taken from the minbar. At best unusual. But again: I would give the hoytel a chance, and could stay there once more.
