Good stay, hotel well located

This review has to be read in conjunction with the one I just did for Pullman Tokyo Tamachi. This stay at Mercure was for one night, because Pullman had to close for one day. Booking, billing, transfers were all organized for me by the Pullman. 

This hotel is very conveniently located in Ginza district. I checked-in around 10:00 and was clearly announced/expected. No credit card was requested as guarantee because Pullman was my guarantee. For the drink voucher, I had to tell them now what I wanted (soft drinks only) and they give it to you at the front desk. 

The front desk area :

The room was ready, they gave me Privilege/Queen bed + Sofa room. The room was not huge but still large as per Japanese standards. Modern decor. The weak point was that it was a bit dark, but I was not planning to spend too much time in it so, no issue. I would not necessarily like it for a longer stay. There was a small desk. 

Welcome amenity included a small bottle of wine, some chocolates and some aperitif snacks. Minibar content was free. There was a Nespresso machine. 

Typical small Japanese bathroom, but it does the job well. 

Breakfast was the weak point, in my opinion : limited buffet, quality OKaiish but nothing to write home about. And the room is low ceiling and relatively small so it gets very noisy and crowded. 

They could not grant me a late checkout because of full occupancy, but it was not big deal as I could do without. The limo was waiting for me to return to Pullman at the exact booked time. 

It was certainly a OK stay. I could return, but the Pullman would be clearly my first choice if staying with Accor. This Mercure can be quite expensive, and sometimes more expensive than the Pullman.
