Mercure Alba Iulia

It would have been a 4 star review if... The hotel is new, just opened, so it looks very good, the rooms are interesting designed, I stayed in a 2 room apartment with a very large terrace from which you could see the Alba Carolina fortress. It is a 10 minute walk from the fortress and about the same from the train station and the Penny supermarket. The area where the hotel it is located it is very quiet, wich it is a plus. The breakfast is good and tasty, except for the juices, which are tasting like horrible chemicals. But this was not the problem that bothered me, but the fact that, although it seems that they used quality things in electronics, in plumbing, they skimped on what matters most, namely sound insulation! Even though the apartment door is very well insulated from the hallway, the wall between the apartment I stayed in and the apartment next door is made of plasterboard!!! I have never seen anything like this before. Not only could I hear everything the people next door were saying, but the wall would shake when the people next door closed the apartment door... so, I'm sorry, I can't give more than 3 stars for something like that, and it's a real shame, because it could have been a superb hotel...
