Really enjoyed our stay at the Mercure and Germany as a whole. The food at the Hotel was excellent, we experienced all of the facilities, breakfast, Restaurant and Bar with all proving exceptional. We went to Linz, Cologne, Bonn and enjoyed every minute in all these cities, impressed with the social welcome from all the shops we visited. Slightly unnerved by the requests from beggars for money (5 times in Bonn in 2 hours). On the whole we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Germany. One strange thing - the Koln-Dusseldorfer River Boat trip doesn't go to Dusseldorf ? Very strange/funny.
