Lee E TripAdvisor review

Booked two rooms. Both rooms clean, good views, well proportioned and modern. Had to call the evening before to see if we could get at least one room slightly earlier as we were meeting friends before 3pm for our daughter’s graduation celebrations. Spoke to Laura who made notes on our booking requesting this from housekeeping. On check in we were greeted by Bernadette who was very friendly, professional and informative. We were able to have one room early which was a huge help to us, so we could freshen up ready for a long day out. When we returned late evening Laura greeted us in person, and checked us in. Even remembering that I called the previous evening and if we were checked in early on the other room. We had breakfast at 9am and everything was as expected, a selection of English, continental and gluten free foods on offer. Would we stay again, absolutely. Special thanks to Laura for waving her magic wand for an early check in and Bernadette for her professionalism and easy mannerisms.

Beautiful hotel, awful bed, expensive parking and poor service.

Ian H TripAdvisor review

We arrived at the hotel to find that parking was charged at £22 for just 24 hours. Given that the parking was clearly signposted as for hotel guests, we expected it to be either reasonably priced or, ideally, complimentary. Upon entering the hotel, we were impressed by its modern and elegant design. The atmosphere was lovely, and it certainly had a great first impression. However, the service left a lot to be desired. The reception took ages to get us checked in. When we finally made it to our room, we were pleased to see that it was spacious, clean, and modern. Unfortunately, our excitement was short-lived. When it came time for bed, we realised that instead of a double bed, we had been given two twin beds pushed together. This was a big disappointment, especially as we were expecting a proper double bed for our stay as a couple, and because we were there to celebrate our first year together. To make matters worse, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, lumpy and uneven, with a noticeable dip in the center where the beds were joined. For such a stylish hotel, this was quite shocking and unacceptable. The next issue occurred at check-out when I realised I had left my phone charger in the room. I asked the receptionist if I could quickly go back to retrieve it, but they insisted that they would need to contact the cleaning staff and have the charger brought to me. What should have taken two minutes turned into a one-hour wait, which was frustrating. To make matters worse, a week later, I received a £100 parking fine because we had exceeded the 24-hour parking limit by 45 minutes. This was due to the delay caused by the receptionist not allowing me to quickly return to my room to collect my charger. It was an unnecessary complication that resulted in a fine and additional cost, and I still don’t understand why I wasn’t allowed to just retrieve my charger myself. In summary, while the hotel is beautifully designed, the poor service and uncomfortable bed were major letdowns. The added parking charge and the fine from the receptionist’s refusal to let me retrieve my charger ended up more than doubling the cost of our stay. It’s a shame, as the hotel has a lot of potential but was ultimately let down by these issues.

Dear Fianh, Thank you for your feedback. We understand that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding the car parking, it is managed by an external company, so we are unable to offer it complimentary. However, as a hotel guest, you were provided with a discounted overnight rate, which differs from the pricing for non-guests. We’re sorry to hear about the situation and your overall experience. Please rest assured that we will investigate this matter with our team to identify areas for improvement. Could you kindly email your parking ticket to h6622@accor.com? We will look into this further for you. Rayan Pankiraj Operations Manager Mercure Holland House Hotel and Spa
