Our guest reviews

Awful

Jason T Couples - 11/30/2022 TripAdvisor review

We just had a stay cancelled for my wife's birthday at the last minute as the hotel is "closed to the public" for at least a year. No explanation given, I called to ask if it was renovations but they just said they weren't at liberty to say. Absolutely terrible service, will never attempt to book there again.

Room was great

Jane Solo - 11/29/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room was lovely and quiet and modern. The BEST feature was you provided a thin pillow, I can only sleep on thin pillows and most hotels have fat ones which are not comfortable so thankyou for providing this.

Disgusting place will never book a mercury again

Jonathan E. Families - 11/27/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Absolutely disgusting room, I've seen cleaner dustbins, manager knocked 50% off the bill although if someone from mercure wishes to contact myself I'm open to having a discussion with them.

Very pleasant

Graham Friends - 11/27/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Friendly helpful staff in an old world setting (apart from the rather incongruously modern bar). Well located and a very pleasant stay.

Location great.

Anonymous Solo - 11/26/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL
