Hotel is ok. A few bits need some tlc. Main issue was the smell, all the corridors stank of drains….really not nice.

We needed a comfortable hotel within walking distance of the Oxford Colleges to visit our daughter. The Mercure Oxford Eastgate was a great choice, with comfy beds, clean bathroom, and a good size room. It was in a great location for exploring the city. The French guy on reception was polite, friendly and helpful. All in all a good stay, and we may well return!

Reasonable service and comfortable rooms. Breakfast was varied and good quality.

Absolutely lovely location and very nice building. The room was a little tired. The extractor fan was constantly on so was an endless drone, even through the night. There was only enough tea bags and milk for one cup of tea each. We ordered more tea through the app and it took over an hour to get some and that was after chasing for them. We ended up buying our own tea and milk. At breakfast, the pre made coffee was not hot enough and not pleasant. We were not offered any other fresh coffee options.
