Kari M. Families - 7/26/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We made the booking online from Australia. We were attending a wedding in Oxford. As per below the booking experience was suboptimal. The lack of air-conditioning was also a significant issue. My sister had looked at the website prior to me booking and saw air conditioning was listed. On arrival we were informed that there was no air-conditioning and that fans would be provided. Very few windows in the rooms opened and only to a small degree, it was extremely hot. Had we been advised of this change we would have looked for alternative accommodation. My sister discussed with the front desk about a potential price reduction for no air conditioning given at the time of booking it was advertised. She was advised if evidence of this could be provided a price reduction could be discussed. To change what is visible on the website and then plead ignorance is dishonest and very poor business practice/customer service. This has soured our prior experiences with the Mercure brand. We won't be utilising Mercure in the future.

Dear Mr H., Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our central location, found your room spacious and comfortable, and appreciated the quality of our breakfast. We are sorry that the temperature of your room affected your stay. We understand how important a comfortable sleeping environment is, particularly during warmer weather, and appreciate your feedback. Thank you once again for your comments. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future. Warm wishes, Victoria Beliakova Rooms Division Manager

Chris T. Business - 7/21/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Absolutely horrendous room and ventilation. Despite cool/chilly temperatures outside (55F) in the morning and evening, I could never get the room below 90F. I was assured the window in my room opened. It did - it provided an opening of roughly 12" x 6". I had a fan that was worthless - it only blew hot air around. The fact that so many people have the same complaint indicates how little the hotel cares for the comfort of its guests.

Dear Mr T., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed our central location and breakfast. However, we are truly sorry that the temperature in your room had such a significant impact on your stay. We fully understand how frustrating and uncomfortable this must have been, and we sincerely apologise that the measures in place did not provide the level of comfort you expected. As a historic listed building, we are subject to certain structural restrictions, which makes implementing modern cooling solutions quite complex. However, we are committed to improving our guests' experience and are carefully planning a comprehensive refurbishment later this year, seeking the best possible solutions to enhance comfort. We greatly appreciate your honest feedback, as it plays an important role in helping us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a much more comfortable and enjoyable stay. Warm regards, Victoria Beliakova Rooms Division Manager

Devita J. F. Business - 7/20/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Dear Devita J. F., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for your continued loyalty as an Accor Live Limitless Platinum member. We are sincerely sorry to learn that the bathroom layout in Room 807 did not meet your expectations and caused you discomfort during your six-night stay. We fully appreciate how this would have affected your overall experience. While we do not have a separate room category for accessible rooms, some of our rooms are adapted with accessible bathroom layouts. Due to the high occupancy and the warm weather during your stay, we were trying to find the best possible accommodation for you as one of our valued Platinum members and were pleased to offer one of the limited number of rooms equipped with air conditioning. We regret that, despite our intentions, this solution did not provide the level of comfort you expected. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. We truly value your loyalty and your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future. Warm wishes, Victoria Beliakova Rooms Division Manager
