The hotel was under renovation and there was ni restaurant available for breakfast etc. You had to cross two roads in freezing conditions for breakfast. This should have been made clear at booking. My room was nice, but had no windows natural light and again this should have been made clear at booking. I paid £70 for a late checkout to 6pm but at 11 am I was called by reception and asked when I was checking out as they had no record of late check out, which was unacceptable. On a positive note the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is unlikely U will use this hotel again and will think seriously before using other Mecure Hotels

Underground noise even on the 5th floor, poor room maintenance with broken and dysfunctional fittings, freezing cold room was almost uninhabitable, terrible nights sleep.

I would like to express my deep dissatisfaction with the manner in which my recent stay at your hotel was handled. I had reserved an Executive Room with twin beds for six nights, from 25 December to 31 December, and had completed the online check-in process in advance, including providing my expected arrival time. Upon my arrival on 25 December, I was informed at check-in that the room I had reserved was not ready. I was instructed to wait in a smaller, alternative room. Despite the fact that the Executive Room was unavailable, I was nevertheless asked to pay the full amount for six nights in the Executive Room, which I did in full at that time. A female receptionist explained that the delay was due to refurbishment works at the hotel and stated that the room should be ready in approximately one hour. However, after waiting in the smaller room for nearly two hours without any update from reception, I contacted the front desk myself. On this occasion, a male staff member informed me that it would be difficult to prepare the reserved room that day and that I would need to stay in another room instead. This room was not an Executive Room but a smaller, standard room. To make matters worse, when a female staff member delivered the key to this replacement room, she explained that the originally reserved room had only just completed refurbishment and that the paint had not yet dried, making it unsuitable for occupancy. It is entirely unreasonable to suggest that a hotel would consider accommodating guests in a room freshly painted and potentially filled with chemical fumes. When I pointed out the inconsistency and implausibility of this explanation, the staff member stated that she had only just started her shift and was not aware of the details. I reluctantly moved to the smaller room provided; however, despite my reservation clearly specifying twin beds, the room had only one bed. Additional time was required for housekeeping to reconfigure the room to provide two beds. The following morning, I contacted reception again to ask when I would be able to move into the Executive Room I had booked. I was told that it was still not ready and that it might become available between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m., a response that strongly suggested the hotel was waiting for another guest to check out. If that were the case, it would mean that the room I had reserved and paid for had been allocated to another guest. When I raised this concern, I was met with vague and evasive responses, including statements such as “that is not what we are saying” and “we are not sure.” At that point, I raised the following issues directly with the hotel manager: Each time I spoke with a member of staff, I was given a different explanation. I consider this to be highly unprofessional and lacking in sincerity. Given the constantly changing explanations, I requested a clear written explanation of the situation and of how the hotel intended to resolve it. I confirmed that my email address had already been provided at check-in and stated that a message to my mobile phone would also be acceptable. It is unacceptable that I was required to pay the full amount for an Executive Room despite the hotel knowing that the room was unavailable and that I could not stay in it. As I did not stay in the Executive Room for part of my reservation, the difference in cost between the Executive Room and the smaller replacement room should be refunded. Although the manager agreed to point 2, no written explanation has ever been sent to me. To date, I have received no documentation whatsoever. With regard to point 3, the refund was also agreed upon, and I reconfirmed this with reception on the day before checkout. Nevertheless, I have still not received any refund at all. While I was eventually able to move into an Executive Twin Room from the second night onward, the quality of housekeeping was extremely poor. For example, mugs were left dirty, tissues were not replenished when empty, amenities were missing, and neither bathrobes nor slippers were provided. As a result, the stay was far from comfortable. As stated at the outset, I am extremely disappointed with this experience. I am also awaiting the prompt refund that was agreed upon and trust that this matter will be resolved without further delay.

Whilst the rooms are incredibly small - the welcome from the staff was lovely and professional. The hotel is also in a great location.

I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights with my wife and 2 kids. According to your offer we had to pay breakfast for the 2 adults and the kids had breakfast for free. How was the reality? Breakfast was in a 'partner' hotels' restaurant (Bella Italia). How do they translate breakfast for the kids? They can take from the limited buffet but can't get any eggs or anything else. Secondly for the 3 mornings we were there; the coffee machine was broken, hot chocolate not available either. They offered something they called coffee but if I were them, I didn't dare to serve that. Lastly 2 out of 3 mornings the reduced breakfast menu my wife and I could choose from (because kids weren't allowed to our surprise) they couldn't serve what we ordered because they were out of stock. Why do I come up with this now? I have actually complained about this 3 times at the reception and every time I got the promise the manager would get back to me. We're now a week after our stay and I still haven't heard from this 'manager'. So I expect to be fully reimbursed for all breakfasts; or 120 GBP of our stay. If I don't get a response in a decent delay I will pursue this via MasterCard. The hotel in itself: ridiculously small rooms and a lot of noise and hinder from the Paddington train station. For me not in line with Mercure quality and not worthy of 4 stars. I'm a loyal customer of Accor group and I haven't had such a bad experience in the hotel group ever.
