Bad hotel - not worth the money!

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

Mark r TripAdvisor review

Stayed in a Privledge room - very dark and bed was so uncomfortable, you could feel the springs! Went to check out and reception staff were a disgrace including the manager, who was extremely rude. You have overcharged me, which i will take up with you when i get home because you gave me no choice to sort out at the hotel. I am horrified by your treatmemt and will never stay at a Mercure hotel again. 2 paymemts taken off my card without my consent! You couldn't even print my receipts off, made me take pictures of them! Appalling service! Shame as the bar/restaurant staff were lovely and polite and the food was delicious.

Hi Robert, Thanks for leaving us this review of your recent stay. It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the food and found the bar/restaurant staff lovely and polite; our Keepers Bar & Kitchen team works hard to provide great service and tasty meals. I'm really sorry to hear that you found the bed in your room uncomfortable; comfort is key and our mattresses were carefully selected during our 2018 update. As for the experience at reception, it's disappointing to learn that it didn't meet your expectations. We pride ourselves on our hospitality, and it seems we missed the mark during your visit. Rest assured, we typically receive positive feedback about our staff's helpfulness and professionalism. Concerning the payments, this does not reflect our standard practice of transparency and care in handling guest transactions, and we would certainly appreciate the opportunity to rectify any billing discrepancies. I'm glad you liked our extensive drinks menu and the comfy seating in our hotel bar. We hope that you will return in the future for a more enjoyable stay. Take care, Karl Goebel, General Manager

SarahH1980 TripAdvisor review

There is nothing grand about this hotel. The car park is unsafe and disgusting and the customer service is appalling - The worst I have experienced.Rooms are basic and there is a strange smell in the corridors. There are plenty of better options in Bristol.

Hello Sarah, Thanks for taking the time to share your review. While I'm delighted to hear that you found our hotel to be grand in name, it seems we missed the mark in other aspects during your stay. I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience with our car park and customer service; it's certainly not the standard we aim for. Though our parking is secure and covered, I regret that it did not meet your expectations. Regarding the scent you mentioned, we maintain daily housekeeping to ensure a clean and fresh environment, and we'll be looking into this matter. As for the rooms, we're proud of our modern amenities and the historical charm of our building, and I hope we can show you the quality we're known for on a future visit. We hope that you will return in the future for a more enjoyable stay. Take care, Karl Goebel, General Manager

Room nice, staff good, evening meal good, location good and good parking. However it seems that the hotel’s heating system is broken - it was a cold night and the room was very cold (we had to ask for a portable radiator). It’s a shame, because we would stay again if the heating was sorted. We stayed in October too and the hotel had the same problem (it was less of an issue then as weather mild). Would also mention that room 243 needs a new mattress - springs uncomfortable.

Hi Guest, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It's wonderful to hear that you found the room nice, our team amiable, the evening meal delightful, and our location and parking convenient – that's what we aim for! We're glad these aspects made a positive impression. As for the heating, we're on the case; our historic building does sometimes throw us a curveball, but rest assured, we're pitching a solution. And about the mattress in room 243, while they're all from our 2018 refresh, it sounds like this one may have slipped through the quality net - we'll have our team bounce on over for a comfort check-up. We hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable stay. Take care, Karl Goebel, General Manager

Rather tired in places

Vicky A Families - TripAdvisor review

Rather tired room with threadbare carpet in places, a worn sofa bed and in need of redecorating. Positives: secure car park next to hotel, fab central location, affordable price. Communal areas nicely decorated with local artwork, friendly staff. Nice quirky furniture and lighting not the generic kind of thing you get in a Premier Inn.

Hi Vicky, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. It's great to hear you enjoyed our secure parking, the central location, and the unique charm our communal areas offer thanks to the local artwork and quirky furnishings. We're all about breaking the mold of the generic hotel experience, and it sounds like we hit the mark there with you! Moving on to the room, I'm sorry to hear it didn't quite live up to expectations. While our historic building underwent a grand makeover in 2016, we're continually working to keep everything fresh and up to standard. Your feedback is a helpful nudge to focus our attention where it's most needed. It's a relief to know that our friendly team made a good impression and contributed positively to your stay. They really are the heart of our hotel, and I'm sure they'll be chuffed to hear your kind words. We hope to see you next time you are in Bristol. All the best, Karl Goebel, General Manager

Room very poor and tired

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

Blackheadedgull TripAdvisor review

I chose the Grand because I’ve used Mercure before and found them comfortable and a decent 4* standard, but we were very disappointed with our room. It was tired and obviously well used. Even when new it was hardly 4* and poorly designed. Clothes hanging over the kettle, a long cupboard which had no hooks or hanging space and no chair. There was room. A slight musty smell greeted us when we first entered it, the long mirror in the hall was cracked and looked as though a piece might fall off. It felt cold and the heating was not working, which I reported but nothing was done. However the free standing heater worked and was adequate. Maybe it was always required. The overuse and lack of upkeep extended to the bathroom, notably the ceramics. Separate hot and cold taps was unusual. It was clean. The shower was fine and the super king bed comfortable. It’s very central and Ubers were almost on demand. I enjoyed my gin and tonic in the bar.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. We're thrilled to hear the super king bed provided a comfortable night's sleep and that our central location made your travels around Bristol convenient. It's also great to know you enjoyed a lovely gin and tonic at our bar. On the flip side, we're genuinely sorry to hear your room did not meet the high standards we strive for. As you highlighted, we do have a selection of room types, and while the particular room you stayed in seems to have fallen short, we're keen to ensure every guest experience is a positive one. We appreciate your feedback on the heating issue; our team is always on hand to resolve such matters promptly. As a historic building that underwent a complete makeover in 2016, we aim to maintain the balance between classic charm and modern comfort, and your comments are crucial in that endeavor. We hope that you will return in the future for a more enjoyable stay. Take care, Karl Goebel, General Manager
