Lesley W. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed at the Mercure Lambert Thame on Saturday 5th September. Our room was tidy, clean and comfortable. Nice touches were having ironing board and iron to hand and a fridge (although we didn't need it on this occasion). On check in there was only one person,managing check in, the bar and coffee/tea too. He was perfectly charming and everything was covered but there was obviously a staffing issue that afternoon. (Just highlighting not complaining). The breakfast was very disjointed. There wasn't anyone checking us in and explanation as to how breakfast service ran. (Once seated we were asked our room number, so this didn't get missed). There was a little notice saying if fried/poached eggs could be ordered on request but there wasn't anyone about to ask initially. A girl did pass and I asked her and ut arrived whilst I was eating the breakfast. Some customers hadn't seen the notice so had scrambled eggs as they thought that was the only choice. The cooked breakfast was good. It was an odd choice is to put cups and saucers on the tables when tea/coffee is self service. There were no teaspoons and no green tea, although plain tea bags were added on this shelf but they were breakfast tea. There were also no glasses beside the juices, although a tray eventually arrived. For the cost of breakfast there was very little option for vegans. Perhaps this should be looked at. The porridge was pre-packed so contained milk. There was no soya milk only a jug of oat milk that had to be refilled. The sugar was in a glass but had no teaspoon. Again, this was an odd arrangement with customers advising each other where to find things. Also butter Pat's were in a bowl in a fridge at the end of the buffet table with the prepacked yoghurts. Anyone making toast had the conserves infront of them but thought there was no butter available. You may think these oversights are petty but even with the lack of staff, there seems a lack of planning, management and care for breakfast service, it made for a confusing, noisy and quite stressful breakfast. If I stayed at a Mercure hotel again, I don't think I would choose to have breakfast it's a full price for a poor breakfast.

Dear Lesley, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your stay with us. We’re pleased to hear that you found your room clean, tidy and comfortable, and that you appreciated the facilities provided, including the fridge and in-room ironing facilities. We’re sorry, however, that your breakfast experience fell short of the standard we aim to provide. While we’re pleased that you enjoyed the cooked breakfast, we completely understand your comments regarding the lack of clear guidance, the positioning and availability of items, and the limited vegan options. We appreciate how these details, when combined, can make the breakfast service feel confusing and unnecessarily stressful. We also acknowledge your comments regarding staffing at check-in. We’re glad that our team member remained friendly and helpful despite managing several areas at once, but we recognise that this is not the seamless experience we want our guests to have. Your observations are certainly not considered petty. The level of detail you have provided is genuinely helpful, and we will share your feedback with the relevant teams so that we can review the breakfast set-up, signage, availability of utensils and drinks, and our vegan offering. We’re grateful for your honest feedback and hope that, should you choose to stay with us again, we can provide a much more enjoyable and well-organized experience. Kind Regards Admiral Abbey

The hotel was in a good location for our visit, parking was free, just pop your details on the screen at reception. The staff were all extremely professional, helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the room was very tired, lots of scuffed paintwork. The window was dirty with a mouldy frame, and the back of the curtains had mould. Couldn't get the main light in the room to turn on - perhaps the bulb had gone? We upgraded to a courtyard view room, so it was a spacious room, with air conditioning. But for the price we paid, I would expect better.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our location, free parking, and the professionalism and friendliness of our team.

Only complaint is a lack of staff at breakfast for those of us sitting in the bar area with dogs. We didn't see a single person on duty yesterday morning at 9.15. Had to lay our own table by taking crockery and cutlery from the restaurant. Some items had run out and not replaced eg fruit salad and cooked tomatoes. No one around to ask to replace them.

Catherine T. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Generally good Two 'negatives'. 1. Having a shower in the bath with no slip mat & no handle for older people to hold onto getting out. It was also just a rain shower head, no hand held one. 2. Originally only two wooden hangers in the wardrobe with 2 random plastic ones left by visitors. Not ideal for a couple staying 4 nights. Magically, these plastic ones were replaced by wooden ones during our stay!

Dear Catherine, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your insights regarding the shower setup and the initial lack of hangers in the wardrobe. Your concerns are important, and we will certainly consider improvements to enhance safety and convenience for our guests, especially older ones. We're glad to hear that additional wooden hangers were provided during your stay, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future. Kind Regards Hassan Raza

Xavier A. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We were supposed to have a family room (2 adults and 2 kids) and when arrived although we contacted the hotel by mail (non response) we figure our two boys are supposed to sleep on a tiny sofa with a blanket used as a mattress. We had to beg to have a additional bed for our boys and it took an hour of negociation to be able to have a decent bed.

Dear Xavier, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your email was not responded to and understand your frustration upon arrival. As requested, the sofa bed was extended for your two children. Due to the room’s design and health and safety regulations, we are unfortunately unable to provide three separate beds in the same room or make changes to the room layout. We understand that this may not have met your expectations, and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused. We also acknowledge that there was a delay while our staff explained these limitations. However, we are pleased that, ultimately, an additional bed was provided for your children at no extra cost. We appreciate your understanding that our team must follow the health and safety requirements and the room’s design limitations. We will also review the communication issue to ensure that guest enquiries are responded to more promptly in the future. Kind Regards Hassan Raza
