Room was dirty and tired. Carpet had many dirty marks, handles were missing from drawers, no TV remote, sink was unusable as plug was jammed closed!, all in all a very tired and run down feeling for the room. Staff confirmed that maintenance sessions were few and far between and it shows!

Terri W. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Lovely venue, second time there. Room 15 the shower cubicle needs re grouting it starting to look its age. A choice of pillows would be good instead of 4 pillows exactly the same i.e too fat, A slimmer choice would be a good addition as I had to sleep on the bed cushions and it wasn't great.

Dear Terri, Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing to stay with us for a second time. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the venue and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the issues you experienced with the shower cubicle in Room 15 and for the lack of a choice of pillow firmness. We have taken your comments on board and will certainly look into the re-grouting and consider providing a selection of pillows to ensure our guests have a more comfortable night’s sleep. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will work on these areas to improve the experience for our guests. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon.

Charlotte H. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We booked for 2 adults and when we checked out we where told they had thought there was only one of us despite us telling them the guest total when booking and an extra £20 was added to our stay when we checked out (probably wouldn’t have minded if had been told before or during our stay about this) room was okay, bed was a bit too soft so husband slept on blanket on floor

Dear Charlotte, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry for the misunderstanding regarding the room occupancy. Our rate for single occupancy is £109, while the rate for double occupancy is £119. As your booking was for two adults, the additional £20 was the difference between the single and double occupancy rates. We apologise if this was not made clear to you at the time of booking or during your stay, and we understand how this could have been frustrating. Regarding the mattress, we use Hypnos mattresses in all of our rooms, which are known for their comfort and quality. We’re sorry to hear that you found the mattress too soft and that it affected your sleep. We appreciate that mattress comfort is very personal and can vary from guest to guest. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again. Kind Regards Hassan Raza

Stayed two nights for my pals’ wedding. Facilities were nice and clean, and everyone had a fab time. The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the gent who got me cheese and crackers at 2am. My blood sugar dropped dangerously low just as I got back to the room so you honestly saved me being blue lighted to the nearest hospital. Thank you all! :)

On the whole, the stay worked well for us: the location was ideal. We enjoyed the food a. service was generally excellent despite staffing levels obviously slim. We had a minor problem in our room that was quickly rectified. The room was a little dated a. needing a little tlc. We booked online in the end, which was easy however, our first attempt at making the reservation was via Mercure’s AI driven phone portal which was a simply terrible experience: not fit for purpose.

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

Vivien F. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

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. We're sorry to hear that the condition of your room did not meet your expectations. Please accept our apologies for the issues you experienced, and we will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more enjoyable stay. Kind regards Admiral Abbey

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.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the lack of staff and buffet items during breakfast. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. Your comments have been shared with the relevant team. Kind regards, Admiral Abbey
