William L. Couples - 7/7/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

First time stay at Mercure Bedford. Solid base for centre of Bedford. Double room. Staff all polite and kind especially the lady who checked us out. Had some issues with room keys not functioning on separate occasions and had to get them reprogrammed. Aircon was leaking which hotel are endeavouring to repair. Not easy to understand car park or confirm pre booked space. Breakfast was good and staff very kind and attentive. Overall a pleasant stay, good location and helpful staff.
