Everything was great, apart from the strong smell of stale tobacco in the corridor outside our room. The carpet needs a deep cleaning/replacement.

Stephen J. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Extremely disappointing. Your front of house staff were rude and confrontational. There was no welcome upon arrival. The special romantic package we booked online claimed to give us late check-out at 4:00 PM, but we were initially told we had to vacate at Noon, although this was later changed to 2:00 PM when we pushed back. When we asked about the complimentary bottle of wine we were initially told we could only have white wine. We had to argue for red as we don't drink white. It was not very good and we didn't finish it. No "sparkling wine" was ever offered! Nor did we ever receive the "romantic gift (flower arrangement or a box of chocolates or fruit basket or chocolate-dipped strawberries) in room upon arrival". Our request upon booking for "Extra pillows / extra large towels please" was ignored and so we had to ask again. The choice of beers in the bar was limited, with no ales. We were looking forward to a good breakfast, but the quality and choice was not very good, and the hot food was greasy. We were out before 2:00 PM. I doubt we will ever be back. I expected something better than a Premier Inn experience. At least the view over the river was nice, but you couldn't open the windows because of the stink.

Justin O. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall we had a lovely time, though we hit a real bump at check-in. For context, this is my 3rd or 4th time visiting—I've always come for afternoon tea in the past, which has been amazing. A special shoutout to Colin: the tea is always spot on and so consistent. More people definitely need to know how good it is!On this visit, we stayed overnight. While the rooms and beds were totally fine, check-in caused a huge headache for our group. Staff had very kindly pre-arranged that I could drop off personalised gifting early between 12:30 and 1:00 PM. I arrived right around 12:50 PM, but was initially told I couldn't access the rooms and had to leave the gifts at reception. Because every gift was personalised for a specific person, I couldn't just leave them in a pile, and had to show the email confirmation I had received.Unfortunately, I was then passed between three different staff members, having to re-explain the arrangement and show the email over and over. I was told no rooms were ready. Eventually, I asked if *any* rooms were ready. When told three were, I asked if I could drop those gifts off, and the staff finally agreed—but said the other two rooms wouldn't be ready until 2:30 PM. When I offered to just leave the items inside those rooms myself, I was told the cleaners might throw them out if the rooms weren't done.Because of this, I had to leave our first scheduled activity early to head back to the hotel around 2:45 PM to finish dropping off the rest of the gifts. Meanwhile, my guests were left hanging around town waiting for me. It put a massive time crunch on us and ate into paid activity time that we couldn't properly enjoy. I know hotels get busy, but given how much I've always loved coming here for afternoon tea, the check-in experience was a real letdown and caused a lot of unnecessary stress. I hope management can use this as feedback to get the front desk team better aligned for future guests.

Dear Justin O., Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We genuinely appreciate your continued patronage and are thrilled to hear that you have enjoyed our afternoon tea in the past. Colin will be delighted to know that his efforts have been recognized, and we will ensure that your compliments are passed along to him. I would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you encountered during your check-in process on your recent visit. It is disappointing to hear that the arrangements made for the early drop-off of your personalized gifts did not go as planned. We strive to maintain a seamless experience for our guests, and it is clear that we fell short in this instance. The necessity to repeatedly explain your situation to multiple staff members is not in line with the level of service we aim to provide. While our policy requires that rooms be ready before personal items can be placed inside them, I understand how frustrating this policy can be, especially when it affects the schedule of your group activities. It is our priority to ensure that our guests feel supported throughout their stay, and I regret that this was not your experience. Your feedback regarding the synchronization of our front desk team is invaluable. We will certainly take this into consideration as we continually strive to improve our service. Thank you once again for your candid comments, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, ensuring a more enjoyable experience. Best Regards, Denisa Lushi Front Office Manager

Jo T. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

First trip to Bedford. Meeting a friend here as equidistant from our homes. Booked a privelege room (panoramic views of river/city) but was totally disappointed. Room 204 has a view of air-conditioning units on a flat roof. Honestly terrible. Totally false advertising. Reception staff 'attempted' to move us to a new room but apparently all the other privelege rooms and suites were full. Therefore we were stuck with our terrible 'view'. Reception staff did give us 4 complimentary drinks at the bar, but as both of us are non drinkers, this wasn't really worth much tbh. We were not offered any monetary refund. We had paid for breakfast as part of our booking. This too was disappointing. The staff member at breakfast (Claire) looked miserable, barely spoke and did not guide us at all to what was where, where to sit etc. She just looked like she didn't want to be there. Breakfast was adequate but nothing special. The location of the hotel was good. Sadly we will not be returning.

Dear Jo T., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent visit to Mercure Bedford Centre Hotel. I sincerely regret to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly concerning the room allocation and the service you received during your stay. I understand your disappointment regarding the view from Room 204. It is indeed our goal to provide our guests with the best possible experience, and I empathize with the frustration caused by the discrepancy in the room's advertised features. While our staff endeavored to find a suitable alternative during your stay, I regret that we were unable to accommodate your request due to availability. Your feedback regarding the complimentary drinks is also noted; we strive to offer gestures of goodwill that resonate with our guests' preferences, and I appreciate your perspective on this matter. Furthermore, I am disheartened to learn that your breakfast experience did not meet our usual standards of service. I will make sure to address your comments regarding the staff's demeanor and attentiveness with our team, as we continuously aim to enhance our service delivery. It is essential that our guests feel welcomed and well-informed during their meals, and your insights will assist us in achieving this. I appreciate your kind words about our hotel's location and take your comments seriously as we endeavor to improve our guests' experiences. We hope you may reconsider and give us another opportunity to provide you with the quality service we pride ourselves on. Best Regards, Denisa Lushi Front Office Manager

Andrew M. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

We were booked in for four nights. The first room we were put in was absolutely tiny, no storage space, barely room to move and a bit of a musty smell. We asked to be moved and the next day we were put into a very nice room which had enough space and didn't smell odd - plus it had a good view. Food was not bad, especially considering there seemed to be a skeleton staff on over the Bank Holiday weekend. We'll most likely book again for next year.

Dear Andrew M., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Mercure Bedford Centre Hotel. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your overall experience and that the second room met your expectations with its spaciousness and pleasant view. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you encountered with the initial accommodation. We strive to ensure that all our rooms meet high standards of comfort and cleanliness, and I regret that the first room did not align with these standards. Your concerns regarding storage space and the musty smell have been noted, and I appreciate your understanding as we address these matters. It is wonderful to hear that you found our food offerings satisfactory, particularly during a busy Bank Holiday weekend. Our team works diligently to provide quality service even in challenging circumstances, and your recognition of their efforts is greatly appreciated.
