A comfortable relaxing hotel in the heart of Bedford

Michael F. Couples - 5/6/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

I had 2 separate bookings one for 2 nights and one for 1 night, I called to ensure the same room during the stay, also to request a river view room. I was told by the receptionist (a Male) yes this can be accommodated and thanked him. My wife arrived before I did only to be given a room at the back of the Hotel. I arrived later and questioned this with reception on check in. The young lady insisted the room we had been given was on the river side.(IM sorry but she was mistaken) I went back to reception to point this out and after a chat she was able to let us move to a river view room the next night. she was helpful and polite. I explained that the male receptionist told me I had been allocated a river view room when I checked the booking. The first room was on the top floor and was tired in its appearance especially in the bathroom, and the red seat had fluff and dust where the back joined the seat looked like it had not been cleaned for a while. I have stayed in the hotel before and others in the Mercure group so was expecting a very good standard. the next 2 nights in the other room where much better the room was almost spotless so well done on that one. I would just like to point out that whilst the public areas Bar, reception , function rooms etc are clean and tidy. the corridor leading to the car park and the stair wells are very poorly kept. Also if you happen to think the main lift goes to LG then your in for a shock at the site that greets you, it looks very messy and unkept. we quickly went up to the ground and walked along the corridor to the carpark. We had a complimentary drink voucher each and whilst one of the bar men (NOT WITH BEARD) was very good and polite the other was rather abrupt for front of house and not very knowledgeable on what was available on the voucher and refused my wife the wine she wanted YET the other bar man said it was OK to have this after I went to find him to check out the situation. The overall stay was good but things could be improved. Thanks we will stay again but would like to think there will be improvements.

Daniel Solo - 4/30/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was my first stay in Mercure Bedford, I had a great experience. My room was located near the car park which was very convenient for me. Spacious room, basic but many channels on TV, bathroom was very bright and spacious with a walk in shower. And the bed was very comfortable with 2 choices of pillows on bed. Overall everything was clean so a bit plus to that.

Culture34207205583 3/9/2022 TripAdvisor review

On arriving at the hotel I met a nice young man in the reception call Nick who was very helpful in checking me in, and answered all my questions. It was my first time staying here and I will be staying there again. I did not have dinner, but I had breakfast the next morning. I was pleasantly surprise how nice the staff was there and how enjoyable the breakfast was, and how welcoming the staff there made you feel. There was a lot of choices to choose from and the chef even cooked me my vegan sausages. My room was very clean and tidy. Overall I was vey happy.

Culture34207205583 , Thank you so much about the great comments about the team and especially Nick who checked you in. The team are the life and soul of your lovely hotel and we all look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Quality Staff

andrewupton2021 Business - 11/22/2021 TripAdvisor review

The welcome & helpfulness of the hotel staff is excellent. Special mentions must be to Simone & Mellina who are always smiling & not just 'corporate'. The breakfast is always ready & available for 0600hrs (this is a major bonus being that other hotels state 0630hrs) & nothing is too much trouble.

Dear andrewupton2021, Thank you so much for the great review. Hope to see you again soon.

FELT PERFECTLY SAFE

Nice hotel. Corridors will need a spruce up soon but room and general areas all acceptable. Staff all friendly and efficient. Riverfront position and closeness of park and town excellent. Importantly during these Covid times we felt safe

Dear djk3816, Thank you so much for the great review and it was our pleasure to welcome you. Please come again soon!

Karhulanantti Business - 9/2/2021 TripAdvisor review

Hotel location is city centre next by the river. Building is ugly and worse for wear condition. Room carpets are full of stain. windows sweating inside and there is mould around windows. AC unit keep rattling during night even it's switched off. Front desk clerk promise send me invoice by email... Never got. Next ask invoice by email... never got any answer.

Dear Karhulanantti, Thank you for your review. I am deeply concerned to read all your comments that affected your stay and not even receiving your invoice. Please can you email as at hb541@accor.com so I can personally address your concerns and make things right.
