We regularly review our staffing levels alongside anticipated business volumes, and your experience highlights the importance of ensuring the restaurant is appropriately resourced and organised so that we can provide efficient service, particularly during busy periods. Thank you again for your balanced feedback and for choosing the Mercure Paignton.

A very pleasant stay indeed with great food and helpful friendly staff, and a very comfortable very clean and well-appointed room. A gem in a less than perfect seaside town!

It is particularly wonderful to hear your comments about our team. Providing genuinely friendly and helpful service is at the heart of what we want our guests to experience, and we will be delighted to share your kind words with everyone. Being described as a “gem” is a wonderful compliment!

We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another wonderful stay very soon. Kind regards Mercure Paignton.

The room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the faulty fridge in the room meant my medication was not stored correctly and meant we had to return home rather than carry on with our vacation. It meant an extra day of travelling back and forth. I raised a complaint with the hotel and received a response, but was not satisfied with the suggested resolution. It was escalated to the operations manager and I was told they would respond within a couple of days. I am waiting to hear back.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we are pleased that you found your room clean and comfortable, I am very sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with the in-room fridge and the impact this had on your stay. We fully appreciate the importance of having appropriate arrangements for medication that requires refrigeration, and understand how disappointing and disruptive it must have been to change your plans and return home earlier than intended. We recognise that the performance of some of our in-room fridges has been an area requiring attention, and we are actively working on improvements. Where medication requires specific temperature-controlled storage, our team can also assist with a suitable alternative, although we appreciate that this does not replace the convenience of having a functioning fridge in your room. I am also sorry that you were not satisfied with the initial response to your complaint. As the matter has already been escalated to our Operations Manager, we will ensure it receives the appropriate review and that you receive a response directly regarding your concerns. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and please accept our apologies for the disappointment and inconvenience you experienced. Kind regards, Mercure Paignton.

Our stay was comfortable but the memories soiled by the receipt today of a parking charge notice from Parking eye for your carpark which we paid in full for the 4 night stay £60! I think this must happen regularly from the reaction of the receptionist who has assured me the fine will be cancelled. I hope she is as good as her word for this! Not good for the Mercure name!!

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am pleased to hear that your stay itself was comfortable, but I completely understand how receiving a parking charge after returning home has unfortunately overshadowed your experience. I am very sorry for the frustration and concern this has caused, particularly as you had paid the full £60 parking charge for your four-night stay. I am pleased that you have already spoken with our reception team and they have been able to assist. Where a parking charge has been issued incorrectly, our team will work with the parking operator to have this reviewed and, where appropriate, cancelled. We appreciate how disappointing it is to receive a notice like this following an otherwise comfortable stay, and I am sorry that it has left you with a negative final impression of the Mercure Paignton. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope this matter is resolved for you quickly. Kind regards, Mercure Paignton.

Michelle H. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Good check-in experience, nice clean modern bedroom over looking the bay. Nice outside sitting space. Food menu very limited, room service food (panini) over priced, next to no filling in them. Breakfast adequate. Bar staff very slow, un-observant even when there is only a couple of people standing at the bar waiting to be served.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you had a good check-in experience and enjoyed your clean, modern bedroom overlooking the bay, as well as our outdoor seating area. I am sorry, however, that your experience with our food and bar service did not meet the same standard. We appreciate your comments regarding the limited menu choice and the value and quality of the room service panini. The amount of filling should certainly reflect both the description and price of the item, and we will share your feedback with our Head Chef as we continue to review our food offering. We are also disappointed to hear that the bar service felt slow and inattentive. Guests should be acknowledged promptly, even when a colleague cannot serve them immediately, and this is something we will reinforce with our Food & Beverage team. Thank you also for your comments regarding breakfast. We want breakfast to be more than simply adequate, so your feedback will form part of our continued focus on improving the overall food and beverage experience. Thank you again for your balanced and constructive comments. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Mercure Paignton and provide a more consistent experience next time. Kind regards, Mercure Paignton.

This is a light modern and comfortable hotel. We had a superior room overlooking the sea. The room was well equipped, and the bed was super comfy. The breakfast was a buffet with plenty of choice. We also ate in the hotel a couple of evenings, the food was tasty and great value. Paignton itself in some areas is a little tired but there is a lovely harbour area and a promenade to walk along. There is very easy access to other areas by public transport, ferries or steam train. All in all a great experience.

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the modern and comfortable feel of the hotel and particularly your Superior room overlooking the sea. It is great to know that you found the room well equipped and the bed super comfortable. We are also really pleased that you enjoyed the variety at breakfast and chose to dine with us on a couple of evenings. Hearing that you found the food both tasty and great value is fantastic feedback, which we will be delighted to share with our Kitchen and Food & Beverage teams. Our location makes us a great base for exploring the English Riviera, whether on foot along the promenade and harbour or travelling further afield by train, ferry or the wonderful steam railway. Thank you again for choosing the Mercure Paignton. We are delighted that you had such a great overall experience and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing seaside stay very soon. Kind regards, Mercure Paignton.

Mostly good. Tasty dinner and breakfast. Most staff were excellent; friendly and helpful Nice room, Shame about the view. Couple of little niggles only. On arrival, I was met with an impatient receptionist, who asked me to fill in the details on screen for my car. But then skipped the page I was trying to read and repeated for me to fill in my car details. Also, I do feel that a fresh bottle of water for each guest should be standard for each day of your stay, and not just on day of arrival, as I was told when I asked for one.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your balanced feedback. We are pleased to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay, particularly your room, dinner and breakfast. It is also wonderful to know that the majority of our team made such a positive impression with their friendly and helpful service. I am sorry, however, that your welcome at reception did not reflect that same standard. Check-in should feel warm and unhurried, and you should have been given the time you needed to read and complete the information on screen without feeling rushed. We also appreciate your comments regarding the complimentary bottled water, we completely understand your point that daily water would be a welcome touch, and feedback such as yours is useful as we continue to review the overall guest experience and benefits provided. Finally, we are sorry that the outlook from your room was not quite what you had hoped for. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and for recognising the many positive aspects of your stay. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to the Mercure Paignton in the future. Kind regards, Mercure Paignton.

Excellent reception staff, but restaurant staff could do better. Parking is tight and not guaranteed (even after you've paid). The enormous bed was very comfortable and the room facilities were good. Breakfast choices were good,but standard of cooking varied from day to day.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your balanced feedback. We are delighted to hear that our reception team made such a positive impression and that you found your room well equipped, with a particularly large and comfortable bed. We are sorry, however, that the service in our restaurant did not consistently match the standard you experienced at reception. It is also disappointing to hear that, although you enjoyed the choice available at breakfast, the quality of the cooking varied from day to day. Consistency is incredibly important, and we will share your comments with our Kitchen and Food &. Beverage teams. We also appreciate your feedback regarding parking. Our on-site spaces are limited and can be quite tight, and unfortunately availability cannot always be guaranteed. We recognise how frustrating this can feel, particularly when parking has already been paid for, and it highlights the importance of making the arrangements as clear as possible to guests before arrival. Thank you again for your constructive comments. We are pleased that there were many positive aspects to your stay and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Mercure Paignton for an even better experience in the future. Kind regards, Mercure Paignton.

Breakfast service is appalling. Only one coffee station working and hot water dispenser out of order. The working station situated in between kitchen door and bar service area. As all the guests queuing for drinks it was unsafe with staff carrying trays etc and 5/6 guests gathered in a queue. No teaspoons in the place, no dishes for preserves, tables left dirty.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am very sorry that your breakfast experience fell below the standard we expect. Unfortunately, one of our coffee machines is currently out of service and we are awaiting its repair. We appreciate that this is causing additional pressure on the remaining drinks station during busy breakfast periods, and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused during your visit. While the equipment issue is being resolved, it remains our responsibility to manage the service effectively and safely. I am particularly concerned by your comments regarding queues forming in an area where our team are moving between the kitchen and bar carrying trays, and we will review how we manage this while the second machine is unavailable. The lack of teaspoons and dishes for preserves, together with tables being left uncleared, is also disappointing and should have been managed much better by the team. Breakfast should be a relaxed and enjoyable start to the day, and we recognise that your experience was far from this. We are working to have the coffee machine repaired as soon as possible and, in the meantime, will focus on improving the organisation and management of the breakfast service. Please accept our sincere apologies, and thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. Kind regards, Mercure Paignton.

Had a family holiday here with 4 rooms booked. Rooms were very comfortable with good space and lighting. Breakfast was self serv but still hot which was a win. Bar open all night and didn’t feel like too much trouble when having a late night drink. Good location. Close to everything we wanted. Would recommend and will definitely stay again.

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your fantastic review and recommendation. We are delighted that you and your family had such an enjoyable stay with us across all four rooms. It is wonderful to hear that you found the bedrooms spacious, comfortable and well presented, and that you enjoyed a hot and satisfying breakfast each morning.

Providing warm, welcoming service whatever the time of day is exactly the experience we want our guests to have, and we will be delighted to share your feedback with the team. It is also great to know that our location worked so well for your family, with everything you wanted to enjoy within easy reach.
