Room was very cold, had to warm it up with an old heating system. Work was being done at 7:30am, banging and drilling next door to our room. There was a non-stop hissing sound from bathroom vent and water leaking from bathroom ceiling down the bathroom light and dripping down the bathtub.

The staff were brilliant. Warm, welcoming and friendly and happy to help. The room was ok but the noise from the room above wasn't. We were woken up early by footsteps, conversation and the tv. Suggest this is a soundproofing issue.

I recognize that this may have added to the overall difficulty of the situation.I want to express my regret that we couldn't accommodate your refund request.

Confused staff??
I booked 6 rooms here for friends after a Christmas party. I even went into see them to ensure the rooms were all allocated correctly. 2 double rooms and 2 lots of 2 rooms adjoining as they were families with young children. Sadly that was a waste of time as the pre allocated rooms weren’t given to them on arrival! I spent half an hour with the receptionist over a week before the party who even showed me which rooms they’d all have. The man who then checked my friends in even argued the case with them saying you Can’t allocate rooms! When you book a hotel,(and give them quite some business paying for 6 rooms) and go out your way to ensure it’s correct you expect better service! I had a family split with children all under 10 not in adjoining rooms as promised!

Dear Daniel We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the room allocation issue during your friends' stay. It is disheartening to hear that despite your efforts in pre-allocating the rooms, there was a discrepancy upon their arrival.Your commitment to ensuring a smooth experience for your friends and their families is greatly appreciated, and we understand how important it is for everyone to have the accommodations they expected, especially after a festive event.We apologize for any confusion caused by the miscommunication between your pre-allocated room assignments and the actual room assignments provided upon check-in. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to deliver, and we take this matter very seriously.We will thoroughly investigate what went wrong in the room allocation process and take corrective measures to prevent such incidents in the future. We value your feedback, and it will serve as a valuable tool for improvement in our service.To make amends for the inconvenience caused, we would like to offer our sincere apologies and ask for an opportunity to discuss this matter further. If you could provide more details or contact our customer service, we would appreciate the chance to address your concerns and make things right.Once again, we apologize for falling short of your expectations, and we thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.Warm regards,

Sadly lacking.
Long wait in reception at check in. No staff to be seen. No welcome when they did appear. Not enough pillows. Nobody on reception to report this to or ask for extra. Nobody at the bar so couldn't get a drink. Decor and bathroom tired. Door hanging off wardrobe with protruding screw. Couldnt sit up in bed and lean on headboard because bed ahot across the room! Window didn't shut and the electric heater was not working and.was not properly attached to the wall. Hot water and heated towel rail were good. We werent offered breakfast so we didn't have any! Nobody at reception when we checked out so couldnt raise any of these issues in person.

A restless night
The hotel looks rather tired inside & the room I was in was in need of some TLC. (Room 137) particularly the bathroom. There was mildew over the tiles. Very old bath with a shower curtain that attacked you when in shower! The sink had a crack in it. The extractor in bathroom was very noisy and permanently on but seemed to be blowing air out rather than extracting it! It also smelt very odd in the bathroom! I couldn’t see how to turn off the extractor fan. So it was on very loud all night. Seemed to get noisier when the person in the room had a shower!? I wondered if their extractor was actually extracting into my bathroom? Had I realised this extractor was faulty and would get worse through the night I would’ve contacted reception. However I was exhausted after a stressful day & in bed. Obviously I didn’t sleep at all well! Noise also from people talking loudly in corridors at 4.30 am. Then again noise from cleaners at 7 am! The radiator in the bedroom looked very old and rusty. The windows were dirty. Again upon check out I would have mentioned that the extractor was faulty and I didn’t have a particularly good nights sleep but the receptionist did not ask me how my stay was. Although she did ask the couple in front of me. Perhaps when she saw my room number she didn’t dare ask!! So a disappointing stay. I’ve stated in Mercure chain of hotels before & they are normally pretty good.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your recent stay and dining experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your visit. Your feedback is essential to us as it helps us identify areas for improvement.We regret that your check-in experience was marred by the news of the hotel being fully booked, and we understand that this was not the ideal way to start your stay. We will review our communication procedures to ensure that guests are informed in a more considerate manner.We are truly sorry for the wait and inconvenience you faced during dinner service. This is not indicative of the high standard of service we aim to provide. The shortage of wine and the delay in offering an alternative is certainly not the level of service we aspire to deliver. We will address this issue with our restaurant team to ensure better coordination and service in the future.Your feedback regarding the quality of the food is also concerning, and we will work closely with our culinary team to improve the consistency and presentation of our dishes.Regarding breakfast, we will review our reservation policies to ensure that guests have a seamless experience without the need for additional bookings.We deeply regret that your stay did not meet your expectations, and we understand your decision not to return.
