Unfortunately both my husband and I were quite shocked at how dated this hotel was. The room we were staying in resembled a nursing home with really old dated dark furniture and an old people’s arm chair in the corner. The halls of the hotel are similar to a 1980s office building with all the room doors in dark wood that’s all scuffed. On a positive note the bed was very comfortable and we had a good nights sleep and location is good but definitely not worth the £148 which we paid for a standard double room with parking. We wouldn’t stay again.

The old Mercure is rebranding. It’s still the same tatty and hideous building but the staff are always friendly and helpful. I had a refurbished room overlooking the cathedral which was very quiet and pleasant. Rooms at the back are noisier.

Like this hotel having stayed before. The room was very comfortable and generally quiet although we did get an early wake up (before 06.00) due to refuse collection but it has to be done. The only points we were not particularly impressed with was that the bathroom bin had not been emptied before we arrived and contained used sanitary products. Also, for the price we would have expected the bed to be made and it wasn't.
