Hotel in great location, clean, fresh, good facilities, nice helpful staff. Room a little small but adequate for our one night stay. Not much in the way of wardrobe/drawers, but adequate for a very short stay. Would return here again thank you to the staff

Reasonable hotel in a good location
Good stay. Hotel was very well located for what we needed. Just 5 mins from the tube and an easy walk to covent garden, west end etc. The bed was very small though, defintely did not feel like a full size double bed. We also appeared to only have one bath towel for the 2 of us, though we found another one hidden in a drawer but this was after we'd already showered. The hotel did feel a little tired/dated for the price, but overall it served the prupose we needed for one night in the capital. Staff were very friendly.

Superior king room
Wouldn't rate this as 4star. We had a superior king room, it was 2 single beds pushed together but they both dipped in the middle. Decor/paintwork tired. Staff were friendly and helpful

Unfortunately, the electricity and water was not available at checking in due to hotel issues. This was fixed by the time I got back to the hotel late that night. I booked for a king size bed but given 2 singles. Again, this was resolved by the time I returned to the hotel late that night. Issue I had was calling the reception which took about 30 mins albeit they are open 24/7, I just kept getting voicemails. Reception was slow too. Clearly in answering calls, but also in dealing with customers. On the plus side, they are courteous and polite. As for the room, I returned to the hotel to find that there were skid marks in my toilet when I hadn’t used it the whole day, having been out. The water was also turned on in the sink. Unfortunately I did not find out till the next morning so I had not bothered to complain to management. The room is also small and not modern. Bearing in mind it is a 4 star hotel, I think Novotel with similar ranking is a lot better. Double tree Hilton which is just a few doors down may also be a better option. I won’t be returning. The toilet was a big no no for me.

Excellent location, room was small but standard for London, appreciated there being a fridge and iron in the room. Staff were all very nice and they allowed us to have a late check out, which we really appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

This was a really lovely hotel. The staff were extremely nice. Check-in was super easy and quick. The room was nice, tho small compared to other rooms we've stayed in - not a problem for us tho. Its super close to the underground so getting around is very easy. The park nearby is lovely and has a wonderful cafe that serves delicious breakfast. The hotel is very quiet.

This was the first time I had stayed at the Mercure. Check in was easy, the lift to the floor my room was on had a menu for the bar, however when I went down, I was informed they didn’t do any food, which was disappointing. The next evening I decided to have a drink in the bar. The member of staff had obviously had very little or no training in bar duties. It took him 20mins to serve three drinks, when he got to me and took my order, he began to look in the fridges for red wine. Although there were bottles on a shelf behind the bar. He phoned someone for help, found the bottle but it was near empty. On telling me they had run out of red wine, I decided to cut my losses and go to my room. I would never blame the staff member as he obviously was out of his depth and should have had more support. Oh, pillows are all soft, which is a minor complaint however, important.
