Disappointed

I was very impressed with the staff. Friendly and professional. However, everything that came out of the kitchen was cold. Coffee or burger etc. COLD. Not warm. Cold. Also the banisters and handrails going up to the room, black with dirt. I don’t think they have ever been wiped down. Carpets were clean but the hoover stored on the landing. Pack it away. I don’t want to feel like I’m entering dorm rooms on campus. Bathrooms clean. Room a bit small for a twin but ok. Would be useful to have a mirror any place where the hairdryer can reach.

Uncontrolled temperature in rooms. Far too hot

No temperature control and extremely hot. The windows had to be opened to let some air in despite the icy conditions . We left a day early due to this

If you want a good night sleep avoid this hotel

It was the first time my wife and I were able to get a night away from our toddler in over a year. We wanted a night to relax and unwind so we picked the Mercure hotel as we expected a standard. Unfortunately it seems they spent more money on decor than they did the building itself, with almost no soundproofing. The result was an upstairs room which woke us up almost every hour especially from 4.30am. We could hear every footstep, toilet habit, muffled conversation and then their TV. At 6.30am we eventually just packed our bags and drove home only having about 2-3hours sleep.

Christmas trip to Oxford

Really friendly staff. Room comfortable & great shower. free breakfast was tasty with good options. Noisy the first morning with builders working opposite hotel and the very small corridors meant that you could hear other guests coming back if they were inconsiderate and talking loudly (Woken up at 1:30 and 3:30). Poor range of drinks in bar and no bar snacks. Never actually saw anyone in there or in restaurant. However, plenty of options outside and would stay again. Convenient for where we needed to be in Oxford.

I chose this property for the price and its location which was close to my daughter’s college. Since we would be traveling with lots of luggage, I had made sure to book a hotel with a lift. However, I didn’t find a step free access from the street to the lobby, and when we were given our room keys we realized it was in a wing of the hotel which was located down a staircase. (Not what I expected and I didn’t think to ask for a different room at the time.) Other than that, this property is in a good location, was clean and quiet.
