Hotel is lovely, and service is first class, however it really could do with new windows, current ones are not double glazed, we were at the front near to the entrance so we had a lot of noise from people smoking and taxis dropping people off. Windows look very shabby too

The hotel needs a refurb or to reduce the price of the rooms. Charging £10 for a swim isn't really on either

6/10 Good

Excellent location otherwise very standard
The staff were very welcoming. Parking was good and very convenient (albeit slightly pricier than the multistorey which was a 2 minute walk away). We had booked for early check in however on arrival told this was not possible as the room was not ready. Had we known, our travel plans would have been altered to accommodate this. The room was standard ... I am not sure the price was justified for the room. The bed was not overly comfy. There were few amenities in the room - empty bar, no hairdryer, no extra pillows or towels , very sub standard coffee supplies. Small things that were expected for the price of the room. For us the biggest inconvenience was a power outage during our stay which left us with no electricity and no running hot water for a period of time. Although this was unavoidable and not in the hotels control, we had hoped at the least an apology for the inconvenience. The location of the hotel is excellent if you want to explore the city.

Not the best in the end
Hotel was good, room great size and great location. Unfortunately our room was directly above the main entrance, and as there was a party on, the main smoking area was directly under our window- was extremely noisy until past one in the morning. We also had a blue light shining up on the outside the entrance directly into our room, aircon did not work so room was very hot

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our stay overall. It was a little spoiled that the AC was not working in the first room we were allocated. I had paid for an upgrade too. We were moved to another room without any fuss and I was refunded on checkout. The hotel is well located, close to the Cathedral and a 5 minute walk to the quayside. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was clean and comfortable. A special mention to Alice & Peter who helped us when we had to move rooms. We will return to the Mercure, hopefully for a little longer, soon. We highly recommend this hotel.
