"We stayed at the Mercure for one night when attending a wedding at the Town Hall which was literally opposite the hotel. We were a bit worried after reading some of the reviews on here, but we found our room (Privilege Room 511) to be clean, in good condition and well furnished. If you looked closely there were areas around the edge of the room and behind the door in the bathroom which could have been hoovered better, but that's the same in any hotel. We were also missing the bottles of water but that wasn't the end of the world and I'm sure we could have asked for them if needed. Breakfast was good with both continental breakfast and a limited cooked breakfast. Standard check out of 12pm was really useful with plenty of time to get ready in the morning. Only one lift was working so it was quite busy with a bit of a delay but it wasn't an issue and we could always use the stairs. The Q car park was within easy reach. We would definitely stay here again."
"Room in need of a refurb and dated. Aircon did not work and room was unbearably hot. We asked about aircon at reception and were told there is none and to use the fan in the wardrobe. The fan made no difference. We had the window open and it was unbearably hot and we did not sleep well due to the heat and from the noise outside. We were woken in the early hours by car horns from the road and the dustbin men around 6am being very noisy. We would avoid staying here again."
"Absolutely horrible experience. Forget complimentary water bottles—there wasn’t even a glass available in the room. When I contacted reception, I was told I needed to earn points just to access such basic amenities. That’s completely unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. I would genuinely prefer staying in a budget hotel over paying premium rates for Hilton. Extremely disappointing, and I won’t be choosing Hilton again."
