The room we got had a strange configuration. 25%of the rectangular room was cut off by the angled window. You had to climb over the bed to get to the other side. This made for an extremely small room, more like a ships cabin

Staff friendly, room not good for a 4star hotel. The blind had some tears in it and the wall was messy looking. It was as if someone had painted the wall using different shades of paint. The room was quite small. Bathroom and bath were nice. I have stayed in Travelodge previously in London and the beds and rooms are bigger and more comfortable for a quarter of the price.

Vicky

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff lied about room size saying we were in standard when we were in small but had booked standard and were condescending when talking to us, no blackout blinds and work area/desk as detailed in description. Shower was broken they fixed it and it broke again. Decaff coffee not refilled in room when used. Shower was broken. Noisy pub next door and staff allowed smokers to stand on terrace at entrance meaning the whole if reception stunk of stale smoke every time we walked in. Avoid at all costs

Good but don't expect what you get outside London

The staff were really great, helpful and considerate. The shower head was great and the room was clean. But there were some issues: 1) The restaurant was closed, we weren't told about this in advance or at check in only when we asked about eating there. They still had posters advertising the menu. 2)The room sizes are disproportionate to other Mercures. A superior King room in Bristol is double the size that the one in London. 3)There is clear signs of wear in the rooms. The paint was chipped, especially on the bathroom door where you can see it pealing. The shower curtain had black mould starting. The lift broke down briefly. The mattress was two pushed together. 4)casting to the TV doesnt work as the signal connection doesnt have internet.
