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
Room wasn’t ready until 3pm, an hour after it should have been

Just stayed for 1 night but wish it could have been 2. All staff super friendly & accommodating, room spotless as was the whole hotel, lovely Christmas decorations & pool, sauna & jacuzzi amazing
Arrived on a Saturday afternoon, no parking available at the hotel. Parked in Magdolen at car park 2 mins walk from hotel and cheaper
Check in was straightforward. Our room was clean and comfortable.
Staff we interacted with were friendly. Would stay again
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.
really nice stay with staff just as friendly as our first visit. just the lack of care of the car park from the days snow which can’t always be helped understandably
My wife's birthday treat so we could eat at Cote and relax with pool and jacuzzi. On arrival informed pool was out of action but might be back on later. In the room was a birthday card and chocs from the hotel and 2 free drinks at the bar. After a nice evening at Cote we settled down but noticed just a coffee machine on show. It was 5 am and no reply from room service or the desk. So we had to drink pink wine.. 8.30 dressed and visited the desk. Told the Pool was back on and that tea and milk were in a cupboard under the TV. Back to the room and found tea facilities in a cupboard.. visited Pool but it was very cold .. sauna and jacuzzi were good. So would I return.. after all the drama. .. Absolutely .. after all location is perfect for Xmas market, shops and Cote. and now I know where they hide the tea and kettle.

Great hotel in central but quiet location near Exeter Cathedral, with friendly & helpful staff. Disappointed with new charges of £10 per visit since April 2024 for hotel guests to use the pool & spa.
An overnighter in Exeter to see a music concert, the room was very tidy and clean and the bed comfortable. I was given an opportunity to preorder wine, champagne or beer for the room, I requested wine, weird I thought the system didn't ask whether I wanted red, white or rose and upon arrival there was no record of the request and then the price came into question, the pre booking was £20 yet initially I was quoted £25, to Mercures credit they instantly changed the price to £20 and delivered the wine to the room with a. Couple of glasses...and the wine was very good 👍
