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.

Overnight stay for works Christmas do. The room was ok. Tired and in need of decorating. Noisy because of the road outside. Disappointing lack of parking although we knew that before we came. Made life difficult!

My friend and I requested a twin room for one night. We were offered one on the top floor which had no lift. My friend has COPD so couldn’t manage the stairs. We were offered an upgrade on the ground floor. The room was nice and we had no issues with it until we went to bed. There was a small radiator on the wall near the window which was on and too hot to touch and making a noise with the water going through it. We assumed it would go off through the night. After 2.5 hours of listening to the noise and becoming overheated, I got up to turn the radiator off and open the window to let some cool air in. There was no thermostat on the radiator and only one window would open slightly, the other had a lock on. Frustrated, my friend went to reception to ask iif someone could help. A man came to have a look and went off to get some pliers. 20 minutes later (2.50am) we were still waiting. My friend went back to reception and they gave her a key for another room on the top floor and showed her to a lift (which previously they had said they didn’t have). They then took us to another room on the top floor with a double bed. I said the room wasn’t suitable (I had booked a twin room). My friend just needed to sleep and opted to stay in the room. I went back downstairs and asked them to open the other window as I had earplugs I just needed it to be cooler. This was 3.10am. They couldn’t find a key! The next morning my friend had to walk through reception in her nightwear back to the room
