We booked to use the gym then found out it was not open as it was being refurbished. The air con/heating was so noisy it kept us throughout the night. However, it was warm and the room was smart with a nice hot shower. The location is great but no nice view from our particular roo
.
Rooms and public areas in good condition . Hotel in good location for Bedford. Only comment is that the outside of the building and steps in don’t make the place look appealing .
I did not have breakfast.
The room was good and what I had booked. The room amenities where great .

Lovely, spacious room with a great view of the river. Unfortunately the room was ridiculously warm, even with air con on as low as it would go. Mould in the shower, and the carpet didnt seem to hsvr been vacuumed properly.
Overall, a great stay. The hotel isn’t pretty from the outside, but it makes up for it inside. I found the rooms to be more modern than other Mercure Hotels that I have stayed in. The breakfast was excellent. Plenty to choose from and fresh too. Great value for money and would definitely stay there again.

Good hotel
Good hotel. No issues during our stay. Hotel is a bit dated and tired from outside but lobby and rooms are quite nice. Car parks a little tricky to get into with narrow high entrance kerbs so watch your alloys! Nice area with good view of the river
Handy for the town centre with lovely views of the river from the bar/restaurant.
Great welcome and quick check in.
Rooms nicely decorated and comfortable bed.
Not good service by Receptionist on arrival. She seemed pleasant enough but was ‘snarky’ and smug.
Room cold and heating controlled by hotel.
Lift not level on occasion and our concern dismissed.
Another receptionist refused to freeze our cooler pack ice block saying not allowed whereas waiter said it was fine.
Very limited menu.
Fab view from our room and we would only return because of that.

Perfect location for having meeting at Bedford College as the hotel is just across the street.
The reception staff were really nice and friendly.
My third stay and the best so far. Previously I've been in rooms that have an interconnecting door and there's been some noise. This room was smaller but perfect for my needs and the aircon on a hot sunny day was a delight on entering the room.
