Excellent value for money

Great stay at the Mercure. We had a double room that was generous on space, a very comfy bed and a lovely bathroom. We came back to the bar late evening and the service was excellent. It is perfectly placed to be able to walk into the centre of town or the quay in five minutes. It has its own car park which is a bonus too.

Too hot!

Told air conditioning wasn't working on arrival but could open windows. Windows didnt open. Small fan available which did nothing. Hardly slept as room so warm and stuffy. Furniture looked old and bed frame had a rip in it.

Comfortable stay

A spacious hotel, comfy beds and nice bathrooms, if a little dated in places. Only a one night stop for a family occasion, really well positioned in the city and easy parking (although chargeable).

Friendly staff and lovely breakfast with lots of choice. Wanted to use the pool and jacuzzi and was disappointed to hear there was a £10 charge per person. This seems wrong when he you are staying overnight as a hotel guest. Hotel in great position for shopping, cathedral and the quay.

Was a little bit wary having seen some recent not so good reviews, but everything was excellent from the front desk team to the room and breakfast. Great hotel, great location, parking a real bonus on a very busy weekend in Exeter..
