I stayed here after a long shift at work. One I got to the room. The tv remotes didn’t work and there was no hot water when having a shower. This was the same in evening and morning. When I went to report in morning no one was around.

They don’t except cash which isn’t stated on any part of their website I was allocated a room 2 single beds no double and that was an “upgrade” I complained and was given another room with 3 single beds. I was too tired in the end to complain. The hotel smells like it hasn’t had a deep clean in years. The reception staff are useless & rude

Rooms small (which some of them in central London are), but worn. Bed very soft, furnishings worn, can hear TVs from other rooms, Feels like 3+. The price was cheap so fair enough but wouldn't stay here again.

Customer review rating 4.1/5

Stephen Business - 21/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

No instant hot water. According to the receptionist, you need to let the shower run for at least 20mins. First night, I had to bathe with almost cold water. The following morning, after running the shower for more than 20mins and couldn't wait, I had to enter the shower and bathe with Luke warm water. There is black mold around the shower tray; disappointing to see this in a 4 star hotel. The carpet in the hallway is even cleaner and better looking than the one in the room I stayed. What a shame for a 4 star hotel.

Dear Stephen A., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure London Bloomsbury Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Unfortunatelly, due to the very low occupancy rate we are having at the moment,hot water takes long time to come and there is nothing we can do about it ... we usually advice our guests to let the watter run for a moment before taking shower. Seems that we forgot and I am very sorry for this... At Mercure, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Thibault Front Office Manager

As you say - well located for access to the University Hospitals which is where I needed to go, the service was good given the covid restrictions however the reservation was a bit messed up but I don't think it was only due to the Mercure staff / system, anyway it was easily rectified.

Heidi B. Families - 04/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Shocking, room was too hot asked why air conditioning wasn’t working , called reception was told it was switched off and to open the windows! On a main road with heavy traffic! Shower was cold and had no pressure unable to wash hair! Asked for some mugs so I could make a cup of tea was given paper cups! 4 star I don’t think so . My son was in hospital we had to stay another night so we booked another hotel for £45 including breakfast. I paid £169 for the stay with you and this was no where near value for money.

Only sanitiser was on front desk. There was a new container by floor 3, but not in use. None in room. Surfaces in room did not appear to have been sanitised and I had a very stained upholstered chair in my room which I covered with a bath towel in order to use. I didn’t see anyone sanitise lift buttons or door handles during my stay. Staff on front desk were helpful as far as their rather limited English went. Breakfast bag had a good selection and location was ideal for my hospital visit.

Customer review rating 4.1/5

Charlie Solo - 21/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I can’t really fault the hotel....it was ‘fine’ the decor is very dated and the room quite small. Not sure what perfume/air freshener is used in the lobby and stairwells but it is over powering. Power sockets nowhere near the bed is a bit annoying. Not sure how hotel chains like this will survive. I stayed in the premier inn kings cross before this and it was a gorgeous hotel and lovely room and £40 per night instead of the £80 here. Take note or I fear the future will not be bright. Sorry if this seems negative like I said the room did what it said on the tin just the competition are doing far better and cheaper!
