We enjoyed our stay. Some areas were looking a little worse for wear, mainly round the pipes and radiators. The Shower needed work. Dials were stiff and difficult to turn. The power was difficult to adjust, the bracket was not stiff enough and the water pressure would push against the head moving the stream of water.

Food wasn’t great and expensive! Noises all night so poor nights sleep - every time the main door was opened it creates a draft that made other doors sound like someone was knocking on the door really loudly. Good spa - shame jacuzzi wasn’t working properly.

Disappointing stay

Customer review rating 4.0/5

Peter C. Couples - 23/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Arrived 11pm and given a superior room with air conditioning blowing cold air on a cold night.Desk staff tried to convince me that changing settings and waiting 45 minutes would solve problem.After 2 calls at 15 minute intervals advising staff no change,they accepted request to find me another room.As I was shown new room staff member was still trying to convince me that if had waited in the other room it would eventually have been ok.He was rude and walked off without leaving key or.Fortunately the other member of staff was more understanding and he came to help with luggage to move in an upstairs room.By then it was after midnight and we were too stressed to sleep! The positives were the bed was good and the wellbeing centre was also good. The rooms need refurbishing,no drawers for clothes storage and the safe was hard to use as it is on the floor! Hot breakfast good,lack of fruits,breads and pastries poor Asked for slight delay in departure,advised it would cost £10/hour!!!Having stayed in numerous Accor hotels around the world I have never had such a blunt reply....not asking how long or checking bookings.

We were there sadly for a funeral so we didn’t take advantage of all you had to offer. The rooms were great, staff was friendly and competent. My only complaint is that breakfast was awful, my cousins and I gave it a 3. However I did have a great, nicely served sandwich for lunch.

My partner and I visited for two nights for a valentines weekend and it was absolutely lovely. The hotel location was superb, the room had everything we needed and the facilities were wonderful additions to our stay. It was hard for us to call the room down due to the window restrictions and the radiators being on full (we couldn't seem to find the temperature adjustment) but once we'd aired the room for most of the day, it was comfortable enough to sleep.

Dear Emma J., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure St Albans Noke Hotel. I'm delighted yourself and your partner enjoyed your valentines weekend.

Cancelled for health reasons

Customer review rating 4.0/5

John Couples - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

My wife was diagnosed with Shingles a couple of days before we were due to stay. She was told that she must not come into contact with anyone who was pregnant, or who was undergoing chemotherapy, as the danger to them would be considerable. Although my wife felt perfectly well, and able to travel, we decided that it would be unfair to your own staff, and other guests at the hotel, to go ahead with our visit. I explained this to the staff at the hotel, and then to your central reservations team, and asked whether it would be possible to have a refund as we were not travelling due to concern for others. This was met with a blank 'No refund'. I am seriously unimpressed.

The reason for our stay was to meet up with past working colleagues in a reunion. The main part was a dinner with entertainment.

Stayed for 2 nights for a wedding held locally. Was a little disappointed on arrival that there was no mention on the system that I had requested an early check-in, despite getting a reply from the hotel saying although it couldn't be guaranteed it was unlikely to be a problem. Fortunately a room was available. The room was comfortable, breakfast was great although a little noisy on the Sunday. The shower was jammed, I couldn't turn it on, maintenance were called, arrived immediately and sorted it out. Would stay again!

Karla B. Couples - 17/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We booked as we were going to Harry Potter Studios, location was fab, we came from South wales so nice easy drive and hotel located just off the M25. I pre booked 2 course dinner in the restaurant, food was absolutely great, good choice aswell as nicely cooked. Our room was disappointing. The walls were really thin, and we had noisy neighbours. This resulted in me having to ring reception twice, once at 10pm and then again at 2am, to tell them to be quiet. The rooms could also do with updating. While they were surfacely clean, they could definitely do with an upgrade compared to other hotels I have stayed in within the same sort of budget.
