Scott Business - 17/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

good stay, nice facilities Just a shame about the fire alarm going off in the middle of the nice on 2 separate occasions

Dear Mr. R. Thank you for your feedback and your kindness while staying with us. We very much appreciate your comments regarding the satisfaction of your stay here at Mercure Bedford Centre Hotel. As I do understand that fire alarms can be frustrating especially at night time, however fire alarms are designed to protect us and keep us safe from the dangers that we may have had experienced during your stay. The reason for the fire alarm on that day was one of the guests in the room didn’t turn on the air ventilation in the bathroom which caused the steam to set off the fire alarm. According to the Laws and regulations, if we do not follow the Health and safety evacuation procedures, we can be served with penalties. Therefore, an evacuation must take place to ensure the safety of our guests. I’m afraid that we have to follow these regulations strictly. Please rest assured that your health and safety is our first priority and I am truly sorry that this happened to you during your stay. Thank you again for your feedback and should you travels bring you back to Bedford please don’t hesitate to contact me personally to get the best available rates on your next visit. Best Regards, Wiktoria

Alessandra M. Couples - 03/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed with you for our wedding night. We loved our stay with you. The room was great, the bed was amazing, one of the best nights sleep we've had in ages. Everything was of excellent standard. The only downfall was that when I booked it said we would have free soft drinks and was told that due to COVID all fridges have been emptied, which is understandable, however there was no alternative for the free soft drinks, which is one of the reasons we booked with you.

Dear ALESSANDRA m., Thank you very much for your great comment and it was a pleasure to host you. We have removed all soft drinks in all our Privileged rooms inline with our Covid-19 protocols and measures that we have putted in place, However I am disappointed to learn that our team did not give you an alternative choice as we would normally invite our guests to our Bar to use the benefits of the Privileged rooms in order to have a relaxing time. Please rest assured that I have now personally addressed your points to the relevant teams in order to prevent any future re-occurrence. Please let me know if you have any plans of returning to Bedford so I could personally take care of your reservation. Please contact me at HB… and I will ensure you another pleasant stay here with us. I hope to welcome you back with open arms as our regular guests during your visit here in the beautiful county town of Bedfordshire. Sincerely, Jason McAlpine Front Office Manager
