    Do recommend for a short weekend trip

    Comfortable room, convenient location, friendly staff, with a great breakfast included and just a short 10-minute walk to the nearest tube station.

    Everything was just perfect.

    Good stay with great staff

    We had a fun night away, family of four! Friendly staff, especially Natalia, who let us drop off our bags early. The rooms were spacious and super clean. Free soft drinks were a nice touch. It's just a short walk from the tube. Only thing, the bar area could be bigger. No complaints otherwise!

    cleaning services
    helpful staff

    We had an amazing group vacation, visiting a bus tour and the Melbourne Cricket Club Museum. The hotel is in a perfect spot, just a couple of minutes from the underground, and the cleaning services were daily. The staff were super helpful, making our stay feel comfortable. I'd totally recommend this place for hanging out with friends.

    easy bus tour
    cool restaurants
    cramped bathroom

    Had a great time with friends! We loved the easy bus tour nearby and visiting the Melbourne Cricket Club Museum. The hotel’s location is a bonus, surrounded by cool restaurants and shops. Just keep in mind that the rooms are on the smaller side, so don’t expect a ton of space. But the atmosphere and activities make it worth it.

    The only downside was the bathroom situation. It was quite cramped, making it a bit tricky to navigate. Could have used more space for sure.

    Had a pleasant stay at the Mercure! The room was cozy with a comfortable bed, perfect for relaxing after a long day of work. I particularly appreciated the modern amenities and the refreshing shower that made mornings much better. The location was fantastic, with easy access to public transport and nearby restaurants.

    The room was quite small with limited space to move around.

    Prime location near attractions, efficient check-in process, availability of local transport options

    Room sizes felt claustrophobic!!! Air conditioning struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to moments of discomfort. Noise levels between rooms were distracting at times, impacting relaxation during the stay!!!

    great location
    friendly staff
    very small room
    weak shower pressure

    the location is super convenient just a short walk to the tube, made gettin around london real easy. the staff were friendly and always helpful, especially this guy named imed who made me feel like a regular. breakfast was great, loads of options and tasty food. comfy bed too, i slept really well. really enjoyed my stay!

    however, the small double room was tiny, barely enough space to move. also, the shower pressure was weak, which was kinda annoying.

    lovely pool
    soothing massage
    fitness center
    breakfast variety

    I enjoyed lounging by the lovely pool and unwinding with a soothing massage during my stay. The fitness center had everything I needed for a great workout too. Although the breakfast could have had more variety, it didn’t take away from my overall experience. 😊

    smooth check-in
    rooftop terrace
    low shower pressure

    Checking in was smooth, and I loved how they stored my bags while I was out. The rooftop terrace and quiet lounge were perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The only hiccup was the shower pressure, which could use a little boost, but overall, had a great time here! 😊

    Surprisingly Cozy Spot Despite Challenges

    While my room felt snug, the breakfast at Bar One impressed me with its international menu and friendly service. I appreciated the cocktail options during happy hour. managing expectations about room size and maintenance is key. Maybe consider checking for updated rooms first.
