Great location shame about the AC

Good hotel, great location. Car park too small get there early to get a space. AC never seems to work, think each room needs an ac service

Extra charge, plus extra charge!!!!

Decent hotel, in a pretty much perfect location. Gymnasium usage was complimentary (but the facility wasn't very good). Use of the pool/jacuzzi carried an additional charge, even if you were a hotel guest. Parking also carried an additional charge. Very clever, seeing as guests would be charged to park anywhere else they found nearby.

Sheena, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Stay here quite often on business and unfortunately there seems to be a gradual decline in maintenance and general condition. The air conditioning in the rooms is still not working and in the room I had this time the TV would not function. It’s not a cheap hotel and the service/ food and pool area usually great however the rooms themselves really need some attention.

Mr, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great hotel but air con issues left me hot.

Stayed here before and previously had issues with the air conditioning which again on this trip was broken leading to an uncomfortable nights sleep. Otherwise love this hotel, great pool, breakfast and service. Staff apologised and offered free drink etc but being able to sleep in a cool room is an essential for me so would make me think twice about booking again.

8/10 Very good

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).
Pamela, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bday weekend stay

Lovely stay for birthday weekend, complimentary drinks and some other lovely bits. Comfortable room, including bathroom essentials. Excellent location for town. Overall lovely stay
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good location for the centre of the City

Very good location for the centre of the City, next to the Roman wall with the Cathedral on the other side. Peeved that the gym was free but the pool, sauna etc. was £10 per session, but that was a minor niggle. Bar food decent and fairly priced. Used as a base to explore Exeter and beyond.

Air con rooms is a lie

This was my second stay this year with the last approx 5 months ago. On that occasion, the air conditioning was not working in the more expensive privilege rooms and the staff informed me they knew, and this had been the case for months. With the recent warm weather, I checked the website to make sure the privilege rooms are being listed as including having air conditioning as they are more expensive and in fact, they do confirm this as a feature. Low and behold, five months on there is still no air-conditioning, but they are happy to take your extra money and promote it.

Naomi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Aimi, 1-night trip

The room and bed were comfortable. Excellent shower. We enjoyed our stay.

Heatwave stay

I checked in on an incredibly hot day when the air conditioning wasn't working as it should. The lady at reception moved my room without being asked to make sure the room I was checked into had air con. When I got to my room, it had clearly been prepared with the heat in mind - the curtains were closed against the direct sunlight and a fan was running - the room was lovely and cool, a nice reprieve from the heat outside. Staff are polite and incredibly helpful.
