The Mercure is clean but the decor is tired and in need of refurbishment. The reception staff are worth the 5 stars in my review - they are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Truly wonderful staff. Even the cleaners were friendly - so refreshing.

Ideal location

Ideal location for visiting five sisters zoo and the alpine coaster. Room was dated but was spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. Check in staff were lovely as were the bar staff. Our room was on the ground floor and we were not disturbed from the car park or other guests. Would definitely visit again

Staff at reception were excellent, the bar staff were friendly and the cleaners were not only polite but also very friendly. They all are a credit to the company. The hotel itself while clean could do with a little revamp but otherwise can’t be faulted.
