We had a lovely stay. The hotel room was ample, with furnishings catering to our needs. The view from our window over the cathedral was spectacular, and we appreciated the hotel's centrality; we could pop in and out as we needed. The price of the breakfast was a little steep; we only indulged once, but would have liked to more: there was a good range of healthy options available. I was really sorry to leave this excellent accommodation at the end of our holiday.

Unfortunately both my husband and I were quite shocked at how dated this hotel was. The room we were staying in resembled a nursing home with really old dated dark furniture and an old people’s arm chair in the corner. The halls of the hotel are similar to a 1980s office building with all the room doors in dark wood that’s all scuffed. On a positive note the bed was very comfortable and we had a good nights sleep and location is good but definitely not worth the £148 which we paid for a standard double room with parking. We wouldn’t stay again.

The old Mercure is rebranding. It’s still the same tatty and hideous building but the staff are always friendly and helpful. I had a refurbished room overlooking the cathedral which was very quiet and pleasant. Rooms at the back are noisier.
