6.6/10

This hotel has a prime location close to major attractions, but my experience was marred by poor room conditions and subpar dining options. The staff was friendly, which was a silver lining, but overall, I left feeling disappointed due to the lack of attention to details that matter in a hotel experience.

My stay at the Mercure Grand Hotel was overshadowed by a few disappointing aspects. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, the room was cramped and poorly maintained, which affected my overall experience. I was also frustrated by the lack of communication regarding the pool being out of order. Some amenities were nice, but noise issues and a few service hiccups left me feeling that this hotel didn't quite meet expectations for a special occasion.

6.0/10

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. On one hand, the staff was delightful during checkout, and the building had been refurbished to a high standard, ensuring cleanliness in the bathroom and common areas. On the other hand, I found several issues with the room's layout and cleanliness that detracted from the experience. It feels like there's great potential here, but it didn't quite meet my expectations as a whole.

Rooms
5.0
The room was newly refurbished but had a poorly designed layout which made it difficult to navigate, and cleanliness was lacking with stains on the carpet and furniture.
Service

While the checkout process was friendly, earlier interactions with the reception staff were offhand and rather unwelcoming, which affected the overall service experience.

7.2/10

The hotel has a beautiful exterior and a central location that is very convenient. However, the quality of the rooms can be quite inconsistent, with some areas in need of maintenance and cleanliness improvements. While the breakfast buffet offers a good variety, the overall experience could be enhanced if the dining area was better managed during peak hours.

Rooms

The room I initially received was quite compact and a bit tired, but I was moved to a larger one after raising my concerns, which was a pleasant upgrade. However, the cleanliness of the bathroom left something to be desired.

I chose this hotel for its central location, and it did not disappoint, sitting right in the heart of Bristol with very convenient parking. The rooms were decent, but I found some furniture a bit worn, and there was a distracting noise issue from the nearby disco. Overall, the experience was solid, but there's definitely room for improvement, especially in terms of room condition and sound insulation.

Rooms

The room was decent, though I noticed stains on the carpet and some wear on the furniture. The noise from the disco outside made it difficult to relax.

Service was a bit hit-or-miss. While it was friendly when ordering breakfast, my order was unfortunately incorrect, and there seemed to be a lack of urgency in resolving it.

The hotel is perfectly situated in Bristol city center, making it easy to access local attractions and amenities, and the parking was a real bonus.
