Location! This was an excellent choice to walk all over Oxford, the breakfast (for a fee) was superb & met dietary restrictions. The staff and Lobby area are wonderful. My only small complaint is the general WiFi is not great, but by joining their corporate membership program, you can access a better network AND get a complimentary beverage.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
An extremely disappointing stay and not to be recommended. Stained sheets, no elevator (and no help from staff with luggage), no air conditioning and a heatwave mitigated by a disgustingly dusty fan with no alternative available. We returned to London a night early to avoid spending any more time at the hotel.

Insufferably hot. Our room had Aircon installed in the ceiling, but seemed to be decommissioned (blank control panel). Unpleasant drain smell. No actual bar, have to go to reception and request drinks from a drinks menu, 75% off which was unavailable. Too much penny pinching , Mercure!! On the plus side, fantastic location.
