My stay at the Mercure London Bloomsbury Hotel had its ups and downs. The hotel's location was fantastic for exploring local attractions, but I encountered some issues with room size and cleanliness that dampened the experience. While the breakfast selections were impressive, I experienced some challenges that left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed overall.
Rooms
6.0
The room was well-appointed but extremely small, with minimal space to move around (I could almost touch both walls!). While it was clean and modern, the bathroom was also quite compact, which could be a squeeze for guests with larger luggage.
Service
7.0
Staff members were generally friendly and eager to assist, which added a nice touch to my stay. However, the check-in process was a bit rocky when my reservation was inaccessible initially, though they resolved it quickly, which was appreciated.

The hotel's location was a definite highlight, being just a short walk from major attractions like the British Museum and Covent Garden. It was perfect for a weekend of shopping and sightseeing.

Breakfast was one of the best parts of my stay, with a fantastic variety of options that catered to different tastes. However, I found the room service meals to be overpriced for what was essentially cold, microwaveable food.
Facilities

The hotel had a cozy atmosphere and offered good amenities like coffee-making facilities in the room. However, some common areas showed signs of wear, and the cleanliness of the carpets could have been improved.

I had a pleasant experience overall, with a great location and friendly staff. The room was clean and well-appointed, though it was a bit on the small side for two people with luggage. The breakfast buffet was a definite highlight with its extensive variety. but I did encounter a few noise issues from other guests in the corridor.

I had a decent stay at the Mercure London Bloomsbury Hotel, thanks to its great location near public transport and the British Museum. The breakfast was definitely a highlight, with a wide variety of options, but my room was way smaller than I expected and not in the best condition. The staff were friendly and helped me out when I had issues, but there were definitely some maintenance problems that took away from the overall experience.
Rooms

My room was really tiny, with a worn-out headboard and a cramped layout that made it hard to move around. The cleanliness wasn't up to par, with a dirty chair I didn't even want to sit on. Plus, the bathroom was pretty cramped too.
Service

The front desk staff were super polite and really went above and beyond, especially when I checked in and when I needed a taxi at checkout. They made me feel welcome, which I appreciated a lot.

Breakfast was fantastic, offering plenty of choices, from hot items to cold. However, the lack of lunch or dinner options at the hotel was disappointing, but there are plenty of nearby restaurants to explore.

The hotel had some decent amenities, but it definitely needs some upgrades. The only lift was small but surprisingly quick, and the common areas were kept clean. I just wished for better room maintenance.
