Mecure Bedford Centre Hotel

Excellent stay from start to finish. Friendly staff, nice bar and restaurant overlooking the river.

Whent to comp fair

Good value hotel with beautiful views of the river. Needs better signage between car park & reception.

Rooms clean and spacious. Food was a buffett so not mush to choose from but ut was nice. It was relaxing and their own menu looked like there was enough to suit everybody. Was a work treat so can't complain too much.

Honest review ... We got to the hotel and there was no parking spaces available. Nothing! We parked opposite in another car park and it was very cheap. They had a party on and visitors took up the hotel spaces, so don't expect to get a space. The building does not look inviting from the outside, but much better inside. Clean, open, modern and inviting upon entering. The staff were polite and friendly. Happy to help. We entered our room, it was very warm, clean, inviting and modern. After an hour, we couldn't turn off our heating, so went to reception. They did sort this very quickly for us. We had everything we needed in the room. We went for a walk and the town centre was literally a few minutes walk across a bridge. The river is beautiful and so were the swans. Everything is on your doorstep. Location is spot on, you could not ask for more for location. We didnt have the best sleep. There was a lot of noise outside from the revelers until the early hours and the bed was hard. I woke up with a sore back and a little pain up my neck to my head. I think I had about 4 hours sleep. This ruined my stay because we had to drive home which was a few hours away and we were tired and uncomfortable. I have rated accordingly, but sadly I will not stay in a Mercure again. I would rather walk further and have a good night's sleep. Plus ... Clean, tidy, lifts, hairdryer, tea/coffee kettle, body wash and shampoo, towels, toilet roll, heat or Aircon, seating and table, good curtains, good customer service. Negative ... No parking spaces, pay to park, too noisy, bed is very hard, room too hot and couldn't turn off, taxi from hotel phone is unpredictable and expensive,

Great place to stay and very central.
