We stayed at the Mercure for one night in February 2012. This hotel is first class, and a luxury standard for circa £100. From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff were friendly and chatty, and also very helpful and informative about the local area. The room was excellent and the bar staff were much obliging and friendly even though we arrived back late and wanted a drink. The location is perfect in central Nottingham and was approx 5-10 minute walk to the Capital FM arena at a leisurely pace, and around 15 minutes walk from the railway station. There was a little street noise in the early hours (Friday night), but this is Nottingham (a favourite for stag and hen parties) and should be expected to some degree. That said, the room had good quality double glazing. Really excellent all round and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent value hotel. The place was immaculately clean, great location for FM arena, helpful and friendly staff. We found the room really quiet and the bed very comfortable. The thermostat for the room worked perfectly as we can't bear a hot hotel room. All for a great price. We didn't stay for breakfast as we met family elsewhere. Can't fault it.

We chose this hotel for its close proximity to the Trent FM Arena where we had tickets to see Snow Patrol.
The hotel staff were welcoming and friendly, The room was small (standard double) but the furnishings and fittings were high standard.
Full English breakfast was buffet style, very good and well presented buffet and staff very helpful.
I would stay here again if visiting Nottingham and would recommend it.

Stayed here with a friend between 27-30th of Jan 2012, i'd read other reviews and though this was the best value and quality hotel in my price range ( £125 for 3 nights for 2 people ).
Unless you knwo where this hotel is it can be a bit of a trek getting to it, the train and bus stations are about 20-30 mins walking time through a busy city centre with a few road crossings, nothing too much of a problem though.

Arrived and was greeted and booked in within 2 minutes, reception is immaculately clean and tidy, and very welcoming, the staircase up to your rooms is lovely, however lifts were the order of the day for us, nice clean lift too.

Rooms are all very different, some are large and spcaious and some are rather pokey, however ours was fine with fresh smelling bedding, very clean and well polished up, large screen TV in the room, free safe to use in the wardrobe and tea making facilities in there too, hairdrier in the desk drawer, ipod/iphone dock also provided. Plenty of power points for your kit should you need them. Towels provided were fresh and plentiful, bathroom was , once again, very clean and tidy.

We were on the 4th floor, we expected some noise but were pleasantly surprised. Although the hotel is on the main intersection for busses and cars it wasnt too close to the tramns lines so noise was at a minimum, overnight noise from the local bars etc wasn't that bad either.

One of my pet peeves is the provision of aircon in rooms, its just not necessary in the UK and i don't like the noise... unfortunatley the room had one, even when it was turned off it rattled and hissed through the night, add to this the fact the room was always very warm and it was a little uncomfortable sleeping ( this could have been sorted out if we'd spent a little time messing with the thermostat but we didnt bother so i cant complain too much about this )

Rooms were cleaned every day if you requested it, room service was on offer, however £2.50 delivery charge was a bit excessive, its a lift ride not 12 flights of stairs!

Internet is provided at a cost, £7.00 for 2 hours and £14 per day rate, this is very excessive and i wasn't happy at all at being ripped off, normally the hotels we stay in provide this free, however this hotel is clearly aimed at the business person and the prices for "extras" reflected that.

All,in all we enjoyed out days and nights here, its a cut above our usual standard and we were happy with what we got.
