Central location, good base for shops / facilities and also for touring the area To be honest not much but a few small things - tea / coffee supplies were not replenished each day nor was complimentary bottles of water. The couch in our room (Room 21) was very tired and worn out and needs replacing. otherwise quite comfortable and good value for money....

Very comfortable place having everything you need when in the hotel, one of the best "English breakfast" (althought I am not a fan of them, in this hotel it always tastes me) That one needs to pay for internet - but this is small thing

The staff were excellent. The accommodation was good. The restaurant ambience was excellent The hotel had Christmas parties on and we were told initially that there was no food. However, the chef agreed to cook us food. The room was not overwarm: single glazing on a very cold night. The breakfast buffet was nice but again was only luke warm

The building is lovely, but looking a bit tired in places. Staff friendly. Didn't try the food. There was no hot water in the morning of our departure and they were getting lots of complaints about it, so we were not the only ones.

An interesting experience which amused us somewhat from the narrow drive to the car park, creaking floorboards, unlevel floor in our 'Executive Room' to the slightly strange hint of onion flavour in our shortbread biscuits! Staff were polite and efficient but it did have that air of Fawlty Towers feel to the place! It was certainly a weekend we will talk about for a while.

The position of the hotel means tnat you are within easy walking distance of the town Our room smelled of cigarette smoke and was freezing in the morning. The breakfast was £15 pounds each which we thought was rather expensive, we went across the road to wetherspoons and had two extra large full english breakfasts including coffees for a total of £12. I don't know what made our room "executive" as it compares only to standard double rooms we have stayed in at other hotels

It is in a very central location, and has secure parking. The room was very clean, a comfortable bed and good size bathroom. Iron and ironing board in room, which is always useful. Noise from nighbouring bedroom, walls seem very thin. Reception staff not very welcoming, very matter of fact. Did not feel breakfast was value for money.

I have been staying at this hotel for over 20yrs off and on now and it is a beautiful building but time for a little tlc the carpets are threadbare wallpaper pealing of walls and my gripe is the price of breakfast at £15.50 per head. Come on Mercure get the paint brush out !!!

The old world feeling. The location, which is very easy to get to and is a short distance away from Banbury Cross. Also a short walk into the town for shopping in the narrow streets and Castle Quay. A park is behind the hotel where you can sit and have some peace and quiet. It is showing it's age inside and could do with some T. L. C. but I will still go back.
