No AC ..not good

The air conditioning unit wasn't working. I was offered a fan after I advised them that the unit wasn't working, which they knew. There was no compensation for the discomfort. Hope they sort the issue out soon

We appreciate your patience as we offered a fan as a temporary solution. We would like to inform you that we are in the process of upgrading our AC system to a new one to enhance our guests’ comfort. This project is nearing completion and we are confident that this will significantly improve the comfort of our rooms. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Kind Regards, Imed Chikhaoui

AirCon issues

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Steve Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Checkin is a breeze as always, Paris is just a star and i look forward to seeing her when I stay. I got into the room and it was like a sauna, tried to ring down a few times but the phone in the room wasn't working. Paris sent security up to me (as she was on her own) as i hadn't come down as i was watching the end of a football match on the phone. Went down with security and moved me into another room. About 3am, I woke to my room being a sweatbox - Aircon had failed again, I opened the window but by 6am - with the noise outside, there was no chance of getting any further sleep. I didn't mention this at checkout as when i was leaving there was abit of a que and i wasn't asked "how was your stay"., if im honest i probably wouldn't of mentioned it anyway.... I've left multiple 10/10 scores as stayed at the hotel a good few times now, didnt want to bring any negativity to the reception desk incase the people around where due to checkin. I've been looked after well enough previously!

This place is a hellhole

TripAdvisor rating 1.0/5

cornwall100 TripAdvisor review

This hotel is a hellhole. If a Mecure Hotel footnote says, my visit was a one-off night for them, do not believe the empty platitudes. Upon my arrival at the reception desk, the double-bed room I had booked was unexpectedly changed to 2 single beds. With a nonchalant explanation, the hotel staff informed me that the hotel was fully booked, leaving me to say that single beds were not for a man with my frame. If I could wait, there was an offer to push them together. Eventually, when in a tiny room, it would have been impossible to have twin beds in this postage stamp of a room. The room was hot, so I turned on the air conditioning, but it didn't work. I picked up the phone to speak to reception, but it didn't work. On my first trip to reception, I saw a checking-in guest being evicted to another hotel because this inn was full. The American tourist wandered off into the night, complaining about British customer service. At the reception desk, I asked for someone to look at the AC unit, and they said that the maintenance man could make it work. He would be sent up to my room. With another trip to reception to enquire about the progress an hour later, a reply said he'd visited your room and had now gone home. No one attended the AC unit, I said. The answer was that I don't usually work here, so I can't help you. When I returned to my room, a fire alarm started going off—of course, it would—and the smell of cigarettes was in the corridor and the lift. The alarm continued intermittently, and the next trip to reception informed me that an engineer would be coming out to stop the noise within four hours. Perhaps the person who's smoking on my floor might be the problem? I asked, and a reply said no, it needs an engineer. The fire alarm went off throughout the evening and into the night. I could hear arguments through the walls, and a strong smell of cigarettes pervaded through the corridor and the lift. The hotel staff seemed disinterested in solving my problems. Strangely, they ask for your driver's licence, to which, when you enquire what they do with it in terms of the GDPR legislation, they say, oh yes, we keep it for a year. With the service I received, I would not trust my data to be kept safe and sound. Do yourself a favour—go to The Premier Inn at Paddington Basin, just around the corner. Don't stay here.
