Mercure Leeds Parkway Hotel

Was a bit apprehensive after reading cleanliness related poor reviews. Our room was clean once we got in ( had to try a couple of cards before being let in by someone with a master key). Bar is charming. Staff friendly and the recommendation for a nearby Italian restaurant was excellent.

What a shambolic unorganised pxxs up.in a brewery both the hotel company and hotels .com run. It was impossible for me to speak to anyone for a whole week prior to my visit, either from the hotel company or hotels .com . Their customer service is non existent and their contact numbers a total waste of time. I was visiting Leeds to see a girlfriend who had to cancel due to a client of hers being infected with Covid 19 , my attempts to speak to someone and cancel my booking where unbelievable, I tried for a week to contact both the hotel and hotels.com to no avail. I shall never use either of these companies ever again

Awful, avoid at all costs!

Cleanliness in room not great. Cup left over from previous visitors covered with coffee. Our room was not attended to. Only small double bed as opposed to King size. Privacy appalling! We could hear everything in the next rooms. We could see close into our neighbors' rooms. Our room was adjacent to public space. Shower not high enough up on wall.

Previous reviews refer to the hotel as being dirty, I'm not sure this is necessarily the case, I think it is more that the hotel is starting to look very tired and in need of some TLC. We stay in the dog friendly rooms which perhaps are more worn than others. the location is however great (particularly with a dog) and I cannot fault how friendly the staff were. The breakfast roll and pastry we had were also very good (I had to volunteer to pay for these when I checked out otherwise they would have been FOC).

We were staying for a wedding at another nearby venue. I attempted to contact the hotel about early check in ahead of time, but got no response. When we arrived parking was plentiful and reception were helpful and took our bags and held them safely until we arrived back to check in later that night. On getting to the room it was shabby and run down. There were holes in the ceiling (from previous light fittings or similar), dead bugs in the bathroom and excrement left in the toilet. The window was open so the room was very cold. Despite turning off all taps there was the constant sound of dripping water from the bathroom pipes, and loud noises outside meant we did not get a comfortable nights sleep. On check out I was told there was a 2 pence amount outstanding on the room (despite it being fully paid in advance via Hotels.com). They seemed to think they were doing me a favour by not charging this. It took a lot of willpower not to complain there and then, but at that point I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. All in all a disappointing experience. We only needed a roof over our heads for a night, and the hotel did provide this; but in reality it was this and not much more.

Staff friendly, welcoming checking and hotel OK for price. 2 night stay and no attention to my room when I was away during the day meant no bed made, no coffee replenishment. Not fussed about bed but had to go to reception for coffee, sent to bar and they had to scrabble to find some and could only give me 1 milk stick as that's all they had. Sorry to see breakfast served under a heat lamp in this day and age. Must add to wastage and food quality is poor from this. Possibly they feel this is quickest as near airport but I would rather wait and not have my eggs solidified under a lamp and inedible black pudding turned to ice hockey pucks. Ate in both nights and was good but each time the order missed out on something which I admit I did not raise as I couldn't be bothered. Cheap and possibly what you get for the money but next time I'll pay a bit more elsewhere.

Great location but room very tired and stains on carpet and chair. Good breakfast but limited fruit and juices available. No morning newspaper service. Staff very good and courteous.

Room was nice and clean with a view over garden and woods beyond. Used the steam room jacuzzi and pool which was nice and relaxing. I was worried after booking because of negative reviews but was happy with room and facilities. Used Tesco vouchers and would stay again

Reception staff very welcoming, but let down by very tired room. Stains on floor, hair on bathroom floor & in plughole, splashes up wall by toilet not cleaned obviously. TV not working properly - overall very disappointing standard
