Just a quick shoutout to the lovely staff in the hotel reception about noon today we had just departed Premier Inn cathedral quarter where the man on checkout had no interest in assisting me and my elderly mum acquiring a taxi, we called in to the merchant which is just around the corner to ask the whereabouts of a taxi rank, a lovely smiling receptionist said I can call one for you and it arrived within 5 mins. Thank u for your help and welcoming attitude. 5 star. We made our train connection thanks to you.

I had the most fabulous time at The Merchant Hotel with my husband and two teenage daughters. Art deco rooms - stunning; Bert’s Jazz Bar, starring the Eddie Gripper Trip - 5 Stars; and John Mac, guiding us brilliantly during our day. Thank you

Had lunch at The Cloth Ear and was genuinely impressed. The beef pie was absolutely delicious – rich, hearty and full of flavour. Service was excellent, warm and attentive. No surprise it belongs to the Merchant Hotel. A great spot for a relaxed, high quality meal. Highly recommend!!!!

Our stay in The Merchant Hotel was exceptional! From the moment we arrived we knew it was going to be a special stay! Immediately greeted by welcoming staff with a friendly smile! We arrived early as we had made a reservation for Afternoon Tea. Staff kindly stored our luggage and transferred it to our room while we had afternoon tea. Afternoon tea was fabulous! Service impeccable and all the food was divine. Staff were all so friendly and attentive. It really was the staff that made our experience outstanding. They even brought a beautiful cake to mark my husband's birthday. Afternoon Tea in The Merchant feels like such a luxury experience and it exceeded our expectations! We spent some time in the spa, it was small but not busy at all. Very nice and the views from the roof top hot tub were amazing! Our room was clean, comfortable and had all the necessary facilities needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The toiletries were gorgeous! We had a wonderful night's sleep! We had drinks in the bar before dinner and they were amazing! Really fabulous choice of cocktails and they were delicious. Staff regularly topped up glasses of water and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Even though the bar was busy, staff were always available and very friendly. Dinner was in Berts Jazz Bar. Atmosphere was amazing! Food exceptional and staff outstanding! We had such a lovely meal, faultless! Breakfast the next morning was perfection. Once again, staff were exceptional. Choice of food was great and everything was cooked perfectly! Overall, we had an amazing stay. We had booked an overnight with breakfast and dinner package was very good value for money. We cannot wait to stay again!
