 Our room was very small we had a standard double room which had about 30cm on one side of the double bed and only enough room at the foot of the bed to shuffle sideways around The small desk table against the wall had the tea tray and other items so not really any space to put anything down We considered asking about the possibility of an upgrade to a larger room but decided we could cope for the 4 nights we were there We didn t spend much time in the room as we had planned a busy trip and the one evening we returned early we enjoyed some time in the bar lounge area so the room was adequate for our needs Do check the hotel website if you are concerned about room size as there is very detailed information available before booking Our main concern was the size of the bed as we re used to a big bed Despite being smaller than we re used to the bed was very comfortable with the most comfortable pillows A real bonus in a small room was to have a bath shower in a very decent sized bathroom If the size of the room matters to you then certainly consider the information but please don t be put off as this is a great hotel 
 The Mercure Hotel is in a great location within easy reach of many attractions especially the Natural History Museum and the V A The hotel reception bar area are clean modern and inviting Nothing was any trouble for the really friendly helpful staff Take advantage of their offer to book a cab if you need one as the company they use is great Very pleasant breakfast room with a good selection of food options on offer A very comfortable bed with great pillows and the hotel even supplies ear plugs in case you aren t used to traffic noise although we were barely aware of the nearby road One of us doesn t like using the tube but we were able to get buses easily from Cromwell Road or Kensington High Street and really enjoyed seeing the sights on route to our destinations Very good value hotel and we would definitely stay again
