Best located hotel in Darlington- in town centre. Friendly staff. Well kept hotel but needs an update, but great value for money as is. Has food and bar options. Parking limited on 1st come 1st served basis, so only got parking 1 of my 2 nights. No free parking in Darlington centre on any day. Still best place to stay in town.

I would suggest anyone coming to Darlington, stay here. It will save your time to travel the shopping as well as night life. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious, only thing is a but confusing in lifts if you get rooms in 3rd floor.

Such promise but not lived up to
The underground parking is very tight, I suggest a contortionist drives. Stairs to get into the hotel from the car park which was fine for me but not for others. Check in was ok, less good was being told ‘I hope you’re fit, the lift isn’t working’. I think asked if they had room service and was greeted with a pained expression and the receptionist told me about a Wetherspoon round the corner. After navigating the labrynthine corridors of the hotel I found my room it was small and when I went to close the curtains I discovered part of the inner wall missing - a little worrying and not what you expect from a Mercure. I missed breakfast after discovering a complete absence of shampoo in the shower and having to use alternatives which is less than ideal as my scalp is sensitive. The room was ok overall the bed not great but it did a job.

Property itself was tired, although the room adequate. I was nervous in the area around the hotel - late-night revellers from the bar opposite, and no parking available without walking across the town.

Think before booking!
Had to change rooms as the first room wasn’t nice and so noisy as right opposite a busy pub and karaoke place! Staff were pleasant however the rooms are so hot so neither of us slept. The breakfast was really poor especially as one of us was gluten-free. Very little choice at all for them. Certainly not worth paying the money!

Ok for the price. Bad mattress and humid in room
Friendly helpful staff, great centre location, adequate room. No ventilation so the bathroom made the room humid Extremely uncomfortable mattress. As others have said I can't see how this is a Mercure IE Hilton hotel. Very little parking so had to park at the Corn shopping centre parking that closes at 7pm so can't take the car out at night.
