머큐어 노섬프턴

​A solid choice for a night out, but expect some patience at the desk. ​If you’re planning a night out in Northampton, you honestly couldn't ask for a better location. Being right in the heart of the town centre means you are steps away from all the bars and venues, saving you a fortune on late-night taxis. ​The Room & Stay ​The hotel itself is perfectly fine for a short stay. It’s clean, tidy, and the bed is genuinely comfortable—exactly what you need to crash into after a busy evening. ​The Check-In Process ​My main gripe is the check-in queue. Despite check-in being a standardised 15:00, the hotel only ever seems to have one member of staff working the front desk. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that scheduling a second person during peak arrival hours would solve this. Expect a bit of a wait when you first arrive. ​Late-Night Access ​A heads-up if you are returning late: the front doors will be locked. While there is a security guard on duty to let you in, they seemed highly annoyed and surly about actually having to get up and unlock the door. It makes coming back feel like an inconvenience rather than a standard return to your paid room. ​The Verdict ​The Good: Unbeatable central location, clean rooms, comfortable beds. ​The Bad: Slow, understaffed afternoon check-in and a grumpy late-night welcome. ​Overall, it's an agreeable stay and highly practical for a night on the town—just be prepared to pack a little patience at the front desk.

A spacious room with aircon facilities. Weather was cool so windows which were able to open was a positive experience. Very close to many convenience stores and food. Pleasant stay and recommend booking.

Good location near the city center and the train station. Room was clean

Bedroom is spacious and absolutely comfortable. Front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Air con is the best thing in room.

Centrally located hotel, with lovely clean rooms, good gym and free parking for guests. Will definitely be staying again.
