What guests think

At Mercure North Melbourne, travellers praise the convenient location near hospitals and transport and the generally friendly staff, but many describe an ageing property with maintenance issues, inconsistent cleanliness, dated rooms, and noticeable traffic and lift noise.

Facilities feel dated; on-site parking is available but often charged, and several reviews cite old or noisy elevators. Breakfast and dining feedback is mixed, with reports ranging from generous and handy to overpriced, stale, or underwhelming. Expect a convenient base with variable comfort, noise, and maintenance standards.

Appointed to Room 215 - curtains did not close. Went and asked for another room. - curtains closed but did not quite get to the end of windows but accepted. Noisy due to traffic. Okay re cleanliness but - tap fell off, not even screwed in on bath/shower, conditioner lid broken, lamps broken and they extend out on to the bed so pillow had to come down bed so did not hit head. Elevator - I reckon it was built in the 1940's ....the door opened before it had reached the ground. Children scared to go in it. Carpet old. Not much variety for breakfast. Chef was lovely to chat to but the ladies, not much from them plus not helpful and I asked for my drink bottle to be filled with drinking water not tap water.....her reply was I can boil a jug for you but you would have to wait until it cools down or have hot water!!!!. Cement in parking area filthy. Pool very small. Not very 'inviting'. Will never return.

Was disappointed with our stay here over the past weekend. The property was old and rundown, yet we found to be quite expensive for what we got. The images of the room shown prior to booking didn’t match the room we got which was incredibly tiny for 3 people. The room hadn’t been cleaned properly as there was left over food in the fridge. Needless to say we will look to book elsewhere the next time we are looking to stay in this area.

Remote control for TV was a different brand to the TV so did not work, shower base was chipped and scratched and unhygienic, toilet seat came down on your back when sitting in the toilet, shower water temperature changed to hot and cold and hot again frequently during shower, fridge froze water and drinks (even though it was not in the freezer), lift was old and clunky and noisy. For the price paid this accommodation was terrible, old, outdated, and dirity.

Cold water tap on hand basin did not work unless you turned on Fawcett under the basin if let on tap kept running. Power Point were few and by bed you had to get down on your knees as they were on one side under the side table . Staff were friendly though.
