Reviews of The Merchant City Inn

missingWrote a review on 11 Dec
The basement room featured a cozy ambiance, with a comfy bed and a TV offering a solid range of channels. The bathroom provided a unique deep bath that might pose a challenge for shorter folk, but for many, it adds character to the experience.
The access via narrow spiral staircases can be quite a workout—made it a challenge for anyone carrying luggage. The shower needed an upgrade. the outdated overhead fixture didn't perform well, leading to an awkward setup. Some amenities, like the floor covering, could help ease the chill of wooden floors. A few issues with window catches not lining up left a draft that could be uncomfortable. breakfast offerings were rather basic, leaving some to desire more variety or freshness. Not exactly the smoothest operational experience.

the merchant city inn is a fantastic place to stay. the staff were exceptionally friendly and always had a smile, which made me feel really welcomed. it’s super central, so you can walk to places in just minutes. my room had a cozy bed with soft pillows, and the shower was good. plus, you can't hear the nightclubs right across the street, which was a huge plus!

Great location near shops and bars. The twin room was clean with comfy beds. It had a private bathroom with good water pressure in the shower. The staff were welcoming. Breakfast options were available with an upgrade to a full Scottish breakfast for only £3. The overall vibe was cozy and friendly.

Great spot and comfy stay!
I stayed for 1 night and loved it! The room was super spacious, and that bed? So comfy! The shower was fab too. Caught some street noise since I was on the ground floor, and those wooden floors are kinda slippery. Breakfast was tasty, especially the continental spread. Would def recommend for a short stay in the city!

The stay was quite pleasant overall, thanks to the clean, comfortable room and the friendly staff who provided good service. accessing the room involved several flights of stairs, and the breakfast options were disappointing due to their low quality. A good central location made it worthwhile.
