Mercure Thames Lodge Staines - Staines, United Kingdom 

I stayed at this hotel for one night as I was going to a concert at Twickenham. I paid just ?60 for a superior double which I think is great value. The room was of a generous size, on the ground floor with patio doors out on to a garden area beside the Thames - beautiful. The room had a very comfortably double bed, modern style bathroom with bath & shower over, Tea & coffee making facilities, TV, hair dryer and a minibar. There is a nice relaxed bar area, and a bright & airy restaurant but we did not eat at the hotel. The location of the hotel is good, but can be a little noisy due to trains crossing the adjacent bridge and planes coming in to Heathrow. The nearest train station is a 10-15 mins walk away with a direct link to London Waterloo so ideal if you want to visit Westminster, the London Eye, Buck House etc. I was extremely pleased with the location, price and quality of the hotel and would certainly stay there again.

I nearly didn't book this hotel having read some reviews which said it was awful. My wife and I stayed here and found the hotel very nice, great breakfast with lots of variety from full English, to continental, fresh fruit and serials. The staff were very friendly and very efficient. I would recommend this hotel. Great location, my only problem is that my satnav couldn't find the hotel car park.
