Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This hotel was booked in February of this year i have the confirmation proof of this booking. When i arrived at the hotel after a long drive the person behind the desk said there is no booking for me. I showed him my confirmation and he said it doesn’t matter as he hasn’t got the booking. I said no worries just give me another room he dismissed me out of hand and said there was nothing go and try the premier inn around the corner. My daughter and I were checking on line for places to stay when another group came in and exactly the same happened to them. God knows how many other disappointed people turned up to this place to find exactly the same problem. We had travelled 4 hrs to get here and as there were no other available vacancies anywhere in Hereford we have to turn back around and go home. What a truly disgusting set up they have at the MERTON i will never go back

I stayed one night at the Merton hotel and was very glad that I did. It's not fancy, but it's clean, it's comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful to me. Plus, the location was perfect, right near the train station and the bus station- with a grocery store just down the street. I had originally booked into a guesthouse on the other side of town and found it did not suit my needs at all, so this was a last minute booking that I was especially grateful to have made. I would definitely stay here again, for a short term visit.

Well placed for the city centre and easy walking to the train station. Basic amenities but it’s clean and friendly and the bed was comfortable - at these prices it’s great value.. Kitchen currently closed but breakfast at the Wetherspoons across the road was fine.

Knowing the Merton of old, I thought we had a bargain. Unfortunately the whole place needs a massive refurb. The bar and restaurant are closed and the rooms were fairly clean but really need an overall. Shower curtain was mouldy and a deep clean is needed. The position of the hotel is fantastic though for a night out in Hereford

Disappointing to say the least. Bed was very comfy but the room was showing signs of tiredness. The room was very clean to be fair. Shower was more or less useless. Cold with no power. The whole place could do with a revamp or shut down one or the other. Such a shame really as it is in a prime spot. I will not be staying here again.

Run down, cold, dirty, strange smell and a shower that's extremely weak and is luke-warm at best. This hotel has nothing going for it whatsoever with the only redeeming feature being its proximity to the town centre and travel links. Avoid at all costs

I stayed with a group of friends for three nights and it did job! It’s a very basic hotel that could do with dragging into the 21st century decor-wise; but it was extremely clean, the beds were comfortable and it had a decent bar! If that’s all you need, then this place won’t disappoint. The only negative was the amount of noise from the main road and the pubs across the road - but can’t really be blamed on the hotel!

Room Tip: If you can get a room that’s not at the front, you’ll likely have quieter nights sleep!

We stayed here for 3 nights when visiting Hereford. The hotel was ok, fairly cheap to stay, not the best place I have visited, but it was fine. The beds were really comfy and the rooms a decent size. The bathroom wasn't very clean however! The hotel doesn't seem to have a very good reputation in the area. Several people were unimpressed when we said we were staying there. I assume that is due to the bar side of things rather than the hotel though. The bar was only open for the first day that we stayed as there were electrical problems on the other days. When we came to check out, there was no one around so we just had to leave the key at reception. Probably wouldn't stay again if I could find somewhere at a decent price as it wasn't that clean, but if I couldn't find anywhere else I would probably stay again!

I really don't know where to start. We were 5 grown men on a 4 day cycling tour around the Wye valley and had "accidentally" booked into the Merton Hotel for a night (my fault). When we arrived we all said "This place must be closed, it looke like a bomb site". There was a scrawled note on the door which said "If you want to get in, call this mobile number". What a welcome! You could almost hear the "Battling Banjos" theme tune from within, as the guy who eventually openedthe door was full on Deliverance. He took us and out bikes round to the rear yard which was the most filthy scene I had seen in ages, including a dozen plastic 5-gallon tubs of black, sickening cooking fat. To our relief, the first thing he said was "We are not doing any breakfasts at the moment, there's a Wetherspoons across the road". I never thought I would be relieved to hear that sentence.. As we entered the "hotel", we gagged at the stench of the place - the furniture, the curtains, the stair carpets. It STANK BEYOND BELIEF. Then we noticed they were decorating the place, and we discovered they were hosting a 50th Borthday party that night. To our horror, we were told that they had a a 2am license. When I told the owner that he really ought to have told us about this before we arrived, he said "You won't hear anything in the rooms, and if you decide to leave we won't be refunding you". The rooms were exactly as we expected (appalling) so we left fo go for dinner as soon as possible, When we arrived back at 10pm, there were already several drunken bodies strewn across the place, oddly two of them were dressed in Superman costumes. Two of our party left at once, and true to his word, the owner refused to refund them. The loud thumping music and screaming & shouting, and drunken fighting kept us all awake until well beyond 2:30. At 7am we went to MacDonalds for breakfast and it was the highlight of our stay at the Merton Hotel. If you ever decide to stay here, you deserve everything you get. Whatever you do, do not stay here,
