Merton Hotel

just returned from our second visit to the Merton. We have loved being there and found the special offers for a midweek break fantastic value for money. The staff are excellent, the food superb (well worth booking The Belvedere in advance- only 13.50 each for evening carvery if booked as half board - best value and choice ever!) The rooms are fairly plain with good cutains and bed covers but very comfortable with twin or double bed (and sometimes a bonus third bed giving a good size room) good linen, soft white towels, new pillows - one... more

Was dissapointed by the dated decor and the room was appalingly bare and noisy. first night of stay was sleepless as i could hear pipes creaking all night throught the walls. Also pillows were very hard and thin. requested to change room at 1am but was told to wait until the morning. Never again.

Just returned from a bargain short break by sea at the Merton and could not praise it highly enough. Breakfast was fantastic with everything you could possibly want and as much as you like. Ate at Bonettis (Italian) on first day and that was superb, then ate in the hotel's Belvedere restaurant for the rest of the week as we had 10% vouchers from reception, making the cost for a meal £16.15 each for 4 courses and as much as you could eat. Carvery was superb, with gammon, turkey, beef, pork, pheasant, duck, Jersey Royal spuds and veg.... more

We stayed at the Merton Hotel during April 2006. The hotel was excellent. The food was outstanding value. We did not take up the H/B option before hand, but it would be well worth doing if you like to eat in the same place each night. The hotel does have 2 very good restaurants though. The staff were exceptional, very friendly and efficient. The leisure suite was very good. Indoor Pool a little dissapointing because it is very shallow - less than 1 mtr, its just a leisure pool really. The outdoor pool is brilliant and the grounds are lovely.... more

We booked on the last minute for ourselves and our two teenagers. It was our first visit to Jersey, great island and the hotel was a nice base to return to each evening. It was approximately 15 mins. walk from the centre of St Helier through a very nice park. Slightly uphill coming back. Buses to all areas of the island can be found in St Helier. The food was excellent with a choice for everyone and staff were friendly. The facilities including the pool, fitness centre and bars offered the chance to stay around the hotel. Bedrooms... more

Food was excellent £17.50 for a three course meal (only one restaurant open in Nov). Taxi pick up from the airport was handy as the hotel is situated on a one way complex. I don't think it would be easy to find. The swimming pool (over the road) was good - and mostly empty. Being novemeber We didn't make much use of the outdoor pool. Steam room was relaxing. Room was clean and of a reasonable size although a little 'dated'. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy walk to the town. Will go again.

Stayed at the Merton hotel for 3 nights with our 2 children 7 and 9 from 23 Oct. This is our fourth stay and the hotel lived up expectations. The best aspect is the food and the high level of service provided from all the staff which is friendly and efficient. The family entertainment is excellent. Whilst we stayed there, the Kids Zone provided a Mardi Gras evening which the children performed to their parents and other guests in the Star room which seemed to keep everyone entertained. I would highly recommed this hotel for families.... more

Nice sized comfortable rooms. Food is excellent and varied. The staff are all very friendly and efficient. This hotel is to be highly recommended.

Just spent four days at the Merton. It was much above average for a 3 star hotel and excellent value for money. Staff were very friendly and helpful, public areas light and well furnished. Bedroom was exactly as their web site - orange and green decor - slightly dated look but nevertheless very clean - bathroom was spotless - good quality shower, nice white towels, comfortable bed and pillows. Buffet breakfast and dinner - huge selection and good quality food. Although the hotel was apparently full there was no waiting for a table... more

A relaxing hotel for all ages. Food superb for price paid. Service excellent. We asked for a quiet room and got one. Entertainment good. The hotel has a coordinator to provide info on all aspects of walking /trips etc : He was invaluable and very helpfull (a great guy) I wouldnt hesitate in staying at the Merton again. Didnt like praising the hotel due to the expected rise in popularity. Hovever the Hotel deserves it.
