Guest Reviews
Nice decor, good ambience. Personally, I didn’t eat there, but people seemed to be enjoying themselves, and there was obvious rapport with some staff. Good size room, fittings, etc. Nice bright bathroom.
Brad, the Supervisor/Manager in the evening was a delightfully helpful young guy - he’ll go far. As was the lady with the blonde hair working there the next day; kind, thoughtful, and made me the best Earl Grey I think I’ve had! One or the domestic staff was also lovely and genuine; there are good people in the world! And at The Merlin!
Whilst the bar area was very well lit and created an inviting atmosphere, I couldn’t really say the same for my room which was a bit dingy/dim. Not unlike the young women who checked me in and latterly served me at the bar. Not only was she unable to clearly explain where the smoking area was; (“straight down and out of the door” would have sufficed), she said nothing other than look awkward when I asked about the stairs, my bags (I had a few) and made a quip about my (actual) broken back not thanking me for it! I didn’t say it really expecting anything in hindsight, but her response (or lack thereof) left me in no doubt how she felt about the guests paying her wages. Or perhaps it was just me! Latterly, when ordering a Ginger Beer, I saw there were two or three and asked if any were sugar free. “I don’t know.” Came the reply. Which was fair enough, I clearly didn’t know, but rather than, perhaps, oh I don’t know, use ‘initiative’ and look at the label, I waited incredulously for a few seconds before I had to ask HER. I genuinely couldn’t work out if it was ignorance, utter disdain, or lack of brain plasticity, but the manger/supervisor (Brad - great guy, personable, helpful, couldn’t have done enough) stepped in and sorted it out. I had a feeling that wasn’t the first time he’d had to do that. But. Credit where credit’s due; a new member of staff must have just started and she was very enthusiastic about “showing him how to do the bins.” I guess one likes a dirty bar.
Well appointed accommodation, excellent food.
Lovely staff.
Upstairs corridor and doors of the premises could do with a paint refresh and I found the room decor rather dark.
Cosy, welcoming atmosphere.
Great price, good food and drinks, nice room and close to the airport
N/A
Everything, the staff were attentive, kind, considerate for an old lady, recently berieved. They could have done no more to make my stay ,however, briefly, more comfortable. It was a business trip, with a timetable to follow. The only word to describe the Food EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!
As an 80 year old, with suspect hips and bones in general, a lift to the first floor would be very helpful. The kindness of a stranger when I arrived and the consideration and kindness of the staff member made my climbing 2 flights of stairs possible. So not ideal. They need a lift.
Breakfast was excellent. Deco was very good.
Toilet Seat was broken. Could have done with some drawers for clothes.
Clean and comfortable
Both myself and my partner had a lovely 2 night stay at Merlin, our room was really nice and food and drink excellent.
Nice clean room. Comfortable beds. Quiet location. Plenty of parking. Easy walk into Alderley Edge and the train station for trains into Manchester. Food was fantastic. Excellent fresh cooked breakfast with lots of options, and dinner was amazing too.c
