Mercure Doncaster Centre Danum Hotel

“Decent hotel with friendly staff”

Very friendly staff at check-in, most helpful. Room spacious, clean and cosy. Bed was very soft and comfortable with very plump pillows. Bar area is very smart and peaceful for a drink or two after work. Lovely breakfast with plenty of options.

“Staff could do with work on trans and non binary people and their pronouns”

Stayed over for UK Pride which was in Doncaster this year and have spotted this large hotel many times on other business stays as a volunteer for a national charity whilst visiting the city of Doncaster . Parts of the hotel are well used and run down but enjoyed room 213 bar the television where you could not turn off the blind persons audio description on the smart television set . Staff especially the reception staff looked after me well as they work excessively long hours bar one thing pronouns which need work on and education as they kept using male pronouns which is inappropriate to a non binary trans person like myself . Also being an Accor Silver rewards member they could not register my rewards or get their computer system to acknowledge my account . On the Friday I arrived the food I ordered was excellent consisting of nachos, Thai vegetarian curry and a Black Forest pudding which was welcome after a long journey from Northumbria. I slept well after supper from Friday night to 11 am Saturday morning and I joined the pride parade As I attended UK pride in Doncaster they stored my suitcase and kept it safely until I got my train to Beverley in the evening. A few tweaks and this good hotel could be excellent. As a regular traveller doing volunteer work I use Accor brand hotels regularly but as mentioned earlier in this review some of the reception staff at this Doncaster Mercure hotel could do with a wee bit extra training on how to address and treat non binary and transgender people. So I’d rate my experience 6 out of 10 for my stay and could do with some improvement
