Hell was built for Satan and the angels that followed him during their great rebellion.
If God weren't merciful, He would not have given us a way to escape it.
As God is perfect, He can not tolerate imperfection in His presence. When Man gave the earth to Satan (through his sin), he needed an intermediary to bridge the gap between God's perfection and our imperfection. That gap was filled through Jesus.
It is easy to cross the gap - simply accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Live for Jesus. How easy is that? It is free, doesn't cost you anything.
You reap everything. That is merciful.
What happens to those that reject Jesus? Well, there are plenty of warnings about the cost of that sin. Eternity in Hell with Satan and the angels that followed him.
God has given you a free escape.
What is Hell like? God has even given us a way to know what Hell is. Bill Weise has written a book "23 Minutes in Hell" where he describes the sites, smells, and sounds of Hell he saw in a vision. You can even hear him tell you about it on http://www.SpiritLessons.com

God is merciful but He is also fair and just. Would it be fair if people who sinned where not punished? Of course not. But remember God doesnt want ANYONE to go to hell, He wants you to accept His Son Jesus and be saved.
God bless
