No, not always. Even though it's close to the sun, it's long apparent days and nights mean that it's surface temperature can get as low as -170 degrees Celsius. There is no atmosphere on Mercury, so the heat can't be held in the same way as on Venus or earth for example. Near the poles, the temperature can drop even lower to around -190 Celsius.
