The good thing about Maritim Park Hotel is its central location in Mannheim city area. Situated in an old building with a lot of charm, the rooms are a bit small (single rooms come with a narrow bed only, bathroom is tiny). Considering room size and amenities I would have expected slightly lower rates.
Anyway, breakfast in the souterrain is good and the ground floor bar has quite some atmosphere.

It is the first impression that counts. When I entered the hotel through the main door, I immediately smelled cigarette smoke which I truly disdain. I am amazed that a hotel chain like Maritim still allows (smoking) smell in public areas, which came from the bar right next to the lobby. I can only advice any non-smokers to stay at another hotel.

My husband was in Germany for work and I accompanied him. The hotel faces a beautiful park with a water tower and beautiful fountains. It is air conditioned (not all hotels in Europe have AC). The staff is very friendly, helpful, polite, and speak English.

The hotel is about a 5-7 minute walk to the main train station which we used to go to Heidelberg, Paris and Berlin. It is also within a few feet from many restaurants, Mannheim's shopping district and public transportation.

We had a wonderful stay and would stay there again the next time we're in Mannheim.

Stopped here as it was arranged by our the company we were meeting.

Very old with a stale smell in the reception areas, the lift was slow and the AC virtually non existant.

On a plus point the staff are great, five minutes walk from the station and the breakfast wonderful .
