The room was big, the bathroom was big, the service excellent. But don't eat dinner there. We were seven, all ordered dinner. Only five got it and the waiter insisted thatt two did not order. They did, the waiter was wrong, obnoxious and should not work as a waiter. His boss, when the main course of the two arrived after everybody else had finished theirs, had this to say: But they got it in the end.
Get it?!!
The service at the reception was excellent. The bar is poorly stocked.

The Steigenberger Mannheimer Hof in Baden Baden offers very spacious & clean rooms. Some with balconys overlooking the world famous Casino Baden Baden. The hotel is situated smack dab in the center of town. (So if driving there, prepare to park it and walk everywhere!) Although the rooms are outdated & kinda boring, all the essincials are there. (I requested a floor fan & buckets of ice & they understood and obliged both.) The town itself is small, quaint & expensive with only two main "attractions". The Spa's & The Casino. If that's not enough for you, the border of France is only a 15 min. drive away. So you can easily make a days drive through some of France and visit some local French towns. Good food is within steps of the hotel (even a McD's). I highly recommend this oldie but goodie.

I've been in Mannheim many, many times in different hotels. This definetly sticks out. Classy interior at ground level, nice elevators. Room, 212 was also ok, read that some other rooms were old or/and small.

The atmosphere, can't tell really the reason, was relaxing, clean, warm etc.

The Breakfast. Best I've been seeing for a long time, and I travel a lot around the world. Great selection, excellent service, quiet like it MUST be in the morning, nice decoration....

Only minus was that the room was too warm and air dry, but that happend.

My hotel in Mannheim.

Having stayed couple of times here now, it is time to write a review. Great place to stay, staff is well looking after the guests, the service in bar and restaurant area - particularly when not too many guests around - a little slow and hiding. Funny - the more guests, the better the service gets. During summertime one shoudl not miss a dinner at the inner courtyard, atmosphere is nice, food is creative and very good. Not sure I like listening to the piano player through the speakers outside, but sitting inside at the bar I like listening to the guy playing and singing. I usually get a single room that is not at all of extraordinary size - actually it is fairly small, given the rates charged. But the rooms individually vary, as it is an old building, and archtects and designers found interesting ways of styling the rooms. Internet access needs to be bought seperately and is not included, what is kind of pity.
