“Another overpriced Mannheim hotel .....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

Most hotels in Mannheim are overpriced, and this hotel is no exception. I stayed here for 5 nights and, part from Sunday night, the price for a single room was EUR 114 (which included EUR 13 for breakfast). There are several room categories and my room was a "single, comfort" category. The first room was towards the road and I requested a change. This was made without too much bother, and my room now faced the inner yard. It was a lot quieter, although there was still some noise from adjacent roads. The room itself was relatively small but adequate. It appeared to have been recently renovated and everything was new and clean. There was a small flatscreen TV and desk for working. Lighting was very good, something which can not be said about many hotel rooms, Internet is available throughout the hotel for free, but is slow and there were some dropouts. The bathroom is clean but very small. There's a sink, toilet and shower cubicle. Breakfast was adequare with a reasonable selection, but EUR 13? The hotel has parking at EUR 8 per night, but there is plenty of free street parking around the hotel too. The hotel has its own restaurant, althouigh I did not use it. It's a few minutes' walk to the city centre and there's plenty of choice there. All in all a hotel which served its purpose of providing a clean place to stay and at a price typical for Mannheim but overpriced for anywhere else.

Room Tip: A room towards the inner yard and not towards the road.

“OK but poor location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

+
Good/extensive breakfast with the usual Continental stuff but also pastries and hot scrambled eggs, sausages, etc.

+/-
The rooms have no curtains, only shutters.

-
At the extreme end of the Altstadt close to nothing in particular one would want to see.
Standard rooms are dark, dingy and overlook a busy main road.
My room had a cooker with crockery and cutlery provided but nothing to cook in so I'm not sure what the point of that was.
The cooker cut into space meant for the bathroom, meaning that one had to climb over the toilet to get into the shower.
My room wasn't cleaned on 1 of the days that I was there (perhaps they forgot, perhaps they couldn't be bothered) and the wake-up call I'd asked for didn't happen.

“Not recommended”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

I won't be staying here again. The bathroom - specially the shower area is so small that you would wonder how to avoid hitting the walls! The lights in the rooms are quite dull and strain your eyes! Even though it brags on the websites that the kitchenette is equipped, you have only your stars to thank if you can get even a basic kitchen knife! Bring your own travel iron if you need to stay for a longer duration.

“Mixed Feelings”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

In summary I would describe this place as hotel where many thoughts and action went into it when refurbishing it - but within a quite limited budget. Reasoin for staying there was - that no room was available in a hotel I would normally stay in Mannheim. Happens once in a while and as a visit you learn that room rates vary accordingly and I caught a rate that In normally would have paid in other places when booking in advance ... and enjoy staying more.

The best thing - what is important - for me clearly was the sleeping comfort. Regarding the bed's mattress - the best one I have been sleeping on in a hotel since a looooong time. Booked into a comfort-room - with small pantry and microwave - the room is fully furnished ... but not in impressing quality. The bathrom was clean and veeeeeeery small, but it is possible to turn around. But not much more than that. Could not use the balcony, the view to the courtyard wasn't that exciting.

Decided to take dinner on the terrasse in the courtyard and experienced a very attentitave and friendly waitress, but lille above average food quality. Steak wasn't really medium, more well done, and somehow the plastic sacks with ketchup and mayonaise for me somehow destroys the atmosphere. Call me picky and difficult ... Usually I order room service for breakfast, but as there was no order slip in the room, I did not call reception to check if this service is offered. Why not take breakfast in restaurant, was my thought. Well - I found the answer the next mnorning. Went for breakfast, but decided to skip it. The buffet looked great, but the restaurant can't cover the number of guests at peaktime. Understaffed for peak hour you either don't find a place because someone is having breakfast or the place isn't cleaned up yet. That's the point when one realises that one elevator is not enough as well, but find out the stairway is decorated quite nicely..

May be I am little too critical today, somehow I feel it is definitely on the edge to "good". With my experience tnhis time I just can't put the mark there. May be next time.
