This is a pretty good hotel and the worst thing I can think to say is that you can often get better rates than I did by using the booking sites rather than the hotel chain's site.. Lesson learned..

A large hotel, must have 700 plus rooms which, if mine is anything to go by, are nicely furnished and comfortable.

Breakfast was a fairly extensive buffet with hot items also, a touch pricey, perhaps, but that's getting par for the course. Good service.

Convenient underground car parking linked to lobby by lift. You pay for this, but I don't recall it being too expensive.

I didn't use the bar or other food services on offer as we ate out etc.

The hotel seems to host weddings etc on the weekend, so there was a little noise, but certainly nothing too intrusive (I seemed to fall asleep without problem).

Convenient city-centre location.

Pay-for wi-fi.

This is an OK locale (central downtown) but nothing particularly special about this place. My room was quiet and clean, although the bathroom had no amenities (soap, hand lotion etc). Room service was tasty and quick.
I had some trouble at check out, as I couldn't get the staff to understand that I had been charged twice for internet service, so I just gave up and paid the bill.
For much nicer locale and ambience, I would recommend the Herrenkrug Park hotel instead.

I should preface my comments by stating that I haven't stayed at any other hotels in Magdeburg. I will say that this hotel by European standards is top notch. The location is very nice if you plan on shopping or sightseeing. There are plenty of shops within two blocks walk out the back lobby doors. There is a tram that runs directly behind the lobby as well, I believe one street over. Should you not want to venture out into the city, the two restaurants located in the hotel are first class. Beware of the breakfast buffet, it is very good but pricey as well at 13 euros. The Christmas Market is a short three blocks away if you should happen to be there during December.
As for the rooms, they are quite large although the only beds are doubles(I pushed mine together and was comfortable). There is no AC working during the winter months....I didn't consider Sept. a winter month but they do. And although the windows do open a little it can still become stuffy during the night.
The parking garage is quite expensive as well at about 18 euros per day, all of the add ons can push your stay up past the 200 euro per night mark if you aren't careful

The Maritim Hotel is a clean and very large hotel in the center of Magdeburg. The service is very professional and efficient. The rooms are large and well equipped.

The included breakfast is one of the nicest we have had, with an impressive choice of items.

The restaurant has excellent service and the quality of the food is good, but the menu is a bit on the short side.
