What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Merkur - Superior is praised for its central, walkable location, with many guests highlighting the very good breakfast and generally comfortable rooms that make city sightseeing easy and convenient.

However, several reviews note the lack of central air conditioning with reliance on portable units, occasional street or car-park noise, compact bathrooms, and softer pillows or mattresses. Service is widely praised as warm and accommodating, though a few reported indifferent check-in, late-check-in or reservation issues, and slow follow-up on problems. Facilities feedback is mixed: parking exists but can be limited, tight, or paid, and the on-site restaurant or bar was closed at times. Expect a practical base with a few trade-offs.

Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr zentral und man erreicht fußläufig in 3-4 Minuten das Zentrum. Die Zimmer sind sauber und nett eingerichtet. Insgesamt für zb einen Wochenendtrip empfehlenswert.

Sehr netter Service am Frühstück. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Sehr zentral gelegen. Aber kein Parking, man muss ins teure Parkhaus (ca. EUR 30.-/Nacht)

The hotel rooms were clean and tidy. The location is also excellent perfect for exploring the city on foot. A small downside was that there was no air conditioning in the room. In addition, we feel that the mattresses and pillows could use improvement or replacement, as they were not very comfortable. Overall, definitely recommended and a hotel where hospitality clearly comes first!

It was very poor, arrived to check in and my room had no electricity, and the staff didn’t appear to care. The following morning, there was no hot water, and again the staff didn’t care, instead of offering an apology, just said how hard it was for them. My room was also not very clean, and the bed was quite uncomfortable. All of the staff had quite a surly attitude and didn’t appear to care. The only redeeming factor was the breakfast, which was good, but nothing exceptional. Overall, very disappointing, especially when you factor in how expensive it is! I recommend avoiding!

We had a four night stay at the Mercury and it was an excellent choice of hotel. The team on Reception were so helpful and friendly - going ‘above and beyond’ to help us. The breakfast was delicious and the team in the restaurant worked hard to ensure the buffet was well stocked with a nice range of breakfast treats. The hotel enjoys a central location and is just 5 minutes walk from Leopoldsplatz, the centre of the town, so it’s really convenient. We enjoyed early morning walks (and runs) on the Lichtentaler Allee - a beautiful tree lined walk along the river, which starts about 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The bedroom was a good size, although our bathroom was quite cosy (apparently some of the other rooms have bigger bathrooms). We will definitely be returning to Baden-Baden and will certainly be looking to stay at the Merkur, which offers excellent value for money.

Es ist mir klar, dass man sich nicht auf die Fotos verlassen kann, aber unser Zimmer weichte schon sehr stark von dem Bild für das gebuchte Zimmer ab. Das Zimmer mit Dachschräge war schon sehr eng. Auf dem Zimmer war ein mobiles Klimagerät dessen defekten Schlauch man über das offene Fenster leiten sollte, wobei wiederum die warme Aussenluft ins Zimmer strömte. Offenbar eine Notlösung. Ich möchte aber die Freundlichkeit des Personals, und das gut bestückte Frühstücksbuffet betonen. Ausserdem ist die Lage des Hotels perfekt.

So, the hotel was unable to reserve / confirm my reservation for the weekend even though I received a reservation number from Expedia. The Hotel Merkur booked me a room at another hotel across town. So, I had to travel into the city center on foot with luggage. The hotel did not provide a map just the name of the other lodging establishment. There was no elevator in the other lodging accommodation, so I had to climb stairs to the three floor with luggage in tow. I suppose the only good outcome from the whole experience was I exercised all weekend climbing stairs with poor knees. I’ve stayed at other hotels in Baden Baden before and most have elevators to accommodate older guests. This was my first time booking a room at the Hotel Merkur. I think I will choose other accommodation in the future. Just because Expedia states your reservation is confirmed, the reality is one does not truly know until they arrive at the hotel.

Bereits der Empfang vor dem offiziellen Check-In war geprägt von wohltuender Gastfreundschaft. Rasch das Zimmer gleicher Klasse gewechselt, einen Parkplatz organisiert und über Baden Baden informiert. Ein super Start in eine angenehmes Wochenende. Das Zimmer war einmalig! Gross, sauber, perfekt eingerichtet, eine Wohltag einige Stunden zur Erholung im Zimmer zu verbringen. Herausheben möchte ich Herrn Hirsch jun. Ich kam viel in der Welt herum, ab so was von gelebter Gastfreundschaft hatte ich noch nie erlebt! Wir fühlten uns wirklich als Gast und nicht als jemand der einfach ein Zimmer gemietet hat und zügig bezahlt und wieder geht. Das Merkur kann ich wärmstens empfehlen. Danke Herr Hirsch!
