Parkhotel Mannheim

Room is clean and nice, but lack some basic stuff such as body lotion.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. I arrived early and they let me go to my room. Easy check-in. One of the two elevators took me up to the 4th floor with ease, I didn’t have too much luggage. Just the carry on that was packed till the stiches started popping. I don’t like to have check-in luggage when I travel that way the airlines can’t lose it. I did have a backpack for all the trinkets I bought and that T-shirt, “My parents went to Germany and all they got me was this T-shirt”. Rooms were adequate in size. Not as big as in the states. But then you spend most of your time out and need the room to sleep and wash-up. Bed was very well kept and comfortable. I can never get a pillow I like so I can’t say anything on that. Bathroom was very clean. It had a hair dryer, 2 soap dispensers, a glass cup and towels. The TV was the old single tube type.. but there again I didn’t watch TV plus it was all in German, “Imagine that!”. They did have a USA today paper in English at the front desk. The room had a mini bar with a price list and room service. I am not too sure of the hours but the service was there if you got hungry. The room I was staying in was facing the back but still had a view of some nice buildings and the window worked. The room stayed cool and when the temperature dropped all of a sudden on my last day was nice and warm so when I got out of the shower I didn’t freeze my toes off. The room was cleaned every day very early, so get up and out before they knock on

interior very old to the point that it feels unclean. No ironing board in the room! Soap/shampoo from the wall mounted dispensers! 1970s Eastern block hotel!

Starbucks is right across the street - so having no coffee in the room is not that big of a deal. However, having to pay for internet is a problem for most of us. Most of us are connect 24/7 and having to pay for it was a bit much. I do recommend that you get the 30 day unlimited through T-mobile. It's the best deal, there are others for 10 hours or one day, but beleive me, you'll use the internet if you are searching for where to go eat, visit, etc. It's worth the 34,95 euro. We didn't eat at the hotel, you are just across the street from lots of great shopping and restuarants, the tram and down the street from the main train station. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and a great location!

Nice and good location. Very nice park across the street

We thought the walk to the hotel from the trainstation was a bit long, but not terrible. room close but very clean and good night of comfort.

Overpriced -- especially for Mannheim. It probably would have been nicer if we had a view of the park. I stayed with my wife and daughter, and we had a "superior" double room. The size of the room was fine, but they stuck us in the back corner of the second floor overlooking a dreary courtyard. The furniture and interior was very old and worn. The whole hotel smells vaguely of cigarette smoke, but I understand that may not be uncommon for German hotels of this vintage.

Booked a King size double no smoking room after reading reviews. On arrival was given small single smoking room. I Complained at reception and was given a large comfortable no smoking room with good views. But why did I have to complain and not get the room I had asked & paid for?

We arrived late but still before midnight. The hotel booking was done through hotels.com, or Expedia. We booked 3 single rooms and once arrived the hotel told us only 2 rooms were available and we had no choice to share one of the room. Not really friendly service.

The Maritim Parkhotel is a recently remodeled, elegant old hotel on the main square in Mannheim. For conventions and business, the hotel couldn't be better located, with the convention center a block away and dozens of restaurants withing two or three blocks. Rooms are handsomely appointed and bedding and bathrooms are very comfortable. Breakfast, while expensive, is outstanding and a good value. Internet service was expensive for a very slow connection. Most seriously, even the "non-smoking" rooms smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. While I'm not usually very sensitive to smoke, my room was saturated to the point that I developed a cough, itchy eyes and had trouble sleeping. My clothes smelled of cigarettes all day after I had hung them in the room's closet overnight. The smoke wasn't just in my room. Several other conference attendees staying in different rooms on different floors in the hotel had the same experience and I noticed smoke multiple times when I visited my colleagues' rooms to work. Indeed, posters in the hotel lobby advertise the hotel to smokers as smoker-friendly. Unfortunately, that means that, despite the positives, any nonsmokers should look for other accommodations.
