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.

One of our favorite hotels on our 2 week trip through Germany. The room was small, but had a portable AC which made the hot weather much more bearable. The staff were super friendly and helpful and made us feel welcomed. Walking distance to all the great dining and shopping.

Great central, walkable location. Reception staff was chilly and indifferent with respect to customer service….bordering on argumentative with respect to confirming a taxi for a pick up from the hotel.

Breakfast was good. Room was a good size and very clean. Some noise from street outside early in the morning. We paid to park our car in the hotel garage and psssed by one day to find it outside and unlocked! Restaurant and bar were closed for the summer which we weren't informed about beforehand.

A great family run hotel in the heart of Baden-Baden just 2 minutes walk from the bus stop from the rail station. Friendly, kind staff and very comfortable rooms, the single rooms have an extra large single bed and lovely Nespresso machine etc. The free breakfast was also nice with hot and cold options. Be aware that the single rooms like mine have no air conditioning on a hot day though it was manageable for me even at 34C. Overall a great short stay!

Great location in the heart of Baden Baden near the main sights. The junior suite had two rooms. One double bedroom and a large room that had two double sofa beds (we only used one of them). Good air con. Parking was expensive but you are in the centre of town and don’t need to drive around. Good breakfast with a selection of bread & pastries, cold cuts, fish, muesli and hot eggs.

Hotel did not have parking available as promised. Told off site public parking would be same cost. It was more expensive than stated. Old carpets. Tired look. So so breakfast.

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.
