Best Hotels near St. Mary＇s Church, Ludwigshafen Am Rhein

We travelled to Ludwigshafen for business and looked for hotels near to the work premises, unfortunately the 'Excelsior Hotel' was first in the list. At only 90 euros a night (including breakfast) it is no doubt a 'budget' option, but it isn't budget in the respect of a Travelodge or Premier Inn, instead it's a lost hotel in a pretty unpleasant area which has been left to decay. The hotel is a short walk from the railway station, graffiti-covered walls surround the hotel, and the first impression of the hotel visually is not a positive one, it's hard to even find the way in, amongst scaffolding and concrete jungle. At night, it's a fairly unsafe-feeling area, with people 'hangin around' looking suspicious. The one positive aspect upon booking was the 'Skybar', however digging deeper into reviews, it's clear that it's been closed long before the 'pandemic', infact 4 years ago, and upon arrival we were informed that it's still closed with no future planned. There is no restaurant onsite, nor bar besides a mini-fridge sat on the reception desk with a few bottles of beer available. Upon check-in, I was also asked for my 'date of birth' and home address, which often feels irrelevant, I refused to give such details. Once in the room, via the lift which takes about 5 minutes to arrive and to move, there's no air conditioning which during 32c weather was painful, but fortunately there was a fan. The room size isn't bad at all and the bed was comfortable, but the presentation of the room, as a new guest, wasn't considerate. A pile of electrical extension and cables was next to my bed, not tucked away out of sight. The internet connection was virtually useless in the afternoon/evenings after guests start to utilise it, I resorted to using mobile data instead. There are balconies, but they're just concrete and far from cosy, although the view over the city isn't at all bad. There is no furniture and in addition from a security aspect someone could easily go from their balcony to yours, therefore always be sure to lock and chain the balcony door when not in the room, or at night. At night, you can hear noise from neighbouring rooms, above, below and to the sides, I am also fairly sure that I had 3 'bed-bug' bites from my two night stay at the hotel. Breakfast was included in my 90 euro rate and the breakfast restaurant isn't bad, the service is friendly but the choice is limited, a few cold options and minimal hot options, no bacon or sausages unfortunately. It was a little off-putting to see mouse-traps being laid around the restaurant while I was sat trying to enjoy my meal. While away from the hotel, I left the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door, despite this upon return later that afternoon the cleaner had been into the room and cleaned, this is not acceptable when the message is clearly made that the room should not be disturbed. Overall, were it not for the price, I'd mark this as 'Terrible', but the price has to be considered, although the fu

This was a real surprise, we booked last minute a good price. The staff were 1st class smiley and efficient. The room modern and clean. The breakfast was outstanding. Plenty of vegetarian choices but ham on the bone and whole salmon for the meat eaters. We got a tram from the station which took 5 minutes.

Cost-effective, family room, children have a separate compartment. There is a shopping mall opposite, which is completely satisfied with simple shopping. Next to the bus station, it is also very convenient to Mannheim city, and there is a river on the back of the hotel. Breakfast is normal

The Mercure Mannheim Rathaus is a bit dated but still OK and very practical / functional for a stay in Mannheim. Centrally located. Friendly staff. Clean. Access with public transit is a bit tricky, either a 25-minute walk from the main station or a combination of tram / walk. Arriving by car is much easier, they have a garage (do not know about the cost though). One nice things for a stay during the summer period: you can open the windows at the hotel for fresh air. Downside: there was no vault in the room.

The hotel was undergoing an upgrade so the room we checked in to was new and refreshed. The hotel cafe had a good spread for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and gave us recommendations to visit around the area. Volk was particularly helpful.

Strakke, moderne kamer, goed en groot bed, mooie en nette badkamer met zeepdispensor en haardroger. In tegenstelling tot wat foto laat vermoeden ligt het in een vrij drukbereden straat. Prima parkeergelegenheid voor en onder het gebouw. Om de hoek kun je de tram nemen naar Heidelberg. Ontbijt is duur en gewoontjes. Decakoffie is enkel beschikbaar als oploskoffie. De accommodatie is oké, maar de sfeer is eerder onpersoonlijk.

Clean and modern hotel, great breakfast to start your day and most importantly it's 5 mins walk to Mannheim main train station and 2 mins walk to the tram station to Mannheim shopping district. Front office staff were welcoming and courteous, thanks for making my stay wonderful. Best part of the hotel is the view of the train station and absolutely zero noise from outside, which makes your stay very comfortable.

I stayed in this hotel for two nights. I requested a quiet room that was not looking over the road, so to avoid noise, and they gave me one that was looking at an internal patio, extremly calm (windows are also soundproof). The room had 4 beds. It was quite clean. Very few shelves, in case this room was occupied by 4 people. The bathroom had enough towels, excellent liquid soap and hairdryer. No shampoo, no shower cap, just the basics. Good duvet blanket. There was also cable TV. As I arrived late in the night, I did the check in the automatic machine without having trouble. You enter the room using a code, so no need to manage keys. My only concern with the hotel: the security. I arrived at 12am and the two entrance doors were opened. Anybody could enter and climb to the rooms... Few staff in the reception and in the breakfast room. I was wondering that perhaps a little bit too expensive, taking into account that they have few staff and they provide just basic service. The rooms have no electric kettle nor fridge.

The staff are all very nice. The room is spacious and you don't feel closed. Overall our stay was pleasant. We could also spontaneously book the unreserved breakfast for several days. However, the cleanliness was not fully respected in our case. We ordered the daily cleaning service, which is a great offer, as it is not necessary for such a short stay. The room was always made on the weekend, however, the room was not quite clean at our arrival. The bathing turk button was full of dust, the set glasses for the bottle of water included in the price had still a lipstick beam from the pre-visitor and in the washing basin still a swallowed hair with visible skin fats. We simply didn't use the glasses and cleaned the washing basin itself. The room and the bath were otherwise in a proper condition. For its purposes, you could be satisfied overall with the price-performance ratio. It is also often questioned whether everything is in order and if there are problems, it can be criticised directly.

The hotel itself is great. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is wonderful. Our view was of a construction site, but that's out of their control. I'm dinging two stars because fitness is important to me when traveling, and I was looking forward to the gym and swimming pool. Of course, both were closed for renovation (and will be closed until the end of February). There is no notice of this on the website or in the confirmation. Of course, they taped this to the reception desk after I asked (see photo). It's hard not to feel a little cheated.
