Magdeburg Hotels with Breakfast

Service was very good, could already 11.00 clock in our room. All clean and comfortable. Direct at the train station and right in the city.

I only stayed one night in the midst of the pandemic so I’m sure this hotel has a very different dynamic in regular times. The reception area is fantastic, a huge, high ceiling area meaning you can see right up to the top floor. Add some pedestrian traffic and guests and you’ve got a great place to have a coffee or meet people. In today’s environment, it just seemed sad and empty. The room was well equipped, nice big bed, good bathroom - though who uses a bidet in 2020? Service was good as you would expect from having so few guests. As with all hotels, they are keen to point out and highlight their environmental commitments. But then this hotel takes payment for electric car charging - presumably with the excuse they have no choice etc, managed by another company etc. It seems green issues are only an initiative if they save money. That aside, I would stay here again and I’m sure it’s a very different place in normal times.

Wir kennen alle die Hotels vom Range eines Mercure Plaza im schönen Stadtteil Suderburg von Magdeburg. Erbaut nach der Wende und stilistisch dort auch geblieben. Warum auch nicht? Wir tauschen unsere Möbel auch nicht jedes Jahr. Das Hotel ist praktisch an die Straßenverbindungen angeschlossen, verfügt über eine schöne Garage und hat ein italienisches Restaurant im Haus, welches einen nach einem langen Arbeitstag durchaus verwöhnt. Ich werde jedenfalls den sehr guten Grana Padano mit Marmelade von grüner Tomate als Amouse Bouche nicht vergessen. Nachteile: Die Zimmer sind alt eingerichtet (aber top sauber!) und entsprechen den 90er Jahren. So sind auch die (sehr sauberen) Bäder. Und jetzt kommt Habeck: Das Hotel nutzt eine Wärmepumpe im Innenhof und diese ist so laut, dass ein jeder, der davon zukünftig betroffen ist, sich hier über die Grüne Zukunft bestens informieren kann. Danke für diesen Einblick, der mich davon überzeugen konnte, dieses Land schnellstens zu verlassen und den Grünlingen ihre national Deutschen Träume ohne uns ausleben zu lassen. Adieu, Herr Habeck!

I'm trying my best to be fair to this place, but it all boils down to this, I did not enjoy my experience.  So, here are the cold hard facts,  it is a 3 star hotel located in a convenient spot for us on our way to the Czech Republic, so we stayed there. We chose the family room, which comes with a double bed and two single bunk beds. The room was clean and sufficiently kitted out for the needs of a quick stay over. The bathroom was sufficient for our purpose and had sufficient space to change. The lights in the room were somewhat temperamental, but after fiddling with them for a while, we got them to work. The hotel has limited parking and as we arrived at 21:30 hrs, there was none left so we parked nearby on the street which is free from 20:00 hrs to 08:00 hrs. Here is where the drama started. We were ”greeted” by a gentleman at the front desk who possessed a ”matter of fact” disposition. He is the stereotypical German with whom I like to work but lacks social skills. He was not rude, but neither was he welcoming.  He was not unhelpful, but I did not feel particularly helped. It would appear that if you don't call the hotel to confirm your stay by 18:00 hrs, your room is cancelled.  He told us this in a manner that made us feel like we were unaware of the obvious while simultaneously telling us that he did not cancel the room on this occasion.  To cut a long story short, after a long day of driving, we did not need to feel as if we were about to be stranded in Magnaburge with nowhere to sleep. To sum this up, it's a stop over spot on our destination, and while it served its purpose, I would not stay here again.

Pleasant hotel, art-deco style, surrounded by a beautiful garden. Very friendly personnel. Good restaurant. Spacious room with needed facilities. Bathtub was a plus when travelling with a child. Bed was quite big but not very big as marked. Breakfast was good, quite diverse, but not exceptional- 21 euros is a lot to pay for it.

I arrived late and left early (this hotel is about 5 mins walk from the Railway Station) but was very satisfied with my stay here. The hotel is clearly pretty new and was unusually decorated with a cycling theme which made it a bit interesting - I am tempted to return to the area with my bike in the future now! The staff I dealt with on reception were pleasant and I would describe the room as very clean and comfortable. The one minor annoyance was that there is no glass in the bathroom or even any kind of cup in the room but by the time I had undressed and realised this I was too tired to get dressed to go downstairs and ask for one (as invited by the notice in the room) so made do with an empty drink bottle I happened to have with me. Slept well in the room though, would stay here again.

The bathroom is very small, especially the shower area, which is surrounded by plastic sheets and is relatively small. The hotel is on the fourth floor and the reception desk is also on the fourth floor. There is no kettle, there is a free bottle of water.

Es fing damit an, dass meine Reservierung nicht gleich zu finden war - kann vorkommen. Das Hotel hat vier Sterne - von wem frage ich mich? Man siehr noch, dass es mal ein Ramada war, aber leider nur der erste Eindruck. Die Holztäfelung machte es unmöglich gemütlich im Bett etwas Fernzusehen, die Kissen waren matschig. Eine Kaffee/Tee Station im Zimmer fehlte genauso wie eine Minibar. Die Sauberkeit war leider auch nur äußerlich, in den Ecken und auf dem Fernseher war es leider nicht so schön, Stauballergiker hätten hier Probleme. Das Frühstück war vom Preis/Leistungsverhältnis negativ, ich habe den Tag verärgert beginnen müssen, ein Foto von der Fischplatte lege ich bei. Die Brötchen einfallslos, die Würstchen viel zu lange gebraten und total vertrocknet, die Säfte nicht frisch und die Aufschnittauswahl mäßig. Der Preis war nicht gerechtfertigt. Der Schlauch der Dusche zu kurz und die Armaturen sind leider billige. Es fehlte ein Waschlappen und es gab auch keine Bodylotion. Das einzige was wirklich viel rausgeholt hat, war das Personal an der Bar. Dieses kämpfte gegen eine unzureichend ausgestattete Bar (Das Management ist das inkompetenteste, was mir seit langem untergekommen ist). Die Beiden gaben sich super viel Mühe, waren schnell und freundlich, auch in stark frequentierten Momenten. Man sollte beide befördern, denn deren Vorgestzte, sollten vielleicht einmal mit denen tauschen. Fazit: Das Hotel spart an allen Ecken zu lasten von Qualität und Service. Man soll kommen, bezahlen und gehen, aber sich nicht wohlfühlen. Es sind wirklich nur Kleinigkeiten und ich wäre sehr zufrieden gewesen, aber bei dem Preis, oder besser Preisen - nein Danke. Auch die im Fahrstuhl propagierte ”Best Price” Werbung für die eigene Webseite, stellte sich zumindest für mich als falsch heraus - ich habe den günstigeren Kurs woanders gefunden. Von Gratis Extras steht auch etwas im Fahrstuhl - auch Fehlanzeige. Schade!

I was a weekend for the family in Magdeburg and I went to the Classic Hotel without any sleeping places. I arrived very late and hadn't eaten yet (23:00) and was very tired. I hadn't expected it anymore but I got a super delicious pizza and a cool beer from the hotel bar. The bed was super comfortable and I sleeped very well this night. This hotel is suitable for couples, singles and families. The atmosphere is very relaxed and you can relax in the foyer super. It is not overlooking and the staff is very nice.
