"Looking at all these bad reviews I have to give a good review. We stayed one day on our way to Europa Park and we were so pleased we booked another night on our way back home. Yes there were inconveniences like no parking at all, and the loading zone was taken by....one of the employees? But he apologized by offering us free drinks for our trouble (walking several long blocks with luggage to get to the free parking in the suburbs outside of downtown). This hotel is crazily built with three conjoined buildings and random elevator rides/stairways making finding your room an experience. Funny, but not awful like the Labyrinth of Doom revierer wrote (nice job though). I loved the castle like features, the massive stone stairways, the open spaces, and the reception game area was tasteful and relaxing. I had so much fun waiting on my ride while watching 80s music videos on the big TV at the bar. Service. Peter was so nice, he seems to really like his job, he gave us tips for getting around the city. However, in the 2 days we were there, it was obvious there was only one person on duty for the entire hotel/concierge service and they were often on smoking breaks (I'd arrive at the hotel, wait at reception, and eventually the dude at the front door, who was smoking, would arrive and be the actual employee.) I spent a lot of time at reception just waiting for any employee to help me. Ringing the little bell didn't do a thing. They're just outside smoking. That is not normal for a hotel. OK I get it, it's a dirt cheap hotel, and they cannot afford to employ 2 people at the same time. Altogether the staff were really cool. When we couldn't use the loading zone, he gave us each a free drink (please wash the wine glass next time). The room was magnificent. We ordered the Comfort room and it was massive for Europe standards. And although the fridge didn't seem to work at first, it works, but it's so tiny that a single water bottle filled it up and there is no room for the rest of our food. However, we were very thankful for a fridge at all. The bathroom experience was ....ugh. I loved the shower with impressive water pressure. However I kept slipping on the slippery shower stall floor. The worst thing about the whole experience was after my wonderful hot, high power shower, as I dried myself off, little black body hairs from the towel stuck to my body (I don't have black hair). As I dried myself, I found NINE little black body hairs stuck on myself. I was disgusted, but I understand this is hard to prevent in hotels, and the hairs are actually clean. Then I took a closer look at the towel heater rack, and found 4 more black body hairs on the rack itself. That's just sloppy. I had such a great shower experience, and such a bad towel experience. I don't know how some hotels don't have this problem, but I wish I didn't have some other dude's hair all over my body after showering. Despite this, we booked that room again - 237, a huge room - and enjoyed it"

"Beautiful old coaching Inn type residence in the center of Speyer, a stones throw from the historic cathedral. Clean, comfortable and well appointed, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast buffet is exceptional, with the scrambled eggs worthy of a special mention. The inner courtyard offers a beautiful place to relax plus the hotel‘s restaurant/beer garden offers great food and drink options"

"The room meets the basic requirements, but it is a little smaller than the previous hotel, which is a bit crowded. Breakfast is also good, some varieties, no problem with the stomach!"

"Absolutely recommend! Clean rooms, parking right next to, simple check-in, even if no one is in the lobby. I could book my breakfast spontaneously, everything is not a problem. Just 6 minutes by car from the technological museum."

"The room is not very soundproof, others are not bad, you can walk to the nearby pedestrian street to see various historic buildings, breakfast is not bad, the whole hotel is in a quiet street, suitable for slow-paced life walking around the small town"

"We reached the back of the hotel on Sunday afternoon. The few parking places were located! Because the staff, despite the contact with the view, did not open the back door, we dragged our luggage on a way to the main entrance to the pedestrian zone. Here we learned that we would not live in the main house, but in a side street, 150m away. So we marched there and were amazed over the outside of the house and more about the “view” from the window. It was only a pleasant modern clean establishment of the house. And now the shock: in the restaurant of the Maximilian there was no more to dinner except a flame cake or salad, as you were closed. "It was Sunday and you have worked all day." But we were shown two simple rooms nearby, which were still open until 22.00 clock. So there was pizza... For breakfast (re-180m into the main house) we were offered a mini-edition with 1 hard cooked egg, 1 bread, a croissant, marmelade and 1 cup of coffee. Whoever wants sauce, cheese or even a 2. cup of coffee, must pay! Finally, I picked up our car from the postal parking and paid for it one night €16.00 parking fee. We were served and travelled early, after one (of two booked) nights again. Never again Maximilian and no more Speyer!"

"returning customer for more than 10 years started with business , now holidays ... this hotel makes you feel more than just a customer everything can be discussed and when I had my birthday here ut was amazing , with these little tokens of attention from the hotels"

"Good location close to the museum and 10 minutes from town. Good breakfast, but not above average. Rooms do not have air condition so at least at west facing rooms sleeping in summer is bad. Bathroom rather old, but clean."

"Excellent hosts. They kept checking when we would be arriving and when they found it would be late (we were delayed), they gave us detailed instructions as to how to access the onsite carpark, how to enter the building, get our key. Also enquired if we needed anything else. Room was clean and felt newish. But size wise it's on the smaller side but enough for 2 persons on a short stay or if you don't need a desk/sofa etc."
