Friendly reception and we were able to access our room two hours before normal check in time. The room was spacious and overlooked a very quiet street. The breakfast was very, very good with an extensive selection of fresh food to select from.

Cute Hotel near Everything
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.

I have stayed at the Merkur a number of times. It is well priced and quiet. Breakfast is excellent. Close to buses, the Christmas Market and public baths. I recommend to anyone looking for a central hotel in the town.

Nice and clean hotel with great location. Front desk staff very helpful. Only complaint is that when I needed an iron they didn’t have any at front desk.
