The Hotel has a very good location for all the sights in Merseburg. Staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean and non smoking is strongly encouraged. We only used the breakfast buffet, the variety was pleasant.The condition of the hotel is rather ok. During the week we stayed there, one of the 2 elevators was permanently out of order. We used the stairs anyway, but for a 4 star hotel and supposeatly one of the best in town is a situation like this not acceptable. Luckily the temperature during our stay was not so hot (73 F / ca. 22 C outside), still, we had trouble to find a relaxing night sleep since the warmth is stored in the walls in this energy efficient hotel, heating up our room over the day nearly up to 80F/ ca. 27 C. Unfortunately, there was no possibility, like an A/C, to cool down the room in a short time. Opening the windows did not help much.
Overall, we would come back because of the location.
