Hotels near Eisstadion Ludwigshafen, 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

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.

Top gefallen hat mir die zentrale Lage, die Sauberkeit, die Freundlichkeit an der Rezeption, die bequemen Betten und die unkomplizierte Buchung. Leider hat bereits um 8Uhr und um 9Uhr morgens die Reinigungskraft bei mir an der Tür mehrmals lautstark geklopft, daher war ausschlafen nicht möglich. Zudem war das Zimmer tagsüber und nachts sehr aufgeheizt, der Fahrstuhl war defekt und man nachts hörte man bei offenem Fenster vieles aus dem Innenhof. Der Preis von 185€ finde ich dementsprechend überhöht.

First of all during this critical moments in the world due to the COVID 19 safety it’s out of great importance! This hotel has it, all personal where wearing masks and everyone is responsible. Very professional and friendly hotel personnel, I had a shower head problem and Hotel tech arrived in a min, replace it in the blink of an eye. I felt welcome safe and take good care of. With this review I would like to thank all the hotel stuff for doing such a great job and hope to see you again on my next booking.

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.

Erstmal das Positive: Man wohnt sehr zentral, alles ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Von außen ist es ein wunderschönes Gebäude und die Parkmöglichkeit ist top. Das war es aber auch schon. Die Liste der negativen Eigenschaften ist lang. Die Zimmer sind aus den 80er Jahren und total verwohnt. Ich war unter dem Dach und die Hitze war unerträglich, die Klimaanlage defekt. Mit offenem Fenster konnte man wegen des Lärms nicht schlafen. Von den Flecken und der Ausdünstung des Teppichbodens will ich nicht sprechen. Der Plastikvorhang am Fenster war ausgerissen und auch die Nachtischlampe hing in Fetzen herunter. Das Badezimmer mit schmuddeligem Duschvorhang und Armaturen mit Grünspan war der reinste Horror. Habe zwei Nächte kaum schlafen können. Die Bar war ab 22 Uhr geschlossen weil scheinbar das Personal was anderes vor hatte. Zu mindestens wurde ganz ungeniert mit einem Gast an der Bar geknutscht. Fazit: Nicht empfehlenswert! Hoffentlich findet sich jemand, der das schöne Haus wieder zu neuem Glanz verhilft. Wäre schade wenn es noch mehr herunterkommt.

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.

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.
