Really convenient hotel, with a parking garage. We stayed for a couple of days. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Rooms had portable air conditioning since there’s no central air. It worked fine. Beds were comfortable. Everything in area was walkable. Would stay here again if we were in the area.

We had a four night stay at the Mercury and it was an excellent choice of hotel. The team on Reception were so helpful and friendly - going ‘above and beyond’ to help us. The breakfast was delicious and the team in the restaurant worked hard to ensure the buffet was well stocked with a nice range of breakfast treats. The hotel enjoys a central location and is just 5 minutes walk from Leopoldsplatz, the centre of the town, so it’s really convenient. We enjoyed early morning walks (and runs) on the Lichtentaler Allee - a beautiful tree lined walk along the river, which starts about 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The bedroom was a good size, although our bathroom was quite cosy (apparently some of the other rooms have bigger bathrooms). We will definitely be returning to Baden-Baden and will certainly be looking to stay at the Merkur, which offers excellent value for money.

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.
