Hotel Hotel per famiglie a Mainz

We had googled our way to the fact that the Hilton Mainz has a very good location right down to the Rhine and you can purchase access to the hotel's ”Executive Lounge”. We booked 5 nights and we were ready for a little vacation by the Rhine. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were quickly and efficiently checked in by Mrs. Blanco Flores, who upgraded us to a room with a view of the Rhine. Mrs. Flores made us aware, that the ”Executive Lounge” was unfortunately not that big, but we had to see that with our ”own eyes”. Really good service was provided upon check-in, and our expectations for the stay at the hotel became greater. The room we had been allocated was on the 5th floor with a wonderful view of the Rhine. We had booked a room with breakfast, so we were excited to see, how the breakfast buffet was. But we were very pleasantly surprised there 😊.. There was a reasonably large selection of various breads and hot items, so it was just a matter of getting started with breakfast. The hotel allows you to sit outside and enjoy your breakfast with a view of the Rhine, and watch the people walking and cycling past. We were very lucky with the weather, so breakfast was enjoyed for a little longer time than usual. After breakfast, we went up and see how the ”Executive Lounge” was. But unfortunately we were somewhat disappointed. The ”Executive Lounge” consists of 2 small rooms, where there were 3 tables in each room, and 3 people could sit at each table. When we got outside the time when alcoholic drinks are served, we could see that you could have a cup of coffee or an apollinaris. The snacks on display looked a bit boring, and the fruit wasn't of the best quality either. But cheer up, it could be good in the evening... But when we visited the ”Executive Lounge” in the evening, beer, wine and spirits were on display - but the snacks that were also on display didn't seem particularly inviting - so we didn't take any of them. Summary of our experience of the ”Executive Lounge” is that it is not necessary to purchase access to the ”Executive Lounge”. And we can only encourage hotel management to go on a study trip to Düsseldorf or Dresden, where we have experienced what an ”Executive Lounge” should really be like. In general, the level of service is very high, and the staff a super good service at the hotel 😊... Here we have to highlight in particular: Mrs. Flores from the reception, Heike from the breakfast restaurant and Brittany from Guest Relations. They gave us a really good service during our stay. In summary, we would give the hotel 4 stars out of 5. If the hotel should have had the last star, the ”Executive Lounge” must be upgraded with better rooms. (Could space be created for a small area down in the restaurant area, so that you also have the opportunity to sit outside on the warm summer evenings. We would like to come again at another time to enjoy the good location and super service 😊..

Location affascinante, ottima posizione sul fiume . colazione molto soddisfacente con prodotti di qualità . Ottima pulizia della camera. Carenza in bagno di qualche accessorio idoneo come il phon di qualità

I arrived at the hotel at 12:30 pm, and had sent an email in advance to let them know I will be arriving before official check-in time. My email was literally answered within minutes, and I was happy to find out that they had a room ready for me when I got to the hotel. The reception was busy, so I had to wait for a while as one party was checking in and another checking out, but when it became my turn, the friendly receptionist had me checked in within minutes. My room on the second floor was very nice for a three star hotel, and I might even go as far as to say that the room met four star standards. It was probably recently renovated, as it felt very fresh and modern and was in impeccable condition. It was not very large, but came with a balcony and a view of the park outside the hotel. There was a desk&chair, a closet, a safe and good A/C, but no water bottle, no fridge and no sitting area. Wifi was easy to use and fast, however, I believe Youtube was banned, because all other websites worked fine but I was not able to access Youtube at all. That felt a bit strange. The queen bed, although too soft for my taste, was otherwise fine for one person although the pillow was flimsy and I had to request another one, which was gladly brought up to my room. There were sockets by the bed, so charging your devices overnight was easy. The bathroom was also clean and fresh and felt recently renovated. The walk-in shower came with excellent water pressure. There was enough room for toiletries etc by the sink, however the bath towel was extremely small. Amenities only included soap, shampoo and shower gel. No conditioner or body lotion. These came in wall-mounted containers, of which I am not a fan because I don’t find them particularly hygienic. I wish hotels saved money in other ways and not by abandoning single-use toiletries. The hotel serves breakfast in the ground floor breakfast room from 6:30 to 10:30, and from 7 to 12 on weekends. My rate did not include breakfast, but I popped in the first morning to see the spread. It was definitely not worth the price (20.50 EUR), so my suggestioon would be to buy something at the supermarket a block away or to have breakfast in a nearby café. I had a late flight out, and was informed that they could extend my check-out until 12:30 pm at no charge, and beyond that they offered a late check-out at 4 pm for 19 EUR. It was a bargain and I was happy to take up on the offer. The hotel is located two minutes from the main railway station, and I walked to all the sights and restaurants in the city centre area. The Markt and Dom (cathedral) is about a 15 min walk from the hotel. I found the location excellent and will be sure to stay here again if my travels take me to Mainz in the future.

Was ein entspannendes Wellnesswochenende zum Geburtstag meines Partners werden sollte entwickelt sich leider zu einer kompletten Enttäuschung. Da wir bei unserem letzten Aufenthalt vor zwei Jahren vom Favorite- Parkhotel begesitert waren, hatten diese Mal leider wieder recht hohe Erwartungen, die leider komplett enttäuscht wurden und wir wurden rasch auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurückgebracht. Das gebuchte Superior Zimmer war leider eines der doch sehr angestaubten altmodischen Zimmer in der 5. Etage, ganz im Gegensatz zum letzten Aufenthalt als wir ein modernes Zimmer erhalten hatten. Die Sauberkeit war nicht zu beanstanden, aber es fing schon damit an, dass am Anreisetag unser Zimmer lange nicht bezugsfertig war und der Herr an der Rezeption uns offensichtlich vergessen hatte, so dass wir selbst mehrfach nach der aktuellen Stand der Checkin-Möglichkeit fragen mussten. Der Aufzug war selbstredend defekt, so dass wir das Gepäck dann auf die 5. Etage tragen mussten, Rückfragen seitens des Personals, ob denn eine Hilfe gewünscht sei: selbstverständlich Fehlanzeige. Der Aufzug war dann vom Anreisetag bis zum Abreisetag (Donnerstag-Sonntag) regelmäßg defekt..... Die Energiekostenpauschale ist dann auch wieder eine dieser zusätzlichen Gebühren, welch sich jeder Nachvollziehbarkeit entziehen, dann wäre es eine ehrlichere Entscheidung des Hotels die Übernachtungspreise entsprechend anzupassen. Der Wellnessbereich auf dem Dach ist nach wie vor für ein Hotel dieser Größe absolut unterdimensioniert, auch war hier der Whirlpool zwei Tage außer Betrieb. Der neu gestaltete Spa-Bereich des Hotels im Erdgeschoss ist zwar optisch sehr ansprechend, jedoch sind für die Größe des Hotels auch hier zuwenige Liegemöglichkeiten vorhanden. Hier hat man bei der Gestaltung eher auf die Optik als die Praktikabilität geachtet, denn aufrund der zahlreichen Gäste hatte das Ganze die Atmosphäre einer Banhofshalle, von Entspannung keine Spur. Es wäre sinnvoll gewesen die Ruhemöglichkeiten abzutrennen, aber so ist man hier mitten im Durchgangsverkehr .... leider ein totaler Reinfall. Als ich am Abreisetag durch einen Rezeptionsmitarbeiter gefragt wurde ob mir der Aufenthalt denn gefallen habe undmit ”Leider nein” antwortete war seine Rektion ein einfaches Rezeptionsmitarbeiter ”Oh, schade, das tut mir leid”. Es hätte sich doch hier schlichtweg die Frage nach dem Grund meiner Unzufriedenheit angeboten, denn wie möchte sich ein Hotel verbessern wenn es sich nicht nach der Kritik erkundigt? Aber hier herrscht die Devise vor: egal, Kunde ist abgereist ist mir doch egal waurm es dem Kunden nicht gefallen hat. Bei knapp 800.- für drei Übernachtungen und einen Besuch im hauseigenen Restaurant dann eine sehr enttäuschende Erfahrung. Weit im voraus hatte ich mit dem hotel ommuniziert, dass es eine Geburstagsüberraschung für meinen Partner sein solle, wurde darauf eingegangen: natürlich nicht. Für uns ganz klar, dieses Hotel hat sich für uns erledigt, es gibt bessere A
