Staytion Urban City Hotel Mannheim

It's just a stone's throw from the Hauptbahnhof, actually situated on the same street, and really easy to find. We used it as a base for TimeWarp festival and it was perfect. Having only opened in March, everything is pristine. It's a fantastically quirky place with a really funky warehouse/industrial style to the decor, which really works. The staff were mostly friendly (apart from the receptionist on Sunday - more about her later!) and the rooms and common areas were kept spotless - in fact there always seemed to be someone dusting! The bar prices were really reasonable and there was a little cold cabinet with snacks and drinks which you could use when the bar was closed. The beds were really comfy and really warm (as well as air conditioning) there was plenty of storage space and a digital safe in the room. We booked a medium sized room which was nicely spacious. The only downsides were the view to the front of the hotel, which unfortunately is currently a building site, where they are demolishing the old Post Office. Although this did not bother us (as it provided a bit of entertainment!) and was silent over the weekend mornings. The other downside was the strange bar opening policy; Earlier in the day on the Sunday, we had a beer before heading out to have a wander, while on our return there was a different receptionist, who insisted that the bar was closed on Sundays! We found this really strange! Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely stay here again should we find ourselves in Mannheim - would recommend it.

The hotel I a couple of months old. The reception is co-located in the counter of the restaurant on the first floor. The atmosphere gives a modem urban impression. The rooms are nicely designed. The breakfast was in the sister hotel about 75m away. The choices were great. Compared to many other traditional older hotels in Mannheim, this one sticks out as a fresh alternative.

My colleagues and I stayed in this hotel for a few days on a business trip. It can be reached easily and is in a very central position. The rooms are very clean and cozy. also the staff is very helpful. Breakfast was good too but I didn't enjoy the fact that you have to have breakfast into another hotel (of the same chain) about 20/30 meters aside. It's also a pity that they do not have a private car park or, at least, a convention with some nearby parking lots. I don't give 5 stars due to the "problems" listed above, but. in general, I recommend the hotel and if I will have the chance to come back in Mannheim I will seriously take in account this hotel.

Leider habe ich hier nicht übernachtet, sondern war nur im Rahmen eines Meetings im Tagungsbereich. Der Tagungsbereich war wie das Hotel sehr stylisch eingerichtet und der Empfang war ebenfalls sehr freundlich. In den Pausen wurden wir mit leckeren Snacks verwöhnt. Vielleicht komme ich ja bald mal in den Genuss hier auch mal zu nächtigen :-)
