Mercure Hotel Wuerzburg am Mainufer — Hotel in Würzburg

Hotel has reliable a/c — quiet and easy to operate. Good wifi signal (but I was on the first floor). Room felt really cramped and poorly designed but stylish in look. Hard mattress, soft pillow, big screen tv with wide channel variety. Toilets also conservative with superior water pressure and hot water but shower barrier too short to prevent water spraying onto the floor. Super-slippery bath tub but holding bar present. Hand towel rungs also located lower than expected. Only a 5 minute walk to the Alte Mainbrücke (old bridge) [maybe 10 if you are slow walker]. Kind service at reception, who held onto our luggage for free while we explored the town. Make sure keycards aren’t near your mobile phones or they won’t work. Short tram ride to train station (10 mins or 4 stops on #2) or

We traveled as a family to Wurtzburg for 2 nights. It's your typical chain hotel but there were two issues for our family. 1. The shower was a danger zone. You had to climb over the tub and there wasn't much of anything to grab onto except the towel rack. It had a partial glass door on the tub so you couldn't grab that as it moved. To add to the danger, the bathtub floor was slippery. Three members of our traveling group are seniors, but even younger me felt unsafe getting in and out. 2. If you are driving a larger car like we were and are not an experienced European driver then both the surface parkade and underground parkade are not suitable. Thankfully there was a huge parking lot just across the street and down a very short way. The breakfast was very good, they had lots of variety. The room was clean, and the location was great. For dinner, we went to the beer garden across the street and it was very good. If it wasn't for the dangerous bathtub situation, I would have given this...

Impeccable in every aspect! Smiley welcome, efficient check-in, recognition of Gold membership and upgrade for both me & wife, plus the second room for the kids ... + snacks and welcome drinks for everyone. Superb room and fantastic mattress = divine sleep comfort. The bathroom amenities were also of top quality... even the small details were carefully considered (nespresso coffee machine, slippers, bathrobes etc). Proximity to city center and easy on-site parking were a big PLUS to visit the crowded Christmas market. Breakfast was also EXCELLENT in terms of variety, quality and frequent replenishment. I am struggling to find something negative ... perhaps only that breakfast room became overcrowded after a little while ... BUT the whole family had a great table, so we enjoyed it. Definitely the best overnight stay in our Christmas markets road-trip to...
