“This is a great place to stay...near the lake front, but discreetly tucked away...good value for money”
“Super friendly and personal, with little attentives everywhere. Staff was very kind and organized another night for us in the hotel even if it seemed not possible at first. The rooms are tidy and clean, you got all you need, even a Nespresso machine plus 4 capsules and a big bottle of water. Shower was amazing, a normal shower head plus a rain shower head. The only thing I didn't like too much was the sliding glass door (parts were frosted glass), which granted zero privacy. It's fine for long term couples or open minded people but for some this could be a challenge ;)”
“Very good experience in Merian hotel. Very clean, great rooms, great design. and the staff was very welcoming. Great location too, close to the center area. There is a dedicated area to park bikes as well. There was even a sweet gift for the kids. Bravo !”
“The staff here is so lovely, my boyfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Merian while in town for a wedding, visiting from the US. We had rented a car with Avis and ended up with a flat tire in the parking lot. Neither of us speak German but the front desk staff was SO NICE in being patient with us and helping call Avis’ German help line to get our rental car towed. Be warned there is no AC if thats a deal breaker for you. Despite that, would absolutely recommend staying at this hotel, 5 star service!!!!”
“Lovely modern rooms that offer a great level of comfort. The hotel is run by very friendly people who create a warm atmosphere with an eye for details, for example a welcome bag with keys for late arrivals or welcome message on chalkboard in your room. Located close to Firedrichshafen city center and lake. Minor improvable points: fridge, water cattle, more protein selection (like scrambled egg) for breakfast :-).”
