Hotel Merian in Friedrichshafen

A very nice, clean hotel slightly away from the spotlight in Friedrichshafen . The room was very nice and modern and quite large. The staff were friendly. A nice place to stay!

I try to be careful when making reservations for hotels - I like to find that hidden special place to stay. The Merian - a modern building - is approx 12 minutes walk from the railway station - with a little uphill walk. There is on site parking if you arrive by car. A bus stop - for regular services into town are just a few minutes walk away, though you could walk in 15 minutes via the lake front - which is beautiful. Th reception area has an honesty fridge with beers and soft drinks, and plenty of books and leaflets on the local area. note that these are nearly all in German. The receptionist who checked me in was wonderful - full of the zest of life with a big smile. I was immediately made welcome. The hotel is only two floors, and there is a lift. I was allocated room 210. The room is an excellent size with large windows, and a BIG bed. TV/ great coffee maker, hanging space, and a modern bathroom. A couple of small minor details. I would like somewhere to put my soap/shampoo in the shower, and air con (especially on a hot hot couple of days ) would have made sleeping so much better for me. The breakfast room, which included a super outdoor shaded patio area, is on the ground floor. Lovely stocked buffet breakfast overall and it all seemed fresh and local. I have to admit I had more than one yoghurt!! yum. Would I stay here again? yes yes yes....what a super place to stay !

Another business trip to the Boden See which not always fascinating however, this beautifully created gem in Friedrichshafen gave me great joy. Staff is exceptionally friendly everyone feels like we would be family. The design is great good touches. Best part in the room my name was on the wall. Thank you definitely coming back
