Why Beethoven did not stay here
.... but considering the decoration, he almost could have done so..... Obviously there were more competitive hotels at his time.
This former Mercure hotel belongs now to a small Austrian group and the problem of the property is that it is neither old (dating form 1960) nor modern.
Since competition is tough in musical city Baden they have to rely on bus groups, whcih means a very busy breakfast table even for private single guests. (Actually I also did not like how the staff treated their Chinese bus guests at breakfast time ....)
Positive aspects: The central location at the Casiino and Kurpark, where Johann Strauss has conducted his Waltzes and Monzarts, Beethoven's and his music is still played (free of charge) each summer afternoon (Kurkonzet).. The view to this Park and the surrounding woods and montains, the wellness zone and the large rooms.
Reception was friendly even during a 11 pm checkin and I got a parking lot within 3 minutes.
Was lucky to negotiate an excellent value rate.
