Maximilian Hotel & Apartments Weil am Rhein / Basel Reviews

It was terrible actually. The room was super hot and we considered moving to another hotel in the middle of the night. It was because our little kids fell asleep finally (but woke up a couple of times bc of the heat) that made us decide to leave it as it was. No airco does not mean that you can leave your guests like this, with some cheap ass ventilators. This is not even close to bare minimum requirements. For elderly and little children it’s dangerous. Guys, we are in Europe and it’s 2023. And yes we gave the feedback on the spot several times and the solution offered: We received the key from another room to try but it was the same. In the morning the shift manager told us that this is Germany in the summer without airco. Very below standard. Oh yes, we received free breakfast as compensation. - also in the bathroom the sink only had very hot water. To brush your teeth or wash hands you needed to use the shower. - when flushing the toilet you get a shower for free - window opens in a dangerous way with having little children with you and being on the 6th floor. Strange. Super weird and exhausting experience and even for 1 night, please scroll further and look for an alternative hotel. Sorry for the operational staff as they don’t have the power to influence or control any of this. But please improve your sh*t or shut this circus down.

We stayed where as a pass-over hotel. We had the three persons room. The room had no air condition and the temperature was that of a sauna. Not very pleasant to sleep in with a long journey ahead. Couldn’t sleep at all. The bed was on one side against the wall. And the bed was narrow. The hotel is inside a shopping mall. It felt creepy. The reception is on the 6th floor. Our rooms were on the 5th floor. There is just a small elevator going up. It is difficult to find, the first time, after you enter the parking area. There is no unloading area, so after parking you have to walk to the hotel enterende. But there is no side walk, making it a bit unsafe. The only up side to the hotel is free parking.

Location very unconfortable: the reception is at the 5th floor (!) and is serving one hotel splitted in two (one part is a 4*, while the Maximilian is a 3*). Rooms are quite large but less then basic: cheap fornitures, unconfortable bath with a plastic tent, no A/C, lamps not working properly. The only positive point is that you can use for free the undergrownd parking belonging to a supermarket.

The hotel is well located, the staff is very friendly. But for me there are big downsides to the rooms. Broken blinds, broken curtains, dirt under the bedside tables, towel dryers that don't work, and above all what bothers me the most is that with 9 degrees at night, there is no heating... it's really cold in the rooms, the windows are full of condensation…. In short, it's not great. I don't know if it's the same for the 4* and I would be curious to know because for a future trip I would happily come back here but not in the 3*.
