AC Hotel Mainz

Fantastic experience. The hotel doesn't look like much from the busy street, but once inside it is a great little hotel. I was in Mainz for work with several others, and it was a great central location near the train station with direct lines to FRA. The amenities were not luxury, but everything was very well attended to. My room was on the second floor overlooking the square out front. The room was quiet, well climate controlled, and very clean. It felt like an apartment, with detailed woodworking around the windows and everything was built solid, so nothing squeaked or rattled, and you did not hear anyone in the hallway or on the busy street one floor down. The staff remembered my name each time I saw them and always said hello with a smile. All that would have been good enough, but the restaurant is incredible. When you see a hotel restaurant filled with locals every night, you know it's good. Breakfast was a "buffet" meaning there were items out to choose from, but you could order eggs cooked to your liking. Everything was fresh, clean, tasty and it was a great selection. We also ate dinner here twice. The menu was small, but there is something for everyone. I had the duck the first night and an Icelandic fish (can't remember the name) the second night. Everything was perfectly portioned, hot (without the plate being hot) and well presented. Given the amazing food, I was in need of some exercise. Aside from being in a good location for exploring Mainz on foot, the AC has memberships at a fitness center next door called McFit. I went twice and it was great to have a full gym with all the equipment while traveling. I will be back in Mainz regularly and this will be my hotel of choice.

Clean room with a Good location near transportation and restaurants

The bathroom seemed updated, very functional, decor really nice. But found the lack of towel bars an inconvenience. The choice to hand wet towels was either over the shower door, over the hair dryer on wall or on bathroom door handles, not very convenient. The hand soap bar way to strong perfumery....reminded me of mens after shave..
