Hotel Markgraf Leipzig

The staff where helpful and patient. the room was amazing and everybody did their utmost to help you

Great value for money hotel approx. 15 minute stroll to the centre of Leipzig, with plenty or bars and places to eat nearby.

It was a single room but it felt quite spacious. It was also very clean! There were loads of restaurants nearby, too.

I booked a stay from hotels.com -- it was my second time at the location. I reserved a room at 6pm -- I arrived at about 1am to check it. Nobody was there. Outside, there was a self check-in box -- my name could not be found. I called an emergency number on the window -- an upset man answered, unwilling to speak English. He repeatedly asked for my room number -- obviously I wasn't given one yet. I was told to wait outside for 30 minutes for someone to arrive. A friendly, chatty security guard arrived exactly 30 minutes later, and it took another 30+ minutes to get into our room. Basically -- he demanded that I visit the front desk at 7am to pay -- despite my previous reservation, and it being already 2:30am. The security guard awkwardly took photos of all of my personal info, then he sat outside watching my window for at least 30 more minutes. The room was facing the front of the building- bright lights blasting through the windows all night, heavy street construction starting at 7am, an empty mini bar, and a large beetle immediately found crawling over the bed. The next morning, the staff still seemed completely clueless about who I was, my situation, and that I was commanded to visit the front desk, less then 5 hours after my arrival. Finally, the neighborhood in general is not welcoming. When Parking my car, I found a large swastika spray painted on the building next door. It is a very ugly reminder of the current climate in all of Saxony.

A nice hotel very close (2 minute walk) to Karl-Liebknecht St. which has a great selection of restaurants and pubs. It’s also convenient to walking into old town Leipzig or catching a tram to get there. The hotel room was a very spacious double with a good condition, large and clean bathroom. The front desk help was friendly and spoke good English. The street is currently under repair (June 2019) so that made things look a little shabby outside but upon completion will probably improve the look. We had a car and were able to find free parking nearby.

The internet could have been better, and the hair dryers were outdated. Otherwise, it was clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful and they will offer free mineral water if you forgo the daily room cleaning.

Very convenient for family

We had a pleasant stay in the hotel. We stayed in one of the rooms in the back of the building, because from the front there is a large building site. It was very silent in the night. In the evening we were a bit bothered by the cigarette smoke, from downstairs and surrounding buildings. The staff was very kind and helpful, we were provided with additional towels (hand towels are not provided) and a water kettle. The room was small (the cheapest option), but clean, with comfortable, although rather small for a couple, bed. Judging from the lights/lamp set up and traces on the wall, it used to be a single room. It was enough for us to stay for 3 nights, although I must say that gradually we got tired of a small bed and little space. The windows are big and we kept them open for most of the time. Wi-Fi was not that good but it didn't bother us much, since we spent most of the day outside of the hotel. The area is good for outing, with plenty of restaurants and shops walking distance. The tram is few steps from the hotel. We didn't really try the breakfast.

appreciated the bottle of water in the room. was not impossible to find a parking lot in the nearby streets (in february), but i guess during high season it could be tough. the breakfast was quite ok, one could even make an own waffle.

Great spot for travelling with family
