Roomers Baden-Baden is a hotel with striking highlights, but also recurring issues that significantly affect the overall experience.
The rooms are spacious, well designed and still feel high-quality even after years of use, especially the bathrooms. The rooftop bar, heated pool, and terrace are highlights — fantastic in summer and equally appealing in winter with late opening hours and even drink service by the pool. The spa area itself is cool, with a nice sauna and indoor pool, but it quickly becomes overcrowded and is simply too small during peak times.
Breakfast is excellent and clearly one of the hotel’s strongest assets: a wide selection, very good quality, generous à-la-carte options such as Eggs Benedict and weekend service until noon.
Unfortunately, the arrival experience feels impersonal and transactional. Despite being a Marriott Platinum member and having stayed here at least five times, I am repeatedly asked whether it is my first visit. Loyalty recognition and proactive upgrades are noticeably weaker compared to other Marriott brands such as W or Westin and advance inquiries about upgrades seem to result in rooms with a little sofa on the second floor in the best case.
The gym is disappointing for a hotel of this level. There is no cable machine and no barbell at all — only very light dumbbells — making any serious workout essentially impossible.
The biggest issue, however, is noise and guest behavior. During our recent two-night stay, loud music with heavy bass started around 2 a.m. on the first night. Despite calling reception twice, it took about 30 minutes to resolve, leaving us awake until nearly 3 a.m. On the second night, loud music was again audible from somewhere in the building. On a previous stay, we even had to change rooms at night due to bass traveling from the bar below.
A noticeable number of guests behave disrespectfully, particularly at night and in the spa, with loud music and conversations showing little regard for others and repeatedly ruining what should be a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Restful sleep has consistently been an issue — and this will ultimately be the reason we will not stay overnight again.
We will gladly return for breakfast and the bar, but for overnight stays, we will choose a different hotel in Baden-Baden.
