Soelden Vacations from $959

Set in a former Banque de France building, this hotel offers an unusual and charming environment. It is almost brand new, opened in 2023, clean and decorated with an understated elegance. All the staff members we interacted with during our 3-night stay were friendly, dedicated to make our stay great and meeting our needs. It also was a real pleasure to discuss with. The parking is sized to the hotel capacity and is secure (cctv in operation). The rooms offer Japanese toilets, quite rare in hotels in France. The only negative points were the curtains which didn’t fully block daylight and the A/C directed towards the upper part of the bed hence blowing to your face during the night. We were in a suite with terrace in the main building so this last point may not be the case with all bedrooms. Finally, important to note that there are no doors between the bedroom and the bathroom part.

The pool was great, but we couldn't use it or the jacuzzi on our last morning because of an Aquafit class. Although the check-in was efficient we were not told about the Konus Card available to visitors for free train and bus travel in the Black Forest. We learnt of this in the local tourist information office, but only after we had checked out. The use of a fan in the non-aircon room would have been a bonus.

Surrounded by block of flats with people hanging around, felt unsafe. No A\C, in hot weather rooms very warm

The stay was great at the Mercure Belfort. Just a one night stopover but it was very good. Staff were very helpful and the room was lovely. Ate in the bar/restaurant connected to the hotel, this was all deck out for Halloween and was quite buzzing busy. Never the less we got a table and the food was good. We also charged the car overnight and the charger was good, perfect for overnight charge. Would definitely stay again.
