I have been coming to this hotel for the past 8 years annually for business, and while it has the…read moreBEST location by far for sure compared to its near partner location, it could use some updating. Location; THE BEST- across street from train station, 15 steps from the mall, right in center of Leipzig square - you are in the heart of everything. This literally can't be beat. Staff- 5 stars- they are so kind, eager to help and quick to respond, exceptional English too for their English speaking visitors, I have seen some of the same staff for several years! Food- 4-5 stars for room service and lounge, quick, good, just miss the bottle waters in the lounge and coffee in the room is not my favorite. It's not your normal Marriott coffee, it's powder packets so bring your own or head to the lounge. Room itself: 3 stars - This is where the updating needs to occur. There are no outlets at the desk to work, bathrooms are quite small, only 1 extra outlet source by your bed and at the floor by your desk. I always travel with extension cords that have multiple usb outlets for charging here knowing the outlet situation. Coffee maker is only a water pot you heat to add water to powder coffee packets. The hairdryer- you have to hold down a button the entire time to make it work and it's attached to the wall (although the power isn't too bad) Room Pros: There is a safe, there are enough hangers, there is a iron They did update their bar area this year which was awesome- large screen TV, more welcoming bar, and restaurant on site as well but tons of restaurants right outside your doorstep too.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic, and I highly recommend staying here. The location is perfect,…read moreand some of the rooms overlook the plaza and the Nikolaikirche. We received a corner room with two balconies that overlooked the plaza, and it was a delight to watch the people and excitement of the city. There are so many great restaurants, bars, and bakeries nearby. We paid $113 for our room, including breakfast, which was delicious. The staff members with whom we interacted were very friendly, and the bed was super comfy. I will definitely stay here again when I am next in Leipzig. We parked in the Q-Park Augustusplatz parking deck, which was 15 euro for overnight parking. Leipzig is very walkable, so we did not need to drive once we arrived at the hotel.

The location is the only positive that we experienced. The location of this hotel is fantastic in…read morethe same square as Nilolaikirsche. It is an easy walk from the train station. The gentleman who greeted us at the reception was terrible and unwelcoming. He bearly spoke English, and refused to honor our voucher for a complementary breakfast for two claiming that I did "not click the breakfast reservation button" when I reserved the room. We later found out that breakfast is a buffet, so extending us the courtesy would have made happy guests. The room was very small with hardly any room to open both suitcases. The room claimed to have a safe, but there was none. It was difficult to control the lights, as it was either on with the room card in the slot or off by removing the card. The TV would not turn off, and we were stuck with a constant hour loop of a burning fireplace. There were two elevators, but only one was working. The working elevator took forever to arrive. We would have taken the stairs if we were not on the fifth floor. The cleaning staff blocked the hallway each morning with their carts and expected the guests to get out of their way. It was ok for staying one or two nights, but I would not stay there any longer.

Nice hotel located by a "city Center", which means tons of stuff to do nearby. Restaurants,…read moreshopping etc. The train station was also right across the street which made it super convenient. The hotel it was nice and pretty standard with most Westins. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the beds were comfortable as well. The breakfast was very good here. Large selection of hot food, deli items, fruit, cereal etc.

I was staying in Merseburg at the Radisson Blu during a week-long business trip at Leuna. The…read moreoriginal plan was Gayle to arrive (from Paris) on Thursday night, and that we'd stay at the hotel until taking a cab to Leipzig on Saturday morning, We'd then take the train to Prague. However, my host convinced me that staying at the Westin in Leipzig and taking a little time on Friday to explore the City would be an excellent alternative. I was easily able to take one night off the Radisson reservation and add a night at the Westin. The only "complication" was that the standard Company room was sold out and that I'd need to spend a few more Euro for an upgrade. The new total was still well within Company guidelines, but a bit higher usual. The travel agent also advised that I could check in at the front desk to see if the Company rate had become available. I started to do that when Gayle and I arrived at the Westin Leipzig. After feeling a couple swift kicks, I decided to abandon that line of inquiry. Or as Gayle later remarked: Why would you turn down an upgrade? And that's one difference between an economy husband and his first-class wife. We ended up getting an upgrade to the upgrade, at no extra charge. The room was fabulous and in Gayle's mind one of her best stays ever. The room was spacious, accented by white leather furniture, comfy chairs, a great bed and a complimentary bottle of wine. The view was panoramic and facing away for city centre. It was one of those rooms that you really didn't want to leave, regardless of city sights that were waiting. The next morning, an enormous breakfast buffet was available and included with the room. And since the train station was literally across the street, it was an easy walk to our next destination. If I'm lucky to pass this way again, I'll make it a point to stay at the Westin Leipzig. It was that memorable of an experience.

Breakfast was pretty good! However, there was a very unpleasant smell in the entire sitting area…read more(kinda like wet dog or cat). If that bothers you, stay away! But very good Desayunos Eggs!!

The hotel is easily located near the town square, (we arrived by train and were able to walk there very easily with our luggage). The service is WONDERFUL, and the rooms are clean, quite, and have everything a traveler needs to be able to relax. There is an elevator for the upper floors. The breakfast is delicious and has many choices for all dietary preferences.

The staff is super friendly. We were so excited to dine last night, and were disappointed that they brutally stripped down the menu they still offer on their website - so only four out of five this time. It should be an easy fix - either correct the website or offer what you promise. Sorry!

If you are still reading, I have stayed at this Leipzig Penta Hotel hundreds of times and sometimes refer to it as my second home. Not sure why I haven't yelped this place earlier. Maybe it is kind of like yelping your own house? I was going to give 2 stars, but bumped it up to 3 due to the excellent and accommodating staff throughout the hotel, as well as the very good restaurant service and quality of food. It is also clean and safe, and the location while not being the best compared to the Marriott, Novotel, Westin or Radison Blue is only a short 8 minute walk to either the train station or the hot spots of the city center. Who ever did the interior decorating of this hotel was either brilliant or a nut. I am still trying to figure out what this place reminds me of. It's just a combination of funky and weird throughout....from the check in area being an extended disco bar, to the bright white albino moose light in the one corner staring down at all, to the white/brown cow hide chairs in the lobby, to the cheap furniture and carpeting, and soaps in the rooms. The beds are tiny and hard, and the pillows are too soft and thin. If the weather is warmer than 26C, you better ask for a room fan quickly because the rooms get stifling hot. At least you can open your windows here, but then it is noisy or buggy. I guess as long as I have a job and my company pays for this hotel, I can live with weird!

First, there was the booking experience. I emailed the info address with my needs and got a friendly and immediate response from the general manager himself, Herr Reinhold. They made both of their suites available which proved a very good option for us with many kids and grandpa/grandma. When the evening of our arrival coincided with the soccer Eurocup, we asked if we could dine in the suite instead of in the restaurant. The catering team set up an exquisite buffet in the room that everyone enjoyed. They arranged EV charging for us and tickets to the Leipzig zoo (highly recommended). Every little need was met with a smile and a way to figure it out. Service at its best, the pandemic notwithstanding. The suites themselves were spacious and light, comfortable and well-appointed, and quiet. When in Leipzig, stay here.
