We stayed here as a couple for one night. We liked it very much. The train station, zoo and old town are within walking distance. Our room was on the 17th floor and offered a fantastic view. All the employees were very friendly.

Really nice hotel about 8 minutes walk from the train station. Lovely reception and rooms were really pleasant. Bed was clean and comfortable. Shower over bath gave options for bath but is a bit old fashioned today. …

Great hotel ,with amazing ,caring staff let down by corporate greed of owners /shareholders who decide to safe 100k a year for in-house IT team and instead outsourced guest internet to atrocious mycloud.eu service which does not work. Sadly I am poor enough to have to work for living ,which means having internet is essential. But this hotel simply cannot provide reliable internet and bizzarly even German 4g from my phone is a letdown. It sad to see that things detoriate on this front so that owners can eek out some more profit.

The Westin Leipzig is very centrally located, just a few minutes' walk from the main train station, which makes it particularly convenient for travelers. The location in beautiful Leipzig makes it possible to reach many sights quickly on foot. The hotel lobby is spacious and pleasantly air-conditioned, which ensures a pleasant arrival, especially in hot weather. The reception is staffed around the clock, allowing for flexible arrival and departure.The rooms were clean and of a reasonable size. Particularly noteworthy is the beautiful view of Leipzig, which you can enjoy from the rooms - a great plus point.Unfortunately there were some inconveniences regarding breakfast. Despite having booked breakfast, it was not possible to put together a lunch or brunch box for us because we didn't show up for breakfast in time due to a night shift. We had already asked for a lunch box when checking in the evening before at around 10 p.m., but we were later told at reception that it could no longer be communicated to the responsible staff. This explanation was difficult to understand, as a simple message, be it by email, note or direct transmission of the information through the 24/7 reception, could have been a solution.It was also not possible to charge back the breakfast, which was particularly annoying since the breakfast was paid for but not used. In addition, food was probably thrown away unnecessarily, which could have been avoided. However, on a positive note, the staff remained friendly and tried hard throughout the entire communication.Overall a good stay, but a better solution and communication would have been desirable on this point.
