What a fantastic stay in this great hotel, absolutely amazing staf, service minded, friendly, smiling, and the food was great especially breakfast also
I will for sure be back
The staff was incredibly helpful. I stayed in the newer part of the building and it was immaculate. The room was really comfortable. They were doing work on the front of the building, but it never interfered with my stay there. The dinners were good too in case you wanted to do dinner there. It’s a really charming place.
This hotel had friendly staff, a bright breakfast room, large guest rooms, and was really well located for walking to the old town and marina areas. We will stay here next time.
Great location and the staff are amazing, rooms are spacious. Our train was cancelled to Kiel and the staff help us with our further travel. Would recommended this hotel you would not dissapointed.
Very helpful staff, very clean and a great location for me. I went out early on the day of departure and because the kitchen is closed on a Sunday they were not able to provide a boxed breakfast.
Cosy and clean room, nice common area outside the room, kind employees in the hotel and restaurant, fantastic breakfast, tasty evening meal and wine in the hotel restaurant. Hotel locatoin is central in Schleswig only 5 minutes walk from city center pedestrian street. Only German TV channels available, not a big problem, we decided to not watch tv during our weekend stay. Cosy cafe just around the corner and a vere nice restaurant/brewery (Lucifer) only 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
Had an absolutely wonderful stay. Delightful, helpful staff like staying with friends! Thank you so much. The breakfast? Well, that was a delight, so much choice, all fresh and delicious.
Hope to come back to visit the area again and this will be my hotel of choice hands down. Comfortable room, close to amenities and landmarks. If you’re ever in Schleswig - I recommend a stay here.
Breakfast was ok/fine. Location good close to the old part of town but perhaps not the most charming views. Very good parking just behind the hotel (and free).
Room was excellent!! A comfort double room. Very spacious and small details in planning of the room made it one of my top stays in an hotel. Details like vanity mirror in the bathroom, plenty of electrical outlets to charge computers and phones, nice seating area are just a few exempels of details that gives a good impression. I would say it was really good value for the money.
Nice and clean and practical. Beds are very comfortable. We didn’t realize when we booked that we would not be staying in the old part of the hotel, but instead in a modern separate building across the parking lot (a bit disappointing).. Restaurant kitchen closes at 9pm, so if you are arriving late - drinks are your only options (no snacks) or possibly a pizza place that is still open so where in town. We were travelling in low season but parking lot was full - we took last spot, not sure what are the parking options when hotel is busier.
Location is very central with a shirt walk to the St. Peter Cathedral and the harbour.

Dejligt værelse i god størrelse! Den medfølgende morgenmad var super, med alt hvad man kunne ønske!
Personalet var søde og meget indstillet på at hjælpe til med at imødekomme/ løse dette og hint!
Kan varmt anbefales
