Ruhiges Wellnesshotel im Grünen und doch Stadt nah

Tolles Wellnesshotel mit schick Design in der Nähe von Lübeck aber trotzdem sehr ruhig gelegen. Großzügiger Wellnessbereich mit zwei Saunen, einem sehr stylisch und gemütlichen Ruheraum sowie Frischluft Zugang im Garten. Leckeres Frühstück und sehr freundliches Personal. Gerne wieder.

Das Hotel als solches ist schön und sehr angenehm. Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und lecker. Allerdings ist das Einzelzimmer direkt im Treppenraum nicht zu empfehlen. Das Zimmer ist sehr, sehr klein. Tür und Kopfende des Bettes liegen direkt nebeneinander. Personen die die Treppe heraufkommen unterhalten sich ein paar cm neben dem eigen Bett.Das Bett knarrt bei jeder Bewegung. Der Teppich hatte einen großen, langen Fleck. Das Bad ist recht neu allerdings sehr eng. Das Wasser im Waschbecken lief nicht ab. Das Zimmer ist von dem 4 Sterne-Standard definitiv weit entfernt. Dafür habe ich den Abzug gegeben.

Ein sehr solides Hotel mit ansprechendem Restaurant und sehr gutem Frühstücksbuffet. Die Zimmer sind zum Teil schon modernisiert, z.B. die Teppiche und das Mobiliar im Schlaf-/Wohnbereich. Allerdings müssten die Bäder dringend gemacht werden - bis zum Besuch dachte ich eigentlich, dass beigebraune Kacheln, Toiletten und Waschbecken schon seit 30 Jahren ausgestorben sind...

För den som gillar lugnet och promenader.

Hotellet låg i ett skogsområde. Precis utanför fanns utmärkta vandringleder. Området var lugnt och skönt. Det var rent och snyggt. Bra frukost, lite av varje att äta. En restaurang fanns där man kunde middag till ett rimlig pris. Personalen var trevilg och hjälpsam. Fanns även ett spa vilket jag inte han pröva.

Das Personal war freundlich. Das Hotel ist sauber. Frühstück sehr lecker. Es war genug Parkplätze, welche der Gäste kostenfrei zur Verfügung stehen. Leider ist die Ausstattung im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels mit dem gleichen Preis nicht so gut und etwa veraltet. Im Badzimmer gab es keine Seife..sodass jch eine von der Rezeption bekommen habe. Ich würde eher das Restaurant weiteremphelen. Das Hotel eignet sich eher für einen kurzen Aufenthalt und nicht für langen Urlaub.

Im Bad: Waschbecken gesprungen, Armaturen stark abgenutzt, WC im Abflussbereich fast schwarz, Schimmel an Fliesen, Silikonfugen gerissen, Lüftung verdreckt und Lüftungsgitter kaputt. Im Wohn-/Schlafbereich: Fleckiger Teppichboden, Bett quietschte bei jeder noch so kleinen Bewegung,... Insgesamt sehr veraltet und definitiv Renovierungsstau. Kein Aufzug vorhanden. Frühstück: Keine Kaffeeauswahl (nur Filterkaffee), keine laktosefreie Milch. Sonst gut und reichhaltig. Personal: Trotz Hauptsaison (Sommer) war Service an Rezeption und im Frühstücksbereich insgesamt mit nur einer Person besetzt, aber freundlich.
