“A cosy, comfortable and quiet hotel”

Formally it is a 4-star hotel. Although it lacks certain services that I expect from a 4-star hotel, I must acknowledge that it is very comfortable and pleasant, so my judgement is positive, and I will certainly stay here again when I will be in Hameln. The hotel is family run and has a total of 24 rooms. It is right in the centre of the town, in an affluent and quiet quarter, and the elegant 4-storey building where it is located presumably was a former residential house. It has parking place for about a dozen of cars in the courtyard. The rates are inclusive of parking and breakfast, and are clearly listed in their web site; luckily, they are not subject to the seasonal or daily fluctuations that are usual in the larger hotels. It should be appreciated that all rooms are provided with efficient air conditioning, a convenience which is not so common in this part of Germany. The hotel is definitely elegant, and much care has been taken in appropriately designing the rooms, with clever use of colours and insertion of pieces of old or antique furniture. Every room has a different personality and all of them are pleasant and cosy. Beds and bedding are definitely good; space is abundant; my room was in the attic, so I could also benefit of a large independent terrace. The bathroom is very modern and complete. The buffet breakfast is abundant, varied and with good quality food. Management is friendly. Booking procedures are easy, either by telephone or by e-mail. Enough English is spoken at the reception. There are also some downsides, caused by the fact that certain benefits and amenities that are usually got in a 4-star hotel are not available here. Service and assistance are discontinued at night, between 22:00 and 6:00: the guests can however open the external doors with their key. There are no coffee making facilities in the room; no complimentary drinking water is provided, except on the first night; there are no toilet amenities in the bathroom, except soap in a dispenser; there are only two TV channels broadcasting in non-German languages, i.e. BBC-news and CNN; the hotel lacks a business-room provided with computer, printer and Internet connection. However, the comfort of a short-term stay is only marginally impaired by these shortcomings. The hotel is located only 100 metres away from the historical centre of the town, making it easy to explore the town or to reach the commercial area. The quarter is very quiet; traffic is scarce and noise non-existent. The hotel appears very appropriate for tourism and business purposes.

“Great Hotel”

Family stayed the night in 2 x Comfort Rooms. Great hotel with all you need for a quick visit to Hameln. Situated only 5 minutes from the town centre and also has parking for 5 euro a day. Bed comfy and rooms clean.

“Comfortable hotel with a lot of character”

Our room was large, clean and comfortable. Car parking was free with sufficient spaces (there were a couple of spaces left overnight when we were there). Breakfast was good with a good cold buffet in a very pleasant room with some tab le outdoors. Whilst the hotel was very good the town of Hameln was dissapointing. We could not find anywhere in town to get a drink at 9pm on a Saturday - the whole town seemed to be closed. We went back to the hotel and the bar there was in darkness, so we went to our room and had a drink from the mini bar (mini bar prices were reasonable - EUR 2 for a 33cl beer is very good).

Arriving at the train station we got a taxi for €9 to the hotel. Got all the info you require from reception, incl a map and rec for restaurants. We were allocated room 14 on the 1 st floor. There is a lift. Our room was spacious and well suited for a person with mobility issues. One of the beds was able to be tilted and the bathroom was well designed with grab rails and easy access to the shower. There is a drying rack, always useful for the traveller. The room overlooked a side street and was very quiet. The windows are openable. Its nicely decorated with Art Nouveau touches in keeping with the general theme of the hotel. TV and bar fridge. Apples are on the room for the 1st night and they are near reception also. The free wifi needs a separate code is needed for each device. Breakfast was held in a bright room adjacent to reception on the ground floor. Good array of cereals and dried fruit, yogurt, meats and cheeses. Hard boiled eggs as well as some homemade cake. Its all served buffet style and there was variety on each day, but not inspiring Fresh flowers are on the tables. Access to the hotel from the car park needs a key, or during working hours, you can buzz. Staff are not there in the evenings. The hotel is well located for exploring the old town. Upon checkout, the reception staff kindly called a taxi for us. We thought this hotel unexceptional but was a good place to stay

“Nice hotel and close to the town center”

The breakfast is very poor. There is almost no selection. No bacon, no sausage and no selection to speak off. You can ask for fried eggs or scrambled.

The breakfast is very poor. There is almost no selection. No bacon, no sausage and no selection to speak off. You can ask for fried eggs or scrambled. The service at breakfast is slow and it is difficult to get more coffee. The server at breakfast doesn't look around to see how everyone (4 to 6 people) are doing and if they needed anything. They walk in deliver something and walk out without taking a second to ask how everyone one is doing. Fresh fruit selection is poor and usually only one item. I also wish they started breakfast at 6:30 am weekdays when I need an early start for meetings. I will recommend the hotel but do not expect much for service amenities. They do have a sauna but it is $5 extra. There is no exercise equipment, treadmills or weights available.
