LOCATION: From the train station Bansin, it is a 20 minutes walk to the hotel - but if you call beforehand, the hotel will send you a taxy cab (for free). STAFF: Very friendly and professional staff - you got the feelign they care about you. Hurried check-out was no problem, as well as getting a sewing kit when a button of my business coat was about to fall off. ROOM(S): I had two adjacent rooms: one livingroom with a couch and tv, desk/chair, and a very spacious bedroom with a double-bed, two nightstands, a massive wooden phone table, a huge closet and suitcase rack + separate rather spacious bathroom with a shower. The lightning in all rooms were very pleasant and warm, beautiful details in the lights. The bed linen was clean and fresh, the usual "fake fur" blankets (really disgusting in most hotels) were neatly put into the wardrobe for individual use. The carpet was worn out at some places, but it made the whole stay very "cozy", because it was yet all very clean. BATHROOM: Towels were enough and very clean and average soft. Very clean bath, offers even a shower cap next to the usual travel size lotion, soap etc. and the shampoo, liquid soap that comes witht he bathroom. Extra mirror for makeup, shaving etc. and hairdryer. DINING HALL: Old school glamorous and classic, the staff is very attentive and offers you coffee in a decanter almost immediately. The offered breakfast buffet was not special, but had everything you needed. The selection of fruits during this winter was really nice! On one morning, I was in such a hurry I could only wolf down food within 5 minutes, so I just gulped down the coffee and asked for a paper napkin to take a bread "to go". My waitress immediately saw I had to leave (late for a meeting) and asked "to pack breakfast to go?" and returned within a blink of an eye with a huge strand of aluminium foil, so I could take even two rolls to go. ETC: You have to ask for slippers at the front desk separately, and I would highly recommending doing that, since there is carpet everywhere and even though they seem to be cleaning it very thoroughly, Germans are used to wear shoes in the apartment, which doesn't seem very hygienic. BRING SWIMWEAR, this hotel offers a swimming pool for guests in the basement facilities! Make sure you get a room with a view! The hotel is directly lovated at the sea shore, just 5 minutes walk from the entrance to the shore and you can hear the waves in the mornings and evenings - it's so refreshing! SHORTFALLS: A lamp on the desk was missing, so the work space was no use for me. Working during late hours was nearly impossble and I had to work in the bed, which was rather inconvenient. The room was not heated upon arrival (below zero degrees celsius) and the air seemed stagnant in the room. Had to air the whole apartment before turning up the heat. The massive curtains don't work porperly at some windows; they cannot be closed entirely and light from the next door hotel is coming in. My room was in short proximity to the next buildings, so that was really inconvenient. *** NO WLAN!! *** This is probably the only point that led to deducing a star: I was there for a business meeting, and without internet access in the room, it was a huge hassle to prepare for the meetings and presentations! (The organizers booked the place, so I did not know in advance) CONCLUSION: I would definitely recommend this hotel, the prices are very good and overall, the hotel is very clean and the staff is nice. However, I would highly recommend getting a nightstand for the workplace in the livingroom and wlan in every room!

“Great hotel!”

Stayed a night here on the boardwalk in Bansin, by the Baltic coast. This hotel is great! Good service, very nice rooms, and nice breakfast! Pricey....

Stayed a night here on the boardwalk in Bansin, by the Baltic coast. This hotel is great! Good service, very nice rooms, and nice breakfast! Pricey.... But in my view worth it compared to the other places I spotted while there! So, why not five stars? Well, I travel A LOT, spend over a hundred days a year in hotels, and there are a few things missing for the last star in this price range! First of all, wifi. In rooms. Its 2012. And of course for free! Power outlets in room.... I want to charge my phone and iPad... After a lot of research I found one socket that I could use, after unplugging the reading lamp for the chair.... Breakfast. All ok, but some items missing! More veggies. Better selection of warm dishes. Its very easy to tell the five star hotels from the rest, they got what I need for breakfast. What it is remains my secret though.... ;=)

We complained about it for 2 days before they managed to clean it up. The only thing good about this hotel was the breakfast and dinner. The breakfast lived up to a 4 **** hotel.
