Hotel Exquisit

“Small, family run, cosy hotel. ”

We stayed in 2 rooms over 4 nights. Our rooms were across the road in the additional building not in the main hotel.

We stayed in 2 rooms over 4 nights. Our rooms were across the road in the additional building not in the main hotel. That building doesn't have a lift, which did make it hard work carrying suitcases to the 2nd floor. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The double bed was 2 singles pushed together, which had advantages and disadvantages. The shower was amazing. The rooms were serviced every day. The rooms also had mini bars which were very reasonably priced, unfortunately they weren't restocked, so once you'd taken something out once that was it. The buffet breakfast was very nice indeed, we had plenty to eat each day. The only one to moan was my 14 year old daughter, who was a fussier eater than the rest of us and ate Nutella on toast every day. On our 3rd day we asked to use the pool and sauna. We were given bath robes at reception and they turned everything on for us as it was all off. We got the pool and sauna all to ourselves which was great. The downside to it being a small hotel was that the bar and restaurant was closed most of the time. On Sunday afternoon after being out all day, we just fancied 2 beers at the bar and to watch football, but sadly it was closed. They did offer us to take a beer to our room but we declined and just had a beer out of our rooms mini bar instead. A bottle of beer for 2.5 euro each. Would definitely stay here again when I next visit Minden, they were very friendly. They also spoke more English than we spoke German which was very helpful. Would also highly recommend the Felix Chinese-imbiss over the bridge, delicious!

We stayed here for one night while travelling thru the area. We had a reservation and found the place with little difficulty. Some parking places are to be had at the front of the hotel. Entering the lobby my first thought was "Fawlty Towers". There were several people at the desk but it took them a bit to find our reservation on the ancient looking computer. Check-in accomplished we took the tiny elevator, hidden in a back corner of the office, up to our room. The room was clean but small. Bath was clean but the shower was miniscule. I bumped my elbows on the plastic door while washing. Near the sink was a shelf with a box of tissues. This is the first time in my life that I have seen ONE PLY tissues. Grab a handfull if blowing nose. Soap dispensers are squeeze bottles fixed to the wall. Think milking a cow. Towels, while clean are really threadbare and see thru thin. Our room was facing the street but was surprisingly quiet. On to dinner. There was a buffet setup. Usual selections of fresh vegies for a salad and choice of dressing, croutons, bread and rolls. There was also a cauldron of soup. On a separate table were three large serving containers with meat choices - pork, beef and fowl as well as boiled potatoes and soggy rice. The meat was way over cooked and dry. One is better served hitting the salad bar several times. The main dining room is two steps higher than the serving area making it difficult for handicapped people. Looking at the clientele in the dining room it looks like it is mostly single buisness travellers in for a few nights. Breakfast the next morning was a pleasant surprise. The have a very well stocked buffet with raw vegies, cheeses, yoghurt, fresh bread and very good rolls. Huge selection of jams and jellies. Several different types of fish were also available including smoked salmon, matjes filets and herring. There was a warming dish with some nasty dry scrambled eggs, six small sausages and several pieces of burned bacon. Stick to the buffet for a lovely breakfast. It was survivable for one night but would not recommend for a longer stay. Clearly suited to a captive audience.

“Comfortable”

Staff are very friendly but rooms are quite cramped. Not much of space on the top floor. Maybe rooms in other floors are better. Breakfast spread is average, not much of a choice. Evening dinner choices are limited, but you customize your food.

Hotel with main building and guest house opposite the street. Friendly and warm welcome. The rooms are a little outdated but very clean. Comfortable bed. No lift in the guest house therefore only 3 stars. The hotel has a restaurant; they serve a buffet with mainly fish. You have a huge choice of different prepared cold and warm fish. The dishes are very tasty; the restaurant deserves a 4 star rating.
