We have stayed at the Hotel Union on 4 or 5 occasions in the last 15 years and have always had a good experience there. The rooms are situated on the ground, first and second floors. Request a room on the ground floor if you have difficulty with stairs as there is no lift. The double rooms have been adequate for us, although there were no tea or coffee-making facilities. They are clean and warm although a little dated. Some have pleasant views over a river to the rear. Our room on the ground floor had a very long wait for any hot water to reach the tap or shower, although I know this had not been a problem in other rooms. The road to the front is very quiet and parking doesn't seem to be a problem. The manager was very pleasant and helpful, as were most of the staff. However, there was not always someone at reception and I noticed that they didn't always respond to a ring of the bell when other customers required something. Breakfast was good, typically continental but also with a hot plate of scrambled egg and diced bacon. I got the impression that this had been left in the hot plate for some while, although it was hot and tasted good. On one morning, the staff was very elusive and it wasn't so easy to get a refill of coffee, for example. I don't know where they went, but they didn't respond to a call or even a ring of the bell at reception. On another day they forgot to put out any hot food, but some fresh scrambled egg was cooked for us on request. Dinner was amazing with quite a good choice. They were all very substantial meals and my only complaint would be that they didn't cater for people who wanted lighter ones or smaller portions. If you'd had a reasonable lunch, you might find it difficult to find something suitable on the menu. The dining room is attractively decorated in pine, but could do with a new carpet, which is worn. There were two attractive and well-stocked bars. The prices have increased over the years, but the quality is very good. I noticed on this visit that there were more events for local people, (parties, brunches, etc) and this is probably necessary when the hotel is fairly empty, out of season. There is free 24 hour wifi, on a renewable basis, but I had problems connecting to it.

“Nice hotel”

The hotel was a bit of a ride from Hamburg airport but not too bad. The welcome was good and in English. The room was a good size and was clean and well appointed. The restaurant was very good and as I was there for three nights that was a good thing. Breakfast was good as well.

“Cozy hotel”

Stayed for inte night on our way to Lübeck. Hotell was cosy but a bit warm at night. Staff was very professional and friendly, rooms were clean and nice. Ate at the hotel and both supper aswell as breakfast was quite alright. Could easily stay here again.

“Not back in a rush”

Welcome was ok. Single rooms are extremely small,even not enough space for a yoga mate. Staff from different department don't seem to work together and complained about each other and about demanding guests. Got the impression they work in the wrong industry. Breakfast serving starts at 6.30 and on… more

Breakfast serving starts at 6.30 and one better makes sure to be there in time. I arrived at 9 and enjoyed a left over breakfast. Hotel is situated central to town center. Offers free parking and WIFI.
