Tolles Hotel mit Verbesserungspotential

Schoenes Hotel, aber ich haette mir gewuenscht, dass es gluten freies Brot gibt und wenn nicht dann rechtzeitig Bescheid gesagt wird. Ich hatte extra nachgefragt. Ich bekam die Nachricht, als wir schon unterwegs waren. 12 Euro fuers Parken finde ich zuviel und die Miniflaschen mit Duschgel und Shampoo sind nicht mehr zeitgerecht. Abfall vermeiden mit Wand montierten Flaschen, finde ich deutlich besser. Davon abgesehen: schoenes Zimmer, tolle Lage, gutes Fruehstueck und auch eine sehr schoene Anlage.

For the money, would have stayed elsewhere.

It appeared that the hotel was on or had views of the beach. However, even though it was across the street and one row back, there were no views of the beach, and the walk was down the street and through a path. There was no early check in. The breakfast was very good, included in the price as it should have been. However, there were not enough tables outside...and many guest lingered at the outside tables forcing other guests to go inside which was very stuffy and hot.

Sehr schöne ruhige und dennoch zentrale Lage am Timmendorfer Strand. Die Einrichtung ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte so langsam eine Renovierung gebrauchen. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. In unserem Kurzurlaub haben wir uns wohlgefühlt.
