Pros:

Het hotel ligt perfect voor het bezoeken van de stad Lubeck. Het ontbijt was ruim voorzien.

Cons:

Het was jammer dat om personele redenen 's avonds geen bar / restaurant open was.
Dat viel ons vooral tegen na 8uur autorit.

Schönes Hotel aber leider Zimmer vorm Bahnhof erwischt
Pros:

-schönes sauberes Zimmer
-Klimaanlage
-bequeme Betten
-leckeres Frühstück
-zentral gelegen

Cons:

Die Nacht war eine Katastrophe: die Züge vor unserem Fenster waren extrem laut. Jede Bahnhofsdurchsage konnte man durch das geschlossene Fenster hören. Über die Güterzüge muss man dann wohl nichts sagen.

Cons:

14:45 angekommen und musste mir sagen lassen dass Check-in um 15:00 Uhr ist . Kein ich schau mal ob das Zimmer schon fertig ist.. Beim Frühstücksbuffet musste man Schlange stehen wenn man einen Kaffee wollte. Zu wenig Automaten für den Andrang

A modern hotel with an excellent breakfast.
Pros:

The room and the hotel overall was very clean and well kept. The breakfast was of excellent quality and the Lübeck hbf very easy to reach in just a few minutes. The family room accomodated our family of four well. Overall a very enjoyable experience. I definately can recommend the hotel to anyone.

Cons:

None come to mind.
