After reading the reviews we decided to book this Hotel for 1 night on our way back from Rugen. We were happy with it up to the moment we were shown our room : a smoking room. The stench was horrible! We could not breathe! We went straight away back to the reception and asked to be given a non smoking room, as per our request at the time of booking. The receptionist (very friendly) said that they did not have any non smoking rooms available, but that we could have a look at another smoking room to see if it was better. It was slightly better and without option, we took it. We left our luggage and went out to visit the city. Later that night, we realised that with closed windows it was impossible to breathe: the room and bed smelled like a man who smoked the whole day long! It seemed to us that the bed sheets had not been changed , from the smell and also from few hairs we found on the bed...It was really disgusting! I can not say anything about the non smoking rooms, but if you hate cigarettes, make sure to have it confirmed at the time of your booking: in written! We were wondering what happened to the great Hotel from the reviews? Was it really just bad luck?

Wow! This family-run hotel really exceeded our expectations. We received a very friendly greeting at the front-desk by one of the proprietors and our experience continued to be outstanding throughout the stay. It is a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) and a short walk to the Altstadt (old town), so very convenient. We spent two nights here and really enjoyed the common areas. They have a reading room, children's play room, and a sitting room where guests can enjoy the honor bar and snack station. The snack area had complimentary cake and then a refrigerator full of beer, wine, and soft drinks and a shelf full of snacks for purchase. Simply take what you want and record what you have taken on a coaster and drop it in the slot. It will be billed to your room at the end of the stay. The offerings were very economical and created a fun and social atmosphere. They also have a candy station and a coffee station for free at all times. The room was clean and comfortable. We slept very well on quality linens. The bathroom had some dead space while the toilet was tight into the shower, but it was fine. The room keys are the traditional kind and must be left at the desk before leaving. Since it was raining during our visit, the hotel provided complimentary umbrellas for guest use, a thoughtful touch. The breakfast is to die for and highly recommended. It contains an extensive buffet of the typical German breakfast foods with a variety of fresh breads and hot items. They also have a waffle station with amazing cherry syrup, which I enjoyed both days. 😊 If you are going to visit Lübeck, this boutique hotel is a great value and a wonderful experience.
