Hotel-Restaurant Holsteiner Hof

This time we were in the basement, with a view out onto a grassy bank. It was a beautifully quiet room and modern and well-decorated with a seaside theme. We had everything we needed. It was room 23 and I would stay in it again. The staff are exceptional. They were friendly, helpful, and obliging. Breakfast was good. The coffee is only OK, but there is lots of choice for the buffet.

We had one double and one single room. Both had balconies - the single room had access to the balcony through the bathroom. The hotel was very comfortable and clean, although parts were showing their age a bit, mainly the balcony. The double room was comfortably large, the bed was new and firm, the pillows were downy. The large windows looked onto the deserted railway line and lots of trees. It was very pleasant. The bathroom was huge, with twin basins, and an effective shower. The hotel is quiet, except for road noise. The road isn't hugely busy, but cars do pass regularly and the road surface makes them noisy. We had the windows open so I'm guessing it would have been a lot quieter with them closed. The hotel staff are lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was good: mostly cereal, bread, fruit, and croissants, with a choice of scrambled or boiled eggs, and very good coffee. Tea was available but the coffee was better. It takes just over five minutes to walk to the main shopping area with a large supermarket and many cafés as well as other shops. We felt very comfortable and at home and next time we need a hotel in this area, we will be staying here.
