Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Hotel has a great location in the city center of Kiel. The bar downstairs provides sufficient food and beverage options. We had a disturbance on our second night but this was in the end properly handled by the staff of the hotel. Having the small kitchen gives a lot of flexibility for the guests

    Compact but enough space for two. Very clean with a welcome bottle of wine made it a very comfortable overnight stop. Close proximity to the war grave cemetery (the reason we were there). Safe and secure parking. Excellent stay and would recommend to anyone.

    New hotel so all is squeaky clean and fresh. Free coffee and tea in reception area. Great location close to city center. Good breakfast with good choice, which during day and evening turns into pub. Only tried fries and drinks so not sure how the food is.

    We loved everything about this hotel! Especially the interior design and the small unique touches, like the free mini-bar (non-alcoholic drinks mind you), free sweets, swing and photobooth in the lobby, great cocktails, pool table, Villeroy and Boch china for breakfast, great breakfast selection, cool fitness and wellness room, late check-out (noon). Very friendly and accommodating staff. Stylish hotel rooms, and very good sound proofing as couldn't hear the traffic or trains. Would recommend for families, business and couples.
