Hotel Dieksee - Collection by Ligula

The breakfast is fantastic and the view each morning is remarkable! Quiet hotel and surroundings.

The interior hallway decor is a bit dated, but the staff, view and hotel room make up for this.

The location front of the lake.

The hotel clearly need a full refurbishment, probably very good in the 90's/2000's but totally outdated and the small paint work and new furnitures in the bedroom don't hide the old tiny bathrooms and the overall old impression given by all the common space.The shower area in the spa is covered by mold on the ceiling in every corner and the jacuzzi need to be turned on every few minutes. Water temperature was cold in the pool and barely acceptable in the jacuzzi.The restaurant was not serving a la carte and only an overpriced buffet option was available.The breakfast was really poor in diversity and quality and there were waiting times to be seated.

Lake is beautiful and location t good to explore Lubeck or Kiel via the train station minutes from the hotel

Get to breakfast early as staff slow to replace empty bowls

Nice and relaxing place with amazing views. Breakfast was perfect, the restaurant also has a lot of tasty dishes. There are no activities in February, but it is perfect for relaxing days.The swimming pool is nice, there was some construction near the sauna, but in general everything was great.

Dinner and breakfast in restaurant were both amazing, and beautiful view from room and restaurant

Water in pool and jaccuzzi was very cold, we were looking forward to the pool but it was disappointing. Spa area was just 2 finnish saunas with lower and higher temperature

Location was beautiful. Lake scenery. Nice hotel. Breakfast was good

Our room was really hot. Temperature in the night was at least 30c°. No aircondition. Otherwise everyting ok.

I truly loved my stay at Ligula Dieksee.My room was clean, and quiet,The pool and sauna were super convenient.Breakfast was absolutely, absolutely stellar.The staff were friendly, and in high spirits.Not quite sure what some other reviewers had expected...in my opinion, this was worth double of what I paid...and it would still be fair !!!

The swimming pool was really nice. It was warm enough with plenty space for other guests. Our kids had a great time by the pool.The rooms are also spacious.

1) The bathroom shower is extremely tight. My wife is not a big person and she felt uncomfortable showering there. I had to shower by the swimming pool locker rooms, where I would have enough space for me.2) The bed in our bedroom made some noises everytime we moved. It was a bit annoying.3) I booked two rooms with a lake view, but we were given rooms in the first floor, with trees and part of the roof by the window and balcony level, so we basically paid more for no lake view at all. 4) Rooms are poorly illuminated, as there are no ceiling lights, only two small table lamps.5) But the worst of all was the staff lady that knocked heavily on our door at 11:45 am asking (in a not friendly tone) when we were planning on leaving because check out was at 11am. We were about to leave the room by that time, and I told and showed her that our booking confirmation stated that check out was at 12. In a very rude manner she said that they had already informed booking.com that that information was not correct and that check out was at 11am, as if we were intentionally extending our stay by an hour.

Hotel is located in a very beautiful area with good restaurants around. Indoor swimming pool is not that large but especially for our children it worked well.

Staff is polite but clearly doesn’t have friendliness as a standard. We had a very unfortunate situation with the receptionist due to a misunderstanding and were basically accused of not understanding the usual German behaviour. Even after clarifying it, there was just not an apology.

Nice location, excellent breakfast

Room is simple and old looking. Carpet worn out and unpleasant. Really not worth the price we paid.

Fantastic staff, pool, sauna and nice breakfast

That I can’t stay longer :)

The view was nice over the lake. The wifi was great everywhere, on the entire premises, even sufficient on the balcony of the room. The pool was never busy, always nice. The staff was amazing. Even the ones who barely spoke English, made an effort to try so when they noticed my German was horrible. The food was good quality. The beds were amazing.

In terms of location, for this town, it was good, at the edge of the lake. But for things to do for younger generations, not much around. Only a handful of restaurants, even less terraces for drinks. Although the food quality was great, the prices were high and the portions were small.

Hotel: The reason for our visit was for my wife's birthday and this hotel and location looked perfect for us to celebrate together.Upon arrival at the hotel where greeted very nice by the reception staff, they were really warmly welcoming and helpful with all our questions....Great service...? The hotel itself is very nice, clean and has some great features, and is very picturesque against the lakes backdrop. Currently, some of the rooms are being renovated, which will for sure improve the hotel in the future.Room:We were located on the first floor room no1.The room size was plenty, and the view overlooking the lake with also our own balcony was awesome ? the beds were very comfortable, and the room was very well presented and supper clean.Amenities:There is also a very nice restaurant within the hotel. Note if you would like a table book in advance and ask for a lakeside table view ?The indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, and sauna were superb...Also overlooking the lake... This was a plus plus for us...Also located on the first floor and very close to our room ?‍♀️?Parking:There is parking at the hotel, note, not so many spaces, however there is also parking directly outside the hotel and it was supper cheap, again not so many spaces.Location:Simply perfect ? right overlooking the lake, supper centrally located to the local restaurant 2 min walk and only 5min walk into the town which has a very nice park, shops, restaurants and bars.Tips: Book a lake view room definitely worth the extra few euros.Value for money:Excellent considering it location, amenities and very friendly staff.Would I recommend:Definitely yesWould I go again:We have already booked another stay in August ?This time we have booked two lake view rooms as we plan to surprise my mother and farther ?Thank you for a wonderful stay. See you again soon ?

view was spectacular

- chairs in the room were uncomfortable, needed more pillow- wires sticking out of fire alarm on the ceiling

not a lot

the room was old and not very clean, the swimming pool was so salty i could not swim in it, there were piles of white salt on the bottom!!!

Good service from staff, the receptionist was exeptional, comfortable bed. Always a good place to stay!

Very nice facilities, location, breakfast and staff.

Breakfast and location super. Staff an absolute asset with their friendly and helpful service. Set menu dinner delicious.

Downstairs has been beautifully refreshed. It is probably time to refresh the rooms. But this did not detract from our enjoyment.

the view and nice staff

we payed for a parkingplace but there was none.

Wonderful view from the balcony- overlooking the lake We have been coming to this hotel for many years and it was great to be back after the pandemic - I asked for a specific room in my reservation and we got it - great! Malente is a wonderful placeThe hotel has a quiet, understated atmosphere- it is a little “worn” in places and a little “old fashioned” but I like that, I prefer this to newer fancier hotels

I fail to see the point in the new system that has been introduced where you have to book time in the pool. I can understand the system to avoid crowding during the pandemic- but why is the system still in place? The whole point of staying in a hotel with a pool is the possibility to use the pool whenever you feel like it - a quick swim before breakfast - a dip after a long day - you should not have to schedule these. Why do I have to pay 2,5 euros per day for parking when I can not get a parking spot? I had to pay 3 euros per day in the parking meter- because there was no spot near the hotel - and then 2,5 euros on top of this on my bill - in spite of all the troubles to find a spot - this is turning into a major irritation. The hotel should make sure that the guests had a spot - then I would be happy to pay (surely the fee is payment for this service? What else?)
