Nordsee-Hotel Arlau-Schleuse

Situated deep in the countryside and yards from the dike. Modern accomodation with excellent food, breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Plenty of parking and space for the bikes in an outhouse. Very helpful staff. Only minus was the sloping rooves, which take some getting used to, particularly if you're tall.

A wonderful traditional German Nordsee retreatReturning for a third time, it was great to see that over the summer the improvements & renovations we have seen on previous stays have now been completed. With a New Sauna being wired in as we stayed.The 'reading room/lounge' complete with its self service coffee machine & drinks is a warm refuge if the weather prevents getting outside.We were not disappointed with the Breakfast! Eat as much and you want & take as long as you like.Dinner in the Restaurant is traditional fare & well served. Wines 7 Beers flow well & are very reasonably priced.To step outside of the hotel & be directly in the wonderful Wattenmeer Unesco biosphere with its incredible sights & sounds of large flocks of Geese & other birds is stunning, any Bird/Nature Lover will be very content here with many local places to observe with trails, hides & walks and two visitors centres in walking distance!If you are ok with Bicycles, this is the area for you with many Kilometres of dedicated Cycle paths. The Hotel has Electric Cycle Hire even!We will return in 2025!

For the ~Hotels rating & Prices, you cannot complain!

Lovely room, beautifully clean. Food was home cooked and very tasty. Well maintained and off the beaten track

Lacked atmosphere, not much by way of facilities

Great location and an excellent restaurant in the hotel.The WLAN was a little flaky and this could be improved.Lovely spot for anyone looking to be near the nature.

My confirmed booking was unknown to the hotel on our arrival and we had to pay extra for the only available room.

Natur Good restaurant. Nice breakfast

View spoiled by old tin roof Noisy machine all night Room 44

We chose this hotel because there are several bird-watching cabins nearby, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel.The hotel is very nice and every room on the ground floor has a little terrace with its own typical "strandkorb". The staff were very friendly and helpful.The hotel's restaurant (Deichgraf) attracts a lot of people from the surrounding area, so table reservation is strongly recommended. We ate there twice and the food was excellent.

The hotel was building a new annex (?) when we stayed there. The workers started at 7am, which might be a problem for some people. Most of the construction work was finished when we left, so this should not be an issue after July 2024.

Clean. Food when it arrived good. Friendly staff

Under staffed. Two hours from sitting down for dinner. Room very poor. 2ft headroom at head of bed. Hit my head on stairs from sitting area to bed space. No ability to make tea/coffee in room

Tranquil location, rooms very pretty, modern, tastefully decorated and super clean.

Great location. The restaurant was very good and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

The room was a bit small

Great location, very helpful staff and a great restaurant

The single room was a bit small

So serene. The view from the room was grassy koog, a meandering stream, and windmills. So many birds we have never seen before. Be sure to walk to the nearby bird blind huts nearby!

We opened the windows in our room, and the air was so fresh. But the rest of the hotel was completely closed, no windows opened (why?), and the restaurant was particularly warm and stuffy.

Awesome breakfast and really nice people.
