Atmosphere, hotel building with history and style. Very nice personnel. Big room with nicely renovated bathroom. Clean and quiet.
Excellent Hotel in period residence. Spacious room and great breakfast. Close to the railway station, and the Molli runs right past.
Fabulous location to enjoy the Molli steam train which runs close past the hotel’s front entrance! The hotel building is grand and welcoming with a superb breakfast available. The centre of Bad Doberan is interesting walking distance to many food choices for dinner. Best of all, the staff at the hotel are super friendly. We will stay longer next time.
The hotel is very nice. The personnel is very helpful and kind. The hotel is located in a centric area close to restaurants and attractions.
It would be nice to have ventilation in the bathroom.
Fantastic hotel, comfortable quiet room, fab breakfast , parking
No staff on duty in the evening, so no atmosphere
BREAKFAST AND LOCATION GOOD,EVERYTHING ELSE WAS AWFUL.
ON ARRIVAL HOTEL WAS DESERTED AND LOCKED UP! AFTER PHONE CALLA STAFF MEMBER DROVE TO HOTEL TO OPEN THE BUILDING,HE THEN LEFT US-NO GUESTS AND NO STAFF UNTIL NEXT DAY-WEIRD!
The service was implacable, especially the nice woman from the orangerie room. The room was really bad
The curtain in the bathroom was too narrow, you could see into the bathroom no matter how much you tried to cover.
The location is just perfect with the steam-hauled trains of the 'Molli' passing the front of this hotel which was once owned by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I (Royal conncections!). It is very close to the town's charming facilities and historic attractions, not least of which is the enormous brick-built 13th century Cistercian Münster which is constructed on a truly monumental scale and seems totally out of scale to the town. The Hotel is clean, comfortable, convenient while delightful staff and a fantastic breakfast all helped make this a lovely and enjoyable stay in the attractive and historic town of Bad Doberan. Car parking is in its private car park at the back of the hotel and the hotel issues a ticket to put in the windscreen - I suspect they have had trouble with non-residents taking up space. We drive an EV and fortunately were able to plug the car in to a socket in the bedroom by passing the cable through the window as our room was in the rear building, on the ground floor next to the car park. Incidentally, it is well worth taking a trip on the train of the Mecklenburgische Bäderbahn (or Molli) which uniquely runs through the main street of Bad Doberan before heading over the countryside to Kühlungsborn, a pleasant and popular seaside resort. It's truly astonishing to see a 14-coach steam-hauled train on the 900mm-gauge line gingerly threading its way through the street cafes, pedestrians, bikes and cars - warning bell dinging and whistle warning those who are slow to get out of the way.
We checked in at about 4.45 - to then discover that reception isn't manned from 5pm - indeed, that evening we saw a family finding the front door locked at about 6pm. If you are going to be late arriving make sure you call the hotel to let them know!! Otherwise it is pretty hard to fault. The restaurant - which is only open for breakfast - is very well appointed, bright, airy and comfortable. It's a shame that the hotel doesn't currently offer dinner as well - a member of staff who spoke English with a strong Australian accent (although German, she spent many years in Australia!) commented that they have been struggling since Covid to get staff.
Good location in town, beautiful building, nice old fashioned furniture in rooms, clean, large room, Good parking behind the hotel, nice outside seating area, nice size bathroom, nice breakfast.
No coffee machine in rooms, does not feel cozy in rooms, no English TV channels, not much to do in the hotel.
Great location, excellent breakfast buffet, fridge in the room was a nice surprise
Excellent breakfast and staff. Room was clean and quiet. Liticia was great!
Did not appreciate the 5 euro fee to park car in lot as there is plenty of room for all the cars there. Did not like the fact that the front door was locked upon my arrival and I had to figure out how to gain entry to my room as no staff was on site. Also, the house cleaning staff did not replace my tissue dispenser for 2 days but Liticia corrected it. An elevator to 2nd floor would be helpful. There were no television channels in English. There were not enough electrical sockets to plug my computer into at the desk since all were used by other electrical items.
Clean and comfortable. Good breakfast. Free parking and wifi.
No airconditioning. It was rather hot in the room. The fan and windows that could be properly opened helped though. Breakfast time could have started a bit earlier than 7:30 on a weekday.
Private parking, nice and comfort rooms, cleanliness
No issues.
The property is beautiful and very welcoming. we loved our spacious guest room with it’s very well appointed and gorgeous bathroom. The breakfast room and breakfast was a treat. The staff was very helpful. The English speaking lady at the desk, was very accommodating and pleasant to visit with. We will be back.
I cannot think of anything we didn’t like. We were told Pre-Covid, there was a very nice restaurant where the breakfasts are. We hope the restaurant returns.
quiet and central
no coffee/tea facilities in the room bar not open.
