The Avalon Hotel - Altstadt Schwerin

This is indeed very old classic hotel, which makes it an interesting place to stay. Despite the age of the building, the owners have thoroughly refurbished it so it doesn't look shabby at all. On the contrary, rooms give off the impression of a relatively modern hotel. Obviously the owners are really making an effort to keep the place attractive not only by price.1. Good location, easily accessible by foot from the Central Railway/Bus station and city centre.2. Reasonable price3. Enough light in the room.4. Very clean.5. Free tea, coffee and biscuits. 6. There's a nice small inner yard.7. The charm.

1. My room, though clean and cozy, smelt of old carpet. 2. The room is in the basement, so my window was level with the pavement, right next to the bins. That can hardly add any comfort.3. Just one towel

Friendly service, the place is very clean, we could store our bags during the day, the location is great - very close to the station.

Although the place is beautiful, it's not very sound proof and other guests walking or talking in their rooms can be heard very loudly.

Nice location

Firstly, our room was in the basement, which is not comfortable and lacks light. Even though there was a humidifier, the air wasn't good. The beds are old and squeaky.

I was very happy with my stay at the Avalon and would certainly stay there again were I return to Schwerin, a most attractive, interesting and classy city. My room in the basement was on the garden side of the hotel, so was quiet. There was no en suite bathroom, but there were two spacious bathrooms in the corridor, and I never had to queue to use them. My bed was comfortable and wi-fi connectivity was excellent. There was adequate space for hanging and storage. I did not partake of the buffet breakfast, but it looked very appetising. Coffee, tea and water are available free of charge in the breakfast room. If you fancy a take away, there is a branch of Domino's right opposite the hotel. The main railway station is only a short distance from the hotel (less than ten minutes on foot), and there are good cafes and restaurants near it. To save you walking to the fairytale Schloss, the main sight in town (which will take around 30 minutes), you can catch the No. 10 'bus from round the corner from the hotel. It will deposit you outside the castle. I also recommend walking round the small lake, the Pfaffenteich, a stone's throw from the hotel. I had limited interaction with the hotel staff, but whenever I did, they were pleasant and helpful. All in all, a great stay, and good value for money.

The only thing I could have wished for was a desk and hard chair in the room, which would have made using my laptop more comfortable.

Hotel manager was suuuuuper helpful and friendly.

WLAN didn't work. Even though the bathroom was clean, it smelled like urine.

Good stay for a long weekend trip (2-3 nights). The location is walking distance from the city center and the castle, 15 min walk to the grocery store (Edeka). Overall good impression and service. Rooms are clean and breakfast is very nice (for additional price).

Great small hotel close to the main station and the city centre, flexible and kind staff. Nice neat common rooms, clean bathroom and room.

Everything was okay, as expected. Anser came quickly to my question. The hotel is in a nice old building in a very good condition. The room was perfect for my stay, I was there only in the evenings. Very good buffet breakfast.

No complaints. Just some guest probably didn't really get or understood the message about the key lock and code, they rang the bell several times in the evining and even early morning.

Located near the centre and a lake. Very clean. Spacious room and very big double bed.

I chose the cheapest room with a common bathroom. It was located in semi-basement. There's a building site close to the hotel. The receptionist could be more helpful.

Nicely decorated, room with high ceilings.Beautiful old buildingGreat location

No on site parkingBreakfast quite pricey at 15 euro per person including our 12 and 7 year old.

The location and the charm of the building, a good price.

This hotel is located well if travelling to Schwerin by train. A simple walk away from the train station. Out of the station turn left to end of the road then it’s there on the right. Then it’s a pleasant walk beside one of the cities lakes to reach the city centre and old town with the castle just beyond that.

The initial welcome we got. We had called before arriving to ask if we could drop our luggage off. The gentleman had no problem with that s long as we got there before lunch break. We did but was greeted by a lady who was like a bear with a sore head.

The stay was very easy and with fresh facilities. Just what we were looking for. Big nice room that fitted our entire family. And a HUGE plus for the staff that was incredibly nice to us and helped us with a (not hotel related) problem we had with swiftness and such nice manners. A big thank you for that!!

Disappointing

The bedding was torn, and some hairs were stuck to it as if they hadn't been changed. Also, the room had a strange smell. But I couldn't find anyone at the reception; it was already past 7 p.m.The doors in each room are not soundproof when closing and opening, and when using the key, you can hear noises from other rooms.

It s located in a beautiful building , nice old vibes, high ceilings, wooden floors. Felt right at home. Very good breakfast and .good coffee..Watch out for the clocks around you in the hotel, they running there own time!:)

Breakfast, location (calm neighbourhood next to a lake, near the main train station and cca 15 min walk from the town centre), great communication with the Hotel team. Overall a good value for your money!

No problems with check inVery good mattressGood locationGood facilitiesSpacious room

Loud sounds every 15 mins coming either from the heating or from the outside

For all hotel residents, there is an opportunity to make tea at the reception desk. The bed was clean the bathroom had hot water

We lived in the basement of the hotel, there was not much light and comfort

We didn’t get the door code by email in time as we booked very short notice. However, upon calling the host we got provided with all necessary information immediately in order to check ourselves in. Nice place, clean, central location, everything you need for a short stay. We were allowed to leave our bags free of charge for a few hours on the morning of departure. Thank you!

Location is great (5 minute walk from the train station), clean room, nice breakfast

The rooms are quite old and have a strange smell (although clean).
