Top hotels in Schnelsen
Hotel Fürst Bismarck
The stay was affordable and the room clean; it was exactly what you’d expect for the price. The biggest drawback was the area rather than the hotel itself - there were a lot of drug addicts milling about in the street after dark, which made me nervous.

Excellent hotel for the price. The only problem is you need to pay extra if you want your room cleaned every day.
