"The staff is amazing. Is not so close from
the city but there is public transportation (just check the times), the mall is close by and a lot of shops there. "
"Major shower problem on day 1. Reported it straightaway: they kept saying it was solved but it wasn't. Only on the last night (stayed 4 nights!) did they say it was probably a building problem. Offered to let us have a shower in another room. Complaint and request for a discount resulted in a measly 20 Euros discount per night. V poor service an response: shame as it is a nice hotel."
"This is a lovely little family run hotel...out in the neighborhood. While it's only 15-min by bus from 'New Town' Schwerin (Castle 'n Marketplace) you feel like you're just in your family's neighborhood. Very country with grass 'n trees all around. Unexpectedly quaint, for sure!"
