Schwerin is not that large of a city and I was able to walk from the Main Train Station to the Hotel in (20) minutes. It is an older building with older interior but, at the same time, it is well maintained, clean, organized, and has a friendly staff. There are three floors which can be accessed by the stairway or an elevator. The rooms are a bit small but not uncomfortable and sufficient for two people. All the common hotel accessories are provided: a landline telephone, television, free wi-fi, outlets, hair dryer, tissue paper, bath and hand towels, body & hair soap dispenser in the shower. Housecleaning stops by each day to tidy up. The breakfast room is fun with the elephant head decorations all around the room, plenty of seating and the food selection is varied: cold cereal, juices, coffee, tea, Brötchen with cheeses and Marmelade. I was very pleased with my interactions with the front desk and the staff at breakfast time. Very friendly.

It will sound picky but the shower is a bit cumbersome to get in and out of due to the swinging shower door design. My room was located on the back side which made it quiet from any possible noise on the Main Street but the view was only of the roofs of neighboring building. Outside of these small details, I was happy with my stay.

The hotel is in a fantastic distance of the castle within easy walking distance. While the decor is a little dated, it still has an air of elegance to it which made the whole experience feel very fancy. Our room included a whirlpool bath, which was absolutely wonderful after a long day walking around Schwerin.

The few things that were not quite up to our expectations were the fact you only got a single small pillow each, which made the stay very uncomfortable. In addition, its typical for there to be a kettle in the room so you can make yourself tea, coffee etc in the morning or during your stay, and this would have been an additional fee, which was quite saddening.

The room was clean and well-furnished. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. The hotel was very convenient to the castle and was about an 8-minute walk from the old-town part of Schwerin. While there is not much around the hotel itself, it is very convenient to walk or take a very short (1 stop!) tram ride to the main city center. I know other people have mentioned the noise of the trams and buses was too loud for them, but I live in a city and am used to the noise of passing vehicles, so it did not bother me at all, even with the windows open at night. The staff was extremely friendly! I can definitely recommend it. The Elefantsaal - where breakfast was served - is amazing. It was a special honor to be able to eat every morning in that room.

The only thing would be the day I wanted to check out, it took a few minutes for me to find the person for the reception area. But this was only very minor. Just give yourself a few extra minutes to check out and don't wait until the last minute.

Excellent location. Decided to get off the train at Schwerin Mitte instead of the main station, which was a good choice. We were given a room on the top floor. Nice size bed, room was nice and bright and a good size bathroom. Breakfast was included in the price, which was a bonus. Hotel within walking distant of all sightseeing locations I.e Castle and grounds, boat trip area and big bus for a tour of the area.

- Good location (close to transport stations, the castle, the city center and old city: everything within walking distance) - Beauty of the interior of the hotel (beautifully preserved old building full of history) - Booking offer (worthy price for 3 nights in superior double room and included breakfast) - Simple but nice breakfast in beautiful room - Calm hotel - Friendly staff - Very clean - Bathroom totally renovated

- Noise of the tram (even in bedroom not facing the street) - No mini fridge or kettle inside the bedroom

Nice gem in the center of Schwerin. The rooms are nice and clean, and it looked like they had just been renovated. Breakfast is definitely an experience in their great hall. This is a nice hotel to start your city excursions. We enjoyed the stay and can recommend this hotel.

Our room was large with a lovely seating area. It was also quite cool despite the heat outside. The food was excellent both evening meal and breakfast. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. Would highly recommend.

We were surprised to have to go out of the hotel and along the street to another door to access our room. Having said that keys were provided and we found it easier to walk down the side of the building into the back garden. It was a little noisy due to trams and people enjoying the garden.

The staff was very nice. They especially made us a vegan plate, because we asked for vegan breakfast. The breakfast room ist stunning. The location is wonderful, just 3 min from the lake with view to the castle.

The bathroom was not very modern or big. It was ok, though.

Good location. Secure parking. Good buffet breakfast. Well equipped comfortable room. Very peaceful location.

There was nothing we did not like.

The room was large and comfortable, breakfast superb

The room was under the roof and I didn't find out how to open the roof windows. The other windows are very small and since there was no air conditioning, it got quite hot in the room. It was not clear to me when booking that the tram is going directly under my windows, so it got quite loud. Internet was not working.
