Hotel berhampiran Kiel Holtenau Airport, Kiel

From start to finish the stay for us here was really poor. Where do we even start? So for €187 a night you’d expect some high quality and at minimum friendly receptionists, I’m not sure I even saw them smile in the 2 weeks I stayed here. Also you wouldn’t expect to walk into a €187 a night hotel and be greeted by a strong waft of cigarette smoke. When arriving in the room all seemed well, the doors were a little difficult to open but besides that couldn’t fault the rooms. We visited the swimming pool downstairs which had no water in and remained without water throughout our stay. Next was the sauna which had signs on the door which said about it being out of order. What about the games room, well there was a ping pong table which at reception you could get hold of the bats and balls but the fusbol table and dart board were clearly there for decoration purposes as there was no ball/darts for them. The breakfast in the morning was a continental style buffet but we were told off for going up and getting second helpings. The bar was also another decorative item as that too was never open. Then we move onto the pool table room, the strongest stench of smoke in the hotel with fag ends left all around the room. The table was the worst quality I’ve ever come across, most the time the pockets didn’t work but when they did balls would get stuck under the table frequently when they were potted, sticks were bent, table was on the piss with a hill at one end of the table. Not to mention myself and a friend were playing a game of pool in their on a couple of occasions when the receptionist would come in and light one up! We then immediately left the room. For €187 a night you really would expect better. Towards the end of our stay late at night the toilet door was jammed and we struggled to open it, with abit of force it opened but slightly damaged around the lock area. I mentioned it to the receptionist the next day and she came up and had a look and said ‘I don’t know what to say but don’t worry about it you seem to have been unlucky’. I asked if there was anything she wanted us to do and she once again said ‘don’t worry about it’ so I didn’t until a couple days later I received an email stating a new door would cost me €250 and that no note was left regarding the door or even an acknowledgement that the receptionist had been informed and even came to our room. Personally all in all I wasn’t at all pleased with my stay here and will not be staying here again in the future

Für das kleine Portemonnaie ist das Hotel voll zu empfehlen. Die Ausstattung ist ungewöhnlich, man schläft „quasi“ in den Räumlichkeiten eines ehemaligen Büros einer Verwaltung o.ä. Für verwöhnte Babyboomer (😜) nicht zu empfehlen, alle anderen finden Charme attraktiv.

Beim Einchecken baten wir an der Rezeption um ein ruhiges Zimmer , es wurde uns gesagt wir brauchen uns keine Gedanken machen , es wäre nur eine ruhige Nebenstraße , leider hat der gute Mann wohl vergessen dass es sich an Werktagen anders anhört , z.B. wenn die Müllabfuhr genau vor dem Fenster hält ist es eben um 6:45 mit der Urlaubsruhe vorbei. Das Zimmer hatte aber auch sonst so seine Herausforderungen: zugegeben, es war schön groß aber das Bett musste eine Gummimatte unter dem Leintuch haben und auch das andere Bettzeug bestand eher aus Kunstfasern, der Teppich hat eindeutig schon bessere Zeiten gesehen und im Schummerbad war der Toilettensitz defekt , dafür kam aus dem Duschkopf ein angenehmer Wasserstrahl. Das Zimmer ist eben einfach etwas alt und hat eindeutigen Renovierungsstau, Alle Anmerkungen gelten übrigens unter der Maßgabe der 139 Euro die das DZ mit Frühstück gekostet hat. Das Hotel ist maximal ein bed and breakfast Standard und auch hier wäre es kein gutes, sorry, aber der Preis geht garnicht. Ein paar Worte zum Frühstück : es muss auf den Buchungssystem erwähnt werden, oder auf der Homepage , dass das Hotel einen strikten Zeitplan verfolgt in den man sich einzureihen hat,( nach 3 Wochen Skandinavien wussten wir hiermit gleich dass wir wieder in D sind). Das Frühstück selbst macht satt , das war’s dann aber schon. Obstsalat mit hohem Anteil an Dosenfrüchten und das im Hochsommer, hatten wir in den letzten 3 Wochen nirgendwo. Croissant oder Cappuccino gibts natürlich nicht.passt vermutlich nicht zum 60er Jahre Konzept des Hauses. Wie auch immer , kann man so machen, für einen deutlichen anderen Preis.

I spent hours researching hotel options in Kiel (never been, was invited to a birthday party), and wound up in this hotel. No question that the hotel offers the best location for Kiel activities at the best price. They have regular sized rooms and larger rooms facing the waterfront, expect to have each room come with everything you expect in a 4 star hotel. In-house parking available, just about everything worth doing in Kiel can be reached by foot, the ferry boats leave from a pier virtually across the street. If you have the time, definitely take the ferry to Laboe, other side of the harbor bay, where you will find a wide variety of beach front restaurants and shops and the U995 WWII submarine exhibit - above ground, with the price of admission (around $10) you can walk it stern to bow. Anyway, back to the hotel - this is the best option for the money, do not hesitate to book.

I recommend anyone to stay in this hotel, starting from the location which was the best location ever in kiel, few steps to the trains station and to the shoping mall and also very close to the sea port, the staff are very polite and friendly, room is nice also, bath is well, the breakfast was super, and the last thing I would say is very nice view.

Stayed one night coming from southern Germany before going on the ferry to Norway. Room was spacious and clean. A plus for really quiet neighborhood. This could have been a 5-star review. But one thing reduced it to 3 stars (just). The windows are equipped with black out curtains, but over the windows sits a triangular window with no blinds. So at 5 AM no more sleep. Be sure to bring eyeshades. Also no Restaurant or food on site other than breakfast.
