Hotel Am Schloss

Northern Germany


This basic but comfortable pension has 25 modern rooms spread across seven floors, served by a lift. It is located in an old commercial bakery and warehouse. Some rooms have lovely wooden beams; all have questionable taste in curtains and upholstery. Take tram 3, 5, 7 or 19 from the train station to Schlossblick.
