Hotels near Schleuse in Oldau, Hambuhren

The hotel is our ”Hub” when all colleagues from Germany meet. All travelers are exceptionally satisfied with the hotel, state of affairs, parking at home free, breakfast super and always total (gast) friendly staff. Meetings can be held in Caroline-Mathilde too! The solution to the culinary question has been super-solved - offer, scope and quality of the two meals was for 30 participants and participants were simply grandios. We remain loyal to this house, there is no better house in Celle - even and especially if it is claimed from the north of the city.

This hotel is indeed 5 star, but only ‘in parts’ - it really does not merit more than a 4 star rating. We were allocated a double room in the ‘old part’ of the hotel - which certainly lived up to its description and led to rapid disappointment. Whilst the booking details online did mention that there was no lift to the rooms there, and that the location was not suitable for the handicapped, we still felt that this was understated when we got to our room. We arrived just 30 minutes before ‘check-in’ and our room still wasn’t ready which was fair enough but the (polite and efficient) receptionist took our luggage and arranged for it to be delivered to our room, which was a nice touch. We were invited to take a seat and she would let us know when our room was ready, so we sat outside and ordered a drink which was promptly delivered with some thoughtful cushions for our deck chairs. So far so good. We made our way to our room shortly afterwards - up to join the gods in the attic - using the very steep, winding staircase, a climb that was a physical effort for both of us to make. We were just thankful that our bags had been delivered earlier or we would not have managed the daunting ascent of Mount Fürstenhof. The top floor landing had 4 rooms - 1 in each corner and this is where the words outdated and old fashioned really sprung to mind. Using thrvold fashioned mortice lock key and turning the old doorknob, gained us access to our very dark room. It was mid afternoon and very bright and sunny outside. The decor reminded me of a dated old English country Inn of the 80’s, with its beams, wall paper and equestrian prints hung on the walls. The room did have a modern (static) wall mounted flat screen TV however, with a mini bar underneath - but devoid of the fresh milk that I specifically requested a week or so before. There was a writing desk but no dressing table or mirror to sit in front of. The windows were so old and overpainted that we had to really force them to get them to even remotely function. A coffee machine and a kettle were provided as you might expect, with a couple of small mugs, glasses etc plus a complimentary bottle is still mineral water. The room also had a hideous portable aircon unit in the corner that had its extractor hose channelled up through the ceiling. It was an absolute eyesore and to cap it off - extremely noisy to boot. None of the power sockets had any USB Ports in them, so guests staying in the old part of the hotel will need to bring their own plug adaptors. The old door knobs into the room and bathroom proved occasionally to be awkward and were stiff to use. My wife even got stuck in the bathroom because she couldn’t turn the handle and had to call on me to let her out. The bathroom was very serviceable with lots of toiletries and a hair dryer - but once again, very out of date and disappointingly had cheap, worn, thin towels that were also a bit small for the larger frame. There was no handy inf

Location: Great, just cross one street and you enter the really nice old town of Celle. You are on the eastern end so some walk to the other side but very close by. Parking facilities (in case of the hotel ones being filled) just across the courtyard. Rooms: Small, dark and if you have the bad luck to have on to the Main Street it is either loud or it gets really hot. No much fun at all in staying in one, just be good for sleeping and showering (small as well) and that's it. But sleeping is not only marred by the hot or loud dichotomy but also by the fact that this was the second most worn out mattress I have ever slept in. Terrible. Food. Did not have any but the breakfast buffet looked nice. Staff:Friendly and most efficient Communal areas: Nice and clean but nothing to write home about. Sorry guys being cheap on the beds - which is the most important item in an hotel -does not pay out.

Der Spargel war sehr gut, die Beilagen (Hollandaise, Steak) na ja, Schinken gut. Der Service war leider komplett ungeschult und daher hoffnungslos überfordert - man wäre am liebsten aufgestanden zum Mithelfen. Die - vorbestellten! - Spargelgerichte unserer großen Familiengruppe haben mehr als 1,5 Stunden auf sich warten lassen mit der Begründung, dass drei Suppen zusätzlich zur Vorabbestelling geordert wurden. Ja, Gruppen sind immer schwierig. Aber die dann einfach zu ”ignorieren”, weil die A-la-carte-Gäste ”zwischendurch” mitbedient werden müssen, geht gar nicht. Da muss der Ablauf in der Küche dringend geändert werden - oder einfach keine großen Gruppen annehmen...

My flight was cancelled due to snowKLM booked everyone in to this hotel. On arrival the two ladies on reception were very short and gave off bad vibes, not the best start. The room was huge and well equipped, shame I was not stopping here for pleasure. I checked out at 04.45 waked to the airport to find my 06.00 flight was cancelled until 10.25. Went back to the hotel hoping I could get back in to my room for 3 hours rest, the gentleman on the desk was an absolute star, no issues getting back in to my room, the ladies on reception earlier could do with some customer service training from this guy. Shame I didn’t get his name. Would I stay here again? Probably yes good location for the airport

Hello, I checked into this hotel for 3 nights at the beginning of October! Check-in and the first day were good! On Wednesday evening I extended my stay by another night because my work was more extensive than I had initially thought! I went to reception first and then to my room! After a few minutes in my room I noticed that things were missing from the fridge. Annoying, but not so dramatic, I thought! Because when I was in the bathroom I noticed that my personal hygiene products were missing! I then went to reception and reported the incident! The employee was very uncomfortable, she took the missing items and passed them on accordingly! On Thursday morning a member of reception spoke to me about it and assured me that the matter would be resolved! Then in the evening I got an answer that I had not expected; I had expected an oversight, but they claimed that the room was completely empty, so there was nothing in the bathroom and the bag was packed in the closet! Wrong, I always unpack and only pack again the evening before I leave! And they actually claimed that it was one person's word against another's! On Friday morning I received the same statement again. I was completely speechless and angry at the same time!

The hotel is designed to be cool. But there are details that need attention. The floors of the room were very dusty and dirty. The linens and bathroom were clean and new. The bed was comfortable. The shag carpet in the hall gave me the creeps - if the floor of the room was dirty - what is lurking in the hall carpet? And it was not easy to roll my suitcase through the carpet. There is a weird lightshow in the bathroom and a strange one-way mirror from the room into the shower - why? There is only one somewhat comfortable chair in the room which left the other person sitting on the bed or the chair for the desk. There is no refrigerator in the room. The parking is expensive although we were able to find free street parking on the second night. The windows on the exterior of the building were very dirty - so the view was obscured. There weren't many people staying at the hotel so it was quiet but if it was full I believe that there would have been noise from room to room. Would find somewhere else the next time we are in Hannover.
