Hotels near Alter Schwede, Wismar

Our stay has exceeded all our expectations, starting with the very friendly, very helpful staff at the reception, in service, even in the neighbouring spa, and sauna area. The equipment was proper, everything was very clean and maintained. We had a nice time, and we're looking forward to the next time. This resort hotel is definitely worth a recommendation.

Wij hadden hier een kamer voor 1 nacht geboekt op doorreis naar Zweden. De kamer was klein, ruimte naast het bed was er niet. De kamer en de badkamer was schoon net als de handdoeken en het beddengoed. Het ontbijt was goed verzorgd zonder dat het heel erg uitgebreid was. Alles was echter aanwezig en er was ruime keuze. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk. De kamer was voor een overnachting op doorreis prima. Voor een aantal nachten is de kamer te klein.

To be honest: My wife was looking for reasonably comfortable but affordable accommodation in Wismar for the second weekend in June in order to attend the harbor festival. My personal conditions were: with air conditioning and parking. The accommodation was affordable. But immediately after arriving, it turned out that the air conditioning wasn't working. When I asked one of the hard-working and friendly service staff, she said: ”Unfortunately, it's currently out of order. But the technicians are on the ball!” I didn't see a ball or a technician during our entire stay. The whole thing was just a ruse. When I tried to switch the system on, it made noises that suggested that the thing hadn't been working for ages. On the second day, we couldn't get out of the parking lot because the card was wrongly programmed, and on the day we left, we couldn't get into our room to vacate it for the same reason. All extra trips because the staff member didn't care when coding the cards. When we left, they wanted to charge us a 6.00 Euro energy surcharge, but the friendly man at reception dropped the charge after we protested about the air conditioning. Breakfast was OK, although not opulent. There is a pool, although it is small and not too warm. There are also saunas in the form of wooden barrels on the roof. In short: If I advertise my hotel with air conditioning that doesn't work, that borders on fraud. If I demand an energy surcharge that was never mentioned before, the terms of the contract are not being met and yes, that too borders on fraud. And if I, as a guest, want to be woken up by birdsong, humming, conflict-laden dialogues between ”second chance partners”, the silly stories of e-bikers, the starting of the departing coach, the rolling of suitcases or the slamming of car doors (because we had to sleep with the French doors open because the air conditioning was turned off), I can also go camping... Nevertheless, I cannot agree with the previous reviews regarding the overall condition of the hotel and the rooms. Yes, it is obviously all from the nineties, but our room and bathroom were impeccably clean! Recommendation for e-bikers who are not sensitive to heat!

We stayed here only for a night, but from what we saw, we wished we had had the possibility to experience this place for a longer period. This is definitely a place where you come to spend a longer holiday. This is a bigger complex with various room/house types. We had a studio, which consisted of a bedroom with a dining area, a kitchenette, a bathroom with a bath tub, a closet and a small patio. Only downside we experienced was the smell on paint in the room when we arrived. There were also scaffolds right outside the window of our room. I believe people mainly come here by car, and there were loads of parking places and they even have spot where you can wash your windshield! This came handy since our windshield was filled with dead bugs. The place is also surrounded by forest and by the water, so there are lots of mosquitoes in the evenings during summer time at least. There’s lots to explore around the premises. We enjoyed watching the different animals (donkeys, alpacas, goats, rooster & hens). The location by the water is beautiful and there was a swan swimming close to the shore line. You can also book sauna by the water if you want or take a morning swim in their pool. There’s a huge lawn where you can sit in a shaded chair or sunbath. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can even rent a boat. There’s also a nice playground for kids there. Since our visit was very short as we were passing by, we didn’t have hotel breakfast.
