Hotel Stralsund

The lessee sells vouchers that he does not redeem for a hotel that he does not manage. You do not get your money back voluntarily.

We stayed here for one night in mid-May. It was 3 degrees centigrade outside overnight. We had a spacious twin room on the top floor with a microwave and a dishwasher. The room had three radiators, one of which worked for 30 minutes only. The others did not work at all. We told the receptionist who said he would see if he could do anything. He didn’t. The reception closes at 20.00. We sat in woolly hats all evening and I kept my coat on as well. We went to bed in our full day clothes. There is no bar but there is a vending machine. I bought a bottle of beer. There is no bottle opener on the machine. I asked the receptionist if there was a bottle-opener in the room and he replied “There should be”. Like the heat that should be, it wasn’t there. Ironically, I then realised that the hotel had given us two bottles of water that required a bottle opener! At check-out, I explained the problems to a gentleman who said that he was the proprietor and that he and his wife had taken over the hotel only two weeks previously. He was horrified that the receptionist had not told him of the problem the previous evening and waived the parking fee. I hope that the new ownership has a beneficial effect on the hotel.

I was only there one night for my business trip, but it was still one of my worst nights. If you also attach great importance to hygiene and cleanliness, I unfortunately advise against this hotel. I was very disgusted with the bath...be it the spotty flowing in the shower or not to mention the shower head. I was actually showering in a gym instead of there. As soon as you turned on water, there was a funny smell right away! The beds were very uncomfortable, the sheets already had holes and in the bed were hair to be found. Besides, I understood every single word from the next room. Not recommended!
