Hotel zum Schwan

my room was big and ok , however if you have bought a gutshein.travel voucher on ebay you will have problems booking , 2 weeks before i arrived here i looked on the booking facilty , almost no rooms available,,,,,as i was passiing that way anyhow i thought id give it a try.......the boss told me that he only had a room for 2 nights , anway i accepted this......i did explain to the boss , i speak passable german , that due to my illness i may not be awake in time for breakfast.....he assured me that i would be able to get a snack in the hotel bar in lieu of brakfast.....i got half a small loaf and 2 patties of butter , ni jam , ham or eggs and had to pay for coffee.....the buffet dinner was less than good , price 12 euros,,,,,the rom was very pleasant , as was the evenings piano man..........the staff here are mainly bulgrian and good luck to them , but speaking german or english was hard for them......i had a huge drinks bill,,,,,not sure it was correct bit i couldnt be bothered to wait for the boss who was always somewhere else when you needed him,,,,,and the woman who took my money spoke bery very basic german....its a lovely building

Arrived late at night by car from Hannover Airport. Rented a budget car from Avis. It had a satnav so I was able to follow that all the way to the front door. I called the Hotel before setting off from airport. Previous to that the Hotel had sent me e-mail not to forget to call, as they do not have night staff. On this occasion I had 2 women waiting at the main doors to the Hotel even though it was quite late in the night..11:30 (German time). They had a big welcoming smile, without any reference to the gross inconvenience caused by this British Visitor. It was a Friday night, so they could be with their partners instead of playing nanny to this visitor!

We were travelling through Germany and found this fantastic place with a beautiful hotel. The rooms are really spacious.The breakfast was lovely also. We did not eat in the hotel but the food smelt really good. We went to the Italian a couple of doors down. We called in the pub/restaurant next door and was made to feel really welcome.
