Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Hotel has a great location in the city center of Kiel. The bar downstairs provides sufficient food and beverage options. We had a disturbance on our second night but this was in the end properly handled by the staff of the hotel. Having the small kitchen gives a lot of flexibility for the guests

    Compact but enough space for two. Very clean with a welcome bottle of wine made it a very comfortable overnight stop. Close proximity to the war grave cemetery (the reason we were there). Safe and secure parking. Excellent stay and would recommend to anyone.
