Seetelhotel Hotel Esplanade

Excellent breakfast buffet with large variety of fresh offerings. Inside and outside seating, however situated at a rather busy street. Large rooms, but small bathroom. Many restaurants in walking distance (1 Michelin star restaurant in hotel was never open during our stay) . Typical 'romantic' "Bäder-"architecture style.

4 star 'Esplanade' is run as a satellite hotel from 3 star sister hotel 'Pommerscher Hof' across the street. Reception and Restaurant close down at 9 PM, no bar on site. Parking fee of 12 Euro / day in underground parking of sister hotel. Spa and pool situated in sister hotel. Pool itself needs heavy refurbishment. Poorly ventilated lift. Strange overall smell.

The swimming pool was cold and few tiles were missing.

The spa area

I liked the atmosphere at the hotel and the very friendly staff. Communication was easy and nice. The hotel is in a beautiful location and is in itself special.

The beds were much too soft and I had problems sleeping also because of the wooden floor making noice when people were walking in the floor above us. The Spa-Area was too small and the sauna packed.
