Upstalsboom Hotel Ostseestrand

Right next to the beach. Close to the centre. Friendly staff. Great room.

Staff were very friendly. We enjoyed a nice welcome drink when we arrived and received a quick tour from one of the staff members which was very helpful. I also enjoyed the pre-stocked (free) minibar and the late breakfast. The spa area was also fine.

There were a few things: - we didn't really understand the point of serving breakfast until 1pm if housekeeping is going to knock on the door at 9am to disturb your lying in. The staff were also really quite loud starting around 9am which, again, is very early on the weekend when you're just trying to relax. - our room (122) was right next to / above some staff entrance and it was often quite noisy and smoky, meaning we couldn't open the windows to cool down our too-warm room. - the walls were paper thin and we heard our neighbor's every cough. - the pool / sauna area is quite small so we had to wait for deck chairs to open up during busy time (late afternoon -- emptied out around 5:30pm).
