  : The staff was very nice. They especially made us a vegan plate, because we asked for vegan breakfast. The breakfast room ist stunning. The location is wonderful, just 3 min from the lake with view to the castle.
  : The bathroom was not very modern or big. It was ok, though.

  : The room was clean and well-furnished. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. The hotel was very convenient to the castle and was about an 8-minute walk from the old-town part of Schwerin. While there is not much around the hotel itself, it is very convenient to walk or take a very short (1 stop!) tram ride to the main city center. I know other people have mentioned the noise of the trams and buses was too loud for them, but I live in a city and am used to the noise of passing vehicles, so it did not bother me at all, even with the windows open at night. The staff was extremely friendly! I can definitely recommend it. The Elefantsaal - where breakfast was served - is amazing. It was a special honor to be able to eat every morning in that room.
  : The only thing would be the day I wanted to check out, it took a few minutes for me to find the person for the reception area. But this was only very minor. Just give yourself a few extra minutes to check out and don't wait until the last minute.

  : Schwerin is not that large of a city and I was able to walk from the Main Train Station to the Hotel in (20) minutes. It is an older building with older interior but, at the same time, it is well maintained, clean, organized, and has a friendly staff. There are three floors which can be accessed by the stairway or an elevator. The rooms are a bit small but not uncomfortable and sufficient for two people. All the common hotel accessories are provided: a landline telephone, television, free wi-fi, outlets, hair dryer, tissue paper, bath and hand towels, body & hair soap dispenser in the shower. Housecleaning stops by each day to tidy up. The breakfast room is fun with the elephant head decorations all around the room, plenty of seating and the food selection is varied: cold cereal, juices, coffee, tea, Brtchen with cheeses and Marmelade. I was very pleased with my interactions with the front desk and the staff at breakfast time. Very friendly.
  : It will sound picky but the shower is a bit cumbersome to get in and out of due to the swinging shower door design. My room was located on the back side which made it quiet from any possible noise on the Main Street but the view was only of the roofs of neighboring building. Outside of these small details, I was happy with my stay.

  : I really liked the hystory of the place.
  : New pillows would be great and if you can actually take the shower head off to shower properly.
