"Check in was easy and fast. The desk staff were very nice and helpful. There was a bad smell in the main hallway down to the room elevators, I’m not sure what caused that but it was pretty bad. Our room was pretty clean. The breakfast is expensive but there’s quite a selection. There needs to be more than just one coffee machine, however. The parking garage is a nightmare! Tiny spaces, tight corners, and you had to go through two doors to get to the elevator. Those doors should be changed to automatic opening doors."

"Great location, next to train station. Simple amenities, no extra. But good enough for daily sleep and use. No air-con, but I came at month when it's not hot, so natural air is good enough. Got free coffee and tea."

Hotel Kiel by Golden Tulip

Hotel Kiel by Golden Tulip

10/10 Excellent
"The building is impressive with its great lobby (of perhaps faded art deco glamour) of another era. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is not modern and fancy, but clean and functional. Room was very comfortable. Kiel is spread out and the hotel is a bit far to walk with luggage, as I discovered, but a straight shot to train station and downtown. The terrace in front of lobby was a nice place to sit to enjoy the breezes and chill (it's Kiel!), at least until smokers claim it as their own. The breakfast area is very nice and the breakfast excellent: I highly recommend the breakfast, on its merits, but especially since there are few restaurants nearby."
