I found the hotel to be in a superb location, right by the beach and within walking distance of great restaurants. While the rooms looked a bit dated with a shabby sofa and stained carpet, the early 90s decor gave a nostalgic feel. The staff was friendly and the spa was top-notch. However, it seemed like the property could benefit from some updates. The price was reasonable considering the amenities offered.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, right by the beach and within walking distance from great dining options. The rooms had a convenient view of the street and the underground garage entrance, perfect for those needing lift access and avoiding bathtubs in the summer. The service was friendly and helpful, although some staff seemed affected by recent management changes. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, especially for gluten-free guests. However, the facilities were not as modern as expected.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms are clean, comfortable, and come with a lovely hand-written card from the Hotel team. The view over the forest and part of the town from the high floor was breathtaking. The service is top-notch, with a wonderful and experienced team. The location couldn't be better in Binz, close to the dog beach and within walking distance from great restaurants. The dining experience was superb until 11:30 am, and the facilities were outstanding.

Staying at the hotel really felt like being on top of the world with a room on a high floor offering a stunning sea view. The room managed to fit two extra beds for the children, although the need for renovation was evident in the very dated design and worn-out sofa. Nonetheless, the highlight was definitely the water view balcony, which was simply great.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are equipped with balconies facing either the ocean or forest but show signs of needing renovation and outdated design. The service is friendly but not up to par with a supposed 5-star status. The location shines as the hotel is right at the sea, offering a great breakfast, but some room design flaws are evident. Dining experiences range from outstanding to mediocre. Overall, a comfortable stay with room for improvement.

The dining experience was good with a variety of food and drink options. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though spacious, looked quite dated with a shabby sofa, stained carpet, and decor reminiscent of the early 90s. Unfortunately, the lack of direct sea views due to a nearby building was a downside. However, the room size was impressive, with 80 m² split into two separate rooms, each with its own bathroom and balcony, albeit overlooking the street and the entrance of the underground garage.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, nestled right at the end of the Seepromenade, offering a serene view of the forest from the back of the hotel. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, but the dated design and worn-out sofa could use a refresh. The friendly service across the hotel truly made my stay memorable, although some modern touches wouldn't hurt. The dining options were of reasonable quality, lacking the expected variety of German bread, but the assorted fruits were a refreshing touch. The facilities were excellent, catering to all my needs with ease.
