Nice hotel in quiet surroundings. Pool was fairly cold
Our overnight in Kröpke Heide was very pleasant. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The only negative point would be that the hotel is a bit dated and looks like it could do with a refresh.

Place seemed outdated. Pool wasn’t open. Restaurant service and quality was definitely not a 4-star experience. Staff was friendly.
The room was big and clean. Modern furniture and a good bathroom. The only downside of the room are the pillows on the bed. They are to light like the most hotels do. Normally I bring always me own pillow. Only this night I don’t :(. Except the pillows everything was perfect.
Friendly staff. Hotel itself stucked in the 80ies. Room was quiet but furnitures run down. Gym not usable as it was so humide and smelled chlorine due to the next door pool. Steam sauna did not worked. Breakfast was good.

Zimmer war groß, etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber die 4* wert. Wellness Bereich mit Sauna und Pool gut.
Frühstück ist gut mit großer Auswahl. Restaurant wurde nicht in Anspruch genommen. Alles sauber und gepflegt.

TB. Dommage que ma chambre n’est pas été faite entre les 2 nuits. Surtout vu le prix de la chambre.
Ich war an diesem Wochenende das zweite mal in dem Hotel habe unter anderem auch das Schwimmbad und den Fitnessraum genutzt. Wie beim letzten Besuch war das Personal sehr hilfbereit und nett. Das Zimmer hat mir ebenfalls gut gefallen. Diesmal mit Badewanne und separater Toilette, gerade die separate Toilette gefällt mir sehr gut. Habe ich bis jetzt nur einmal in Spanien erlebt. Das Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig und gut. Insgesamt kann ich das Hotel nur empfehlen.
