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.

Nice and clean

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.

Et fantastisk sted som vi har besøgt to gange ifm. vores sommerferie. Vi bliver mødt af et stort smil og imødekommenhed fra personalet, værelserne er gode og store - gode senge til vores smag! Der er altid pænt og rent, deres sommerbuffet er udemærket og morgenmaden er helt fantastisk. Et sted vi vil gemme og bruge som samlingspunkt om vores kommende ferier sydpå.

Det her hotel har med sikkerhed været toppen dengang det blev bygget, men det lader til, at der ikke er sket det store med hotellet de sidst 40-50 år. Personalet var omvendt meget venlige og hjælpsomme.
