Reviews
Breakfast is fantastic, especially the daily selection of fresh bread rolls 😀
Everyone in the service was exceptionally friendly, and our dog was very welcome.
We will definitely be back!
Living room with snacks and beverages
Breakfast is very good! We liked it a lot and will consider the hotel again on our next Borkum vacation!
With the best will in the world, I can't fault anything. I am already planning my next stay in Borkum and am primarily thinking of this hotel again. Thank you for the great time I was able to spend here.
POIs near hotel
Cafe and Restaurants near hotel
First and last time, unfortunately.
Let me start with good things:
The room is not bad: not large but spacious enough, with a comfortable bed
The receptionist with the beard and the IT man understand customer service
Pool
Now the negative points:
Apart from the staf mentioned above, the staff was unfriendly and at times simply rude. In the restaurant they nicely indicated walking routes due to covid. If you make one wrong step you will be yelled at (I am looking at you short-blonde-haired lady).
The lift is as slow as a snail that just ate a sleeping tablet
Arrival from ferry is 11 am. You would expect that a 4 * hotel is ready for this, but NO, rooms ready at 2 pm. They offer to take hold of your luggage though (in an area accessible to literally anyone on the island)
Breakfast: you ask for a cheese omelette with peppers, you get a cheese omelette without peppers. You sit at the table and see everyone get served coffee, while forgetting my table. In the end have to get up and request it at the bar
Having a drink on the outside terrace: payment by bankcard not possible. You are asked to walk all over the island to find an atm. Unbelievable that cash-payments are so prevalent here.
Room: bathroom looks clean but smells of urine.
Wifi is unstable and does not connect well if you have an iphone
I had clearly expected more from this hotel. Unfortunately cannot recommend. 2 stars for the effort.
