    The location is central and it is easy to walk to the hotel from the train station. It is very close to the beach. The breakfast was good and plentiful. The staff seemed nice, though I didn’t have much interaction with the staff other than at breakfast.

    Room and bathroom were small. I thoughts of them as cozy, but maybe not for everyone.

    Great location, friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, very convenient location if you arrive by train.

    The pillow was quite different to what I am used to. At breakfast I was not told that I can order items not on the display, eg fried eggs.

    It was quite hard to find as the signage is quite inconspicious

    Stairs, because lift has been refused due to "old building/ heritage". And also, Sylt is too expensive for what itoffers in general.

    Good location not far from both train station and beach, friendly and helpful staff.

    The seagulls were a bit noisy but nothing to do about it in a coastal town.

    On the main street close to the beach, pubs and restaurants.

    It was too warm inside (like not normal) and we had birds screaming just outside our window. They woke us up many times bc they live and protect their children on this roof.

    Location and comfy bed. Big room

    Reception staff wasn’t able to communicate properly in any language. When we checked in, the receptionist gave us a beach card per person and said this is for all guests for free entry to the beach. However, at checkout the other receptionist asked us to pay 4€ each for the beach cards. We told her that her colleague told us that these were complimentary but she was unable to communicate with us (We tried to speak both German and English with her). Also, no one checked the beach cards. Please check if any beach card is needed before accepting them from the hotel. Furthermore, our room was really small and it’s not couple friendly. We specifically asked for a double bed, but they gave us the room with twin beds.

    WiFi was a complete disaster. The hotel has dead spots and we could not pick up the WiFi signal in the room. It worked in the hallway and the breakfast area, but it was really annoying that we could not get a signal in the room. We had to get out of the room to make Voip calls. The morning front desk attendant agreed that I can switch rooms after other guest moved out after lunch time. Unfortunately, the afternoon front desk attendant was unwilling or too lazy to switch us around. She instead recommended that we should stay the next time at another hotel.

    Overall the hotel is in a great location within quick walking distance to train station and beach right in the center of the town. The breakfast was pretty decent. The rooms were also fine.

    Every thing was great! The only thing that perhaps could be improved is the little soap bar (by the way, after many, many years I see one!), for 3 days and 2 nigths, it is a waist, maybe liquid soap would be better. Just a constructive opinion..

    We liked all.. Thank you.
