I stayed at this hotel in July 2005 with my husband and 2 young children. The receptionists are very friendly and speak perfect english. The breakfast was superb -it included cereals, fruits, scrambled egg and sausges and a wide varity of cold meats and salads, breads and cake and had a lovely small terrace. The reception area and lounge are small but clean. The room was a reasonable size, the bathroom had no bath but a decent sized shower. The only thing I could complain about was the condition of the carpets - they are well worn. Everything else has been upgraded. The best thing about this hotel was that it was so central to everything in Schwerin including shops, restaurants and the centre of town and was just a stroll away from the beautiful castle. Oh, and I nearly forgot...it cost us just 59 euro a night excluding breakfast for the room - brilliant value! more
