The Movenpick Hotel in Lubeck is well located and an easy walk from the railway station. The hotel itself dates back to the 1960s and has been recently renovated by this Swiss hotel (and ice cream) chain. Staff are efficient and friendly and it is clear that the company sets high standards for its staff. Our room was disappointingly small, but we had a river view (ask for it as the rooms at the front face the road). It was comfortable and well designed. The restaurant not only served a very good breakfast, but an excellent buffet dinner for only 18.50 euros. The selection of food was superb! I would recommend the Movenpick in Lubeck.

This hotel is one of the best I have stayed at. The Staff is friendly and efficient and all speak English. The rooms are medium size, clean and very comfortable. The best thing about the hotel is the restaurant. The breakfast is superb. There are enough different dishes to have a different breakfast every morning for at least two weeks. The same room is also used for the evening meals. The Movenpick restaurant had theme nights on Thursday, Friday and Saturday while we were there. On Thursday it was American night (€16.50), Friday it was Italian night (€22.50) and on Saturday it was Swiss night (€22.50). It turned out to be excellent value because there is so much choice that it is impossible to leave the restaurant without having just what you wanted

It was brought home to us when we decided to go out on Saturday night to an Italian restaurant called Ristorante Italia. It was so nice inside that we thought – oh, this should be good. It was the most dreadful meal we (6 of us) have ever had. It was like Gordon Ramsey before he turns a restaurant around. I can just picture the kitchen cupboards full of packets of minestrone and jars of pasta sauce. When we arrived at 8:15 pm there was only one table occupied. When we left two hours later there was still only one other table occupied. The staff was sitting around a small table doing nothing. What does that tell you? This was Saturday night!! What a waste!! I wished we had stayed in the Movenpick for the Swiss night.

The bar was cosy but deliberately very dark, too dark but that did not spoil the enjoyment. Across from the hotel was the Radisson who did a happy hour (half price) for beer and wine between 4 and 6 pm.

We arrived in mid March and it was very cold but Lubeck is a nice compact town where the old sits with the new. There was lots of ice on the river but we managed to find a company who did boat tours for about €7 each.

I think it was unfair of one reviewer to complain that there was not a swimming pool. The hotel does not claim to have a swimming pool. A pool is listed on the hotel website in the Lubeck Leisure and Recreation facilities as 0.5 km distance, just as it lists Fishing as 20km and Squash Courts as 3km distance. I took a chance on the latest review and was not disappointed.

It was very noticeable that throughout the day people not staying at the hotel were either dining in the restaurant or drinking in the bar.

A taxi from the airport was €16. We actually got an MPV and it was still €16.

This is a very modern hotel ideally situated 3 minutes walk from the beautiful town of Lubeck. Our two day trip in Lubreck was fantastic, not only because lubeck is a wonderful place with lots to see but also because our hotel was great. Our room was very comfortable, clean and modern. The breakfast selection was enormous, everything you could want was there, freshly prepared. Although the hotel has a play area for kids and a bar, it is also a hotel for holding business conferences and down stairs there are many large rooms for this. The staff are friendly and its good value for money. I will stay there again - no problem. Also, just outside Lubeck you'll find the seaside town of Travemunde which has 'Sandworld' all creation from sand. Its a great little seaside town and well worth a visit. We went during the festival week and it was brilliant, will go back next year.

The hotel is conveniently situated to the centre of Lubeck, has an air of modernity and style about it but I feel is providing false information about its so-called swimming pool facilities. This hotel was chosen by us also on account of the fact that in its publicity blurb it claims to have on-site swimming pool facilities but I can tell you that it doesn't! And we were most disapponted especially when we were told at the reception that the hotel in actual fact doesn't possess a pool but if you want to go swimming then you have to go to the Radisson SAS across the road! You should have seen our daughter's face and we were livid - a rwal let down and guilty of dis-information I feel.
