We stayed in Hotel Lubeck for one night in double room. The room size was good, however the decoration needs to be improved, it just does not justify the price for a room. The wall paper has seen its better days, and on top of that it looks like there was a leakage from a floor above as there were stains on the wall.
The bathroom was also an average, but clean, except broken toilet seat.

The reception people are friendly and do make you feel comfortable in this hotel. Breakfast was good, and choice was fair for the size of the hotel.

One of the disadvantages of the hotel is the police of not accepting credit cards. Although, there is an ATM machine near by, if you are in a hurry, remember that or pay when you check-in.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night after we rang up a lot of other hotels in Lubeck and found that most were fully booked.

In the end I was glad that we ended up at the Stadt because we were so, so close to public transport links in and out of town. Location wise I have absolutely no complaints. A walk of less than ten to fifteen minutes took us to restaurants, shops and the marzipan shop which my boyfriend adored.

We had a raised ground floor room that looked on directly at the bus station forecourt but with the curtain partially drawn we still felt that it was private enough.

The hotel was not luxurious nor pretending to be luxurious but I would urge anyone looking for practical convenience and good value for money to consider staying here.

Finally I would like to mention that the man who ran the reception desk was friendly and good-humoured and efficient.

Lubeck - very enjoyable for a two-day break, clutching a reliable guidebook. We flew in and out with a budget airline.

I am returning this month for my third visit to the Hotel Stadt Luebeck, with a small group from my school. I am very surprised to see complaints from one or two other visitors - they seem to be people with an axe to grind. On each visit I have found the owner, Gerd Richert, to be friendly and helpful. He speaks good English and is quite anglophile - even happily allowing my pupils to interview him for their GCSE coursework ! He gladly offers advice about Luebeck for visitors.

The hotel is of good two-star standard and is excellent value for the prices charged. Its location is terrific: right across the road from the bus station, which has a regular service to the airport (but is quiet enough, by evening, not to be at all disturbing); round the corner from the rail station; and a straightforward 10/15-minute walk into the town centre. There is a row of shops, including cafes and a late-ish opening drug store, within two minutes.

Rooms are clean and comfortable, and everything works; I had a minor problem on my first visit when I was allocated a "smoker's" room, but Herr Richert happily and swiftly switched me to a non-smoking room. Breakfast was fine and the breakfast room is pleasantly furnished.

Luebeck itself is an excellent short-break destination (especially with Ryanair's generally low fares from London Stansted): it is a fine historic city with lots of lovely little side-streets, and the brash lights of Hamburg are only 40 minutes away by train.

As a pleasant, good-value base, I would recommend the Hotel Stadt Luebeck with total confidence.

Hotel Stadt is in a good location for budget, no-fuss travellers, who want a low-cost break in Luebeck, near Hamburg, Germany. It's just across the street from the bus station, from which a bus takes you directly to from the airport (without fuss or need to change) at modest cost. The railway station is just around the corner, from which you can easily reach several other different interesting German towns.

The hotel itself is modest and plain, but perfectly acceptable. My bedroom (& shower Wc) was small but clean, comfortable and cosy, and the bed was comfortable. TV was not satellite, just local German, but that's minor and not important. I missed the in-room electric kettle tea/coffee-making facilities which we take for granted in British hotels; but I don't know if that's standard practice in German hotels, or not. There is one small lift, and the breakfast room is in a bright and pleasant little "basement" room with attractive painted windows. Unfortunately, (my only "minus" point) the breakfast was entirely a modest "cold buffet" - no hot/cooked options were offered; and this made the breakfasts a little bit boring. No evening food is offered: evening meals have to be taken outside.

Still the manager and his assistant spoke very good English, and were very helpful in giving me information about Luebeck and other towns to visit for day-trips. It's a very pleasant walk from the hotel towards the famous Holstentor and the Puppenbrucke over the River Trave, although several buses can take you into the Old Town on the island.

This isn't a fancy hotel which you "live" in during the day; but it's an adequate, respectable & convenient lodging-place to return to at night.
