Historik Hotel Garni Christinenhof

Christinenhof is located in the middle of Hamlens old town, to get there you have to drive through narrow alleys but it is not hard to find. We arrived late in the afternoon on Whitday and got a warm welcome at the front desk. German efficiency, so in ten minutes the car was parked, we had a map of the city and the "Rattenfänger" fairy tale (in brief) in Swedish in our hands. We were lucky and got the Hochzeitszimmer (no 28), a well-furnished corner-room overlooking a picturesque streetcorner with halftimbered houses along the alleys. We went out for a walk in Hamelns old town and it was so nice. The old part of the town underwent a restoration in the eighties and nineties and is full of halftimbered houses, lots of references to the Rattenfänger fairytale and historical events. Off course there is a Glockenspiel and you can cross the Weser river to a small island and enjoy good food, wine and beer in one of the outdoor restaurants. We had a wonderful evening and the next morning we enjoyed the breakfast that included honey from the owners private behive, homemade yoghurt, leberwurst (also homemade). All through it was german hospitality and friendliness. Be sure to visit Hameln and when you go there, stay at Christinenhof!

Virtually all of the historical points of interest as well as dozens of great restaurants are within a few minutes walk from the front door. Rooms were quiet and high quality. My room on the third floor had plenty of space. The breakfast was 4-star (a buffet of varied items such as devilled eggs, smoked fish rolls, sausage and they offed eggs to order as well). The staff could not have been more helpful. For the modest rates it is a steal. Highly recommended.

Wirklich ein außergewöhnliches Hotel in perfekter Innenstadt Lage. Das Frühstück ist exzellent und einfach nur lecker. Die Auswahl ist riesig sehr abwechslungsreich und frisch zubereitet aus regionalen Quellen. Toller Service in allen Bereichen sehr sauber und gepflegt.

Ein familiengeführtes Hotel, zentral gelegen. Inhaber und Angestellte waren alle sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer waren geräumig und hatten eine Minibar. Das Frühstück war sehr umfangreich. Jeden morgen wurden wir gefragt wie wir unsere Eier wollten und sie wurden dann individuell frisch zubereitet genau nach Wunsch des Gastes. Außerdem befand sich im Hotel ein kleines Schwimmbecken, mit Gegenstromanlage und eine Sauna. Bademäntel und Badeschlappen sind im Hotel erhältlich. Jeder Zeit wieder. Sowas habe ich lange nicht erlebt.
