We only had 1 night in this hotel and in this city which was a shame because both were delightful, charming surprises. This hotel overlooks a small lake and is a very short walk to the sights. The rooms were larger than expected and spotlessly clean. The breakfast buffet was small but good. There are stairs leading up to the main door which would make it a difficult place for anybody with mobililty issues. Although Schwerin is a quiet, provincial backwater, it was a beautiful, charming little city. The castle, surrounded by water, is something out of a fairy tale. The old part of the city contains many small, narrow streets with interesting shops. While we visited the cathedral, somebody was practicing the organ. I felt as though I had stepped back into the 18th century. All in all, Schwerin and this hotel are worth a visit.

My husband and I spent a night at the Niederlandischer Hof on a recent trip to northeastern Germany. It was one of the loveliest hotels we have been to. The staff was friendly and the room was beautiful- especially the large marble bathroom. We asked for and received a room with a lake view (otherwise you look at the back parking lot). For a room with a king bed we paid 112 Euros per night- a much better price than other very nice hotels we stayed at in the region and we enjoyed this hotel more. The hotel has a nice study to relax in and a restaurant (although we chose to eat in town for our one night there). While not located in the heart of the old city it is within very easy walking distance to everything a tourist would want to see in Schwerin.
