We loved our stay at Hotel Wankenitz! Our room was large with fantastic views towards the water. The staff were helpful and an early check in was possible. We also had a small balcony. The breakfast itself was a nice buffet and the breakfast room had fab views. We walked everywhere from the location. Highly recommended.

Stayed one night with family at this property. Top floor rooms have very nice view from the balcony (Facing the river). This is walking distance from the old town and route 5 of the bus. Rooms have basic amenities. Breakfast included in tariff is good and sumptuous.

Best alternative compared to local hostels or private B & B's. Nice hotel w/cozy feel. friendly owner & staff. Recent room pictures published are spot on. Yes, the furnitures are a bit dated & simple. So is the flooring. …

For the most part, our two night stay was excellent. The room was large and with a balcony and a water view. There was storage and a medium sized bathroom that had plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Breakfast was excellent.  …

We stayed just one night but still received a warm welcome from the owners. Our suite was large, with a beautiful view from the balcony. Although dated décor, it was spotlessly clean.  …

Ideal for short stay vacation. Breakfast was plentyful. Room and bathroom was clean, but one side on the shower was loose at the base. Bed comfortable. Great views of the lake. Recommended.

Idyllic location with views of the river, very calm area, walking distance to the old town. Furniture is dated, but functional and everything is very clean. Room kinda warm at night, and curtains don’t block the sun very well (light sleeper here). Must be great during summer, as long as they provide a fan.Mixed feelings about the staff: check-in host was friendly and polite, instructed me to park my bike in the garage. The one on check out though tried to charge me the booking fees again, though I had paid when I made the reservation. Guess it was an honest mistake, but he was so sure I was wrong he refused to look at the payment confirmation I had, even when I repeated asked him to just please read it. That was just silly. After minutes of discussion he finally decided to check it on the booking platform, and abruptly said I didn’t have to pay anymore. Wish he would have just looked at the payment confirmation I was trying to show him instead of insisting I was wrong.Breakfast was very good, with options of fruits, cheese, spreads, meats, yoghurt, bread and jams.

Hotel Wakenitzblick is an ideal place to stay in Lubeck. It is situated about a 10 minutes leisurely walk from the town centre. A bus route runs along the next street going directly to the old town and its transport hub. …
