We booked this hotel for a hiking wellness weekend and were influenced by the great photos on the internet. When we arrived, the outside impression of the hotel wasn't that good. It's a gray "block" probably from the 70s. But okay, that shouldn't play a big role. The reception area then made a better impression. We had 3 single rooms in house 4. The external impression was somewhat confirmed here. The staircase, elevator and hallway are in an unrenovated and old condition, as are the rooms. I can't remember the last time I got a real room key. Everything here is relatively old, the furnishings, the bathrooms, the curtains, etc. B. the telephone. We then went on to the wellness area. We didn't really like it here either, as the wellness area was getting old in some places and was spread over several floors. However, it is designed quite nicely and the women's sauna and relaxation room are very nice. Moving on to the restaurant: we had booked dinner here. We enjoyed the food. The only point of criticism here was that the chairs were very sagging, you noticed the springs and it was uncomfortable to sit on, but the restaurant was very full and there were probably no other chairs left. The cocktails afterwards tasted good, but at €8.50 we didn't think it was cheap considering the size. At breakfast we had comfortable chairs and everything you could want for breakfast was offered. It can happen that a coffee machine gives up the ghost from time to time.One thing is important to mention: the staff here are really great. Without exception, everyone was very friendly and accommodating.Conclusion: for a 4 star hotel there are a few things wrong, but it is obviously being renovated and renewed. When this process is complete, it really is a great wellness hotel. Until then, however, we would refrain from visiting again.

We stayed at the Harz Hotel & Spa Seela for 2 nights to take a short vacation in Bad Harzburg.I was impressed by the hotel's promising website. Shortly before arrival, I read the reviews and was a little unsure whether my decision was right. But once I was there I was convinced of the opposite and found that the hotel was portrayed worse in some reviews! Of course, it always depends on which room and which services you book.We chose a superior double room with a forest view. The room had a box spring double bed, which didn't have a sagging mattress, on the contrary it was very comfortable and we slept great! I was most afraid of the bathroom because I was afraid of traveling back in time. Luckily, our room had a renovated bathroom, which was visually appealing, although small but perfectly adequate for our purposes.I can't complain about the noise at night either, since our room faced the forest, it was pleasantly "quiet" and we could even sleep with the window open.The only thing we noticed was that the room was a bit dark, despite several lamps and lights.The stairwell is still reminiscent of bygone times, and one or two things have not yet been modernized/renovated (e.g. windows, cupboards, pieces of furniture, hallway) but that didn't bother us personally. Attention, if you are staying in house 2, there is no elevator to the rooms.The sauna area is small but sufficient, there are 5 saunas and several relaxation rooms as well as free water and tea. Everything is spread out over several levels, but it's easy to find your way around thanks to good signage. The pool area is warm and cozy, the water temperature a bit cool for my taste.The breakfast buffet was varied (also suitable for vegetarians/vegans) and delicious! The employees at the reception and in the restaurant were also all super nice and accommodating!The location and proximity to sights and hiking trails is also a plus. There is also sufficient information material available.The hotel definitely deserves a chance. We would come again!

We were in this hotel for a short vacation, the depiction on the internet was very good, the reality was mostly bad, I'll start with the positive, the breakfast was okay, unfortunately that was it too. The room had a strange smell, the furnishings and the ambience looked good Like from the seventies it was very noisy, no wonder the entrance door to the hotel room had a very simple room antenna, you could hear every step in the hallway and the TV on the wall was just to decorate the defect, the elevators were in need of an overhaul, you were happy when you were allowed to go out again The stairs were a bit safer then, except for the loose steps. On the Friday when we arrived it was sauna night and two ladies tried to celebrate the infusion. I think they were entering a sauna for the first time. The infusion was nothing and my five-year-old granddaughter feels better by waving! The floor in the changing room and in front of the shower was always flooded with water because it was very quiet and the highlight was the walk in a bathrobe through the fully occupied guest room where these guests understandably made fun of themselves and I think I need to know whether I would recommend the hotel to others not to mention.Kind regards

The rooms are only cleaned every three days and only upon express request. We then disposed of some of the rubbish ourselves; for example, I don't want leftover apples in the room for a long time. You could have gotten fresh towels at the reception. This procedure is unacceptable to me in this price range.The bathroom is very dark, no lamp, just a mirror with some lighting.Swimming pool and sauna are very nice, but there is little or no control by the staff. Actually, according to the notice, the sauna is textile-free, but some visitors don't stick to this and use it in wet swimwear without a towel - they don't want to sit on the wet benches.The staff was (with one exception) very friendly. Food in the restaurant is good, with half board you have the option of ordering from the menu for the main course (pizza/pasta, schnitzel or fish and chips) or taking the daily recommendation. The service here was also very friendly.

Day spa with treatments...the old hotel right on the main street has been beautifully renovated.Friendly sent to the parking deck by the staff...later €13 for 3 hours of spa area. Swimming pool cold, application ok but afterwards reception couldn't calculate, instead of €30 we paid €39 back, said we would have had more treatments.Thank you for not staying with us again at Seela Bad Harzburg

I stayed at this hotel with my partner for vacation and it was really nice. The staff is also friendly. The only thing that bothered us personally is that you have to go through the restaurant to get to the spa area. (Quite awkward with a bathrobe)We would still like to come back to this hotel.Best regardsOlesya Schmidt

The house seems to be in transition; the restaurant area is nice, the bar too, the idea with the DJ on Saturday was great, some of the rooms are still a bit old-fashioned and yes, if you opened the cupboard and the neighbor too, you could communicate easily with each other Wishing you health while sneezing, but it was still a nice stay, the spa area left nothing to be desired, the location was great and the breakfast buffet was great, rich and prepared with a lot of love, the dinner was higher priced, but also very tasty, the cocktails Could use a slightly higher quality OJ, but the alcohol content was great, the staff was consistently attentive, friendly and polite and I think the idea of using a water bottle instead of cleaning is great. Thank you for a great stay in the Harz.

We really liked that in Bad Harzburg. The hotel was great and the staff was friendly. The only thing we didn't like is; If you wanted to go to the spa area, you had to go through the restaurant. Pretty awkward with a bathrobe. I was only in the savings area once.We would still like to come back.Kind regards from Fudalla & Schmidt

We will definitely recommend this hotel.The staff, no matter what category, are all super nice.We would love to come back.😀The only drawback is we had a small mini bathroom and you had to leave the door open when showering.We had 3 nights.The spa area is super large and very clean and cozy.The swimming pool is sufficiently large.

The hotel is located just outside the town on a double-lane federal road in the direction of Torfhaus. It is a building complex made up of several buildings, all of which are somehow connected to each other. There are a few parking spaces directly at the hotel and in the parking garage or part of it in a large parking lot that is right next to the hotel. There we had a step place, which was cheap at €8 per night.We had room 336 on the 3rd floor. Since I'm sensitive to noise, we took advantage of the upgrade (+10€ per night), which means the room faces the quieter side of the forest.The room feels quite small, but it has a balcony and one person can stay in the bathroom.For a 4 star hotel, we would have been happy about a room safe.I have two real criticisms: the WiFi in the room was simply unusable. When I asked, a different WLAN was recommended to me, but when I searched for the WLAN on my smartphone, it only worked sporadically and then only very weakly. The pillows are also to be criticized.The breakfast is very commendable. Very comprehensive and even more.You can see real service robots at work there, which is interesting.Conclusion: We felt comfortable, even if there was room for improvement in one place or another!

Unfortunately, not everything went as planned.We turned off our heating in the bathroom twice during the night. I was really cold that night because there was only a thin blanket. [at 3 degrees outside at night]The layout of the room is not optimal. The TV is hanging right in front of the bed, so you can hardly use the sofa. There is also no real table in front of it. (if you ever want to play cards in the evening).The small refrigerator in the room was also very loud, as it often made a loud clacking noise at night.Our windows also faced the main street and it was very loud when the trucks and buses regularly drove past. This is probably why there were double-glazed windows.We made a reservation on the booking page and there was not a single mention of the fact that we should have reserved the spa experiences immediately after booking.So unfortunately we couldn't use the part we were actually there for. It was also no longer possible to book spontaneously when we arrived because two employees were absent due to illness.We were probably not the only ones who had to miss out on the spa experience.The breakfast and food there was very tasty and the staff was friendly. We were also positively surprised by the dog-friendliness.

Great staff, great service and a lot of passion for you guests, rooms are clean but more of an 80s style, hotel is good in itself. However, anyone who has a light sleep will be woken up mercilessly by the street in the morning. There are ear packs attached to the hotel...they should also be used. Trucks drive past on a tour and you can hear them very loudly. What was super nice, we were on vacation with the dog, in front of the hotel door you can wipe the dog clean with the hotel's own wipes, which we really liked, and is certainly good for the hotel and the dogs, so you don't have to take care of this matter in the room yourself.All in all nice, but the location is not.

Just one night from Sat to Sun with wife, husband and 11 year old. We arrive there at 1 p.m. and park the car in front of the hotel. Go in and ask if we need a room for 1 night... no problem. With a balcony, bedroom and another large living room... wonderful. 165 euros without breakfast.
