I stayed here with a friend (German) for 2 nights. Just checked out yesterday actually. I thought this was a very nice place to stay. The options are quite limited in Zarrentin, especially in the center. …

I visited this small hotel in connection with my work. The staff is very friendly. The hotel rooms are of a good size with a nice bathroom. We had dinner in the restaurant. They do know how to serve their fish. We are in the country side of what was the former east Germany. The serving are generous.

Good German food. My pork roast was good if a bit bland. The fish looked must better. I guess Fischhaus is a hint for what best to order. Nice comfortable restaurant for a family meal.

The service was good, and the place is nice. While I enjoyed the side orders and drinks, my fish dish was overdone, though. Overall I'd say the place is okay, but too pricey for what's offered.

Very nice restaurant. Unfortunately the salmon chunks in my pasta had been heated so they became dry and chewy. Hence only 3 stars.
