Hotel Description

Buten-Diek Hotel und Restaurant, located at Hafenstraße 4, 26553 Dornum, Germany, offers a cozy and unpretentious atmosphere right by the serene Mahlbusen Lake. This charming hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the Zwei-Siele-Museum im Wiechers-Huus and a mere 1 km from Dornumersiel Beach on the Wadden Sea, making it an ideal spot for guests seeking both relaxation and cultural exploration. The hotel features a relaxed design with rustic touches, including a wood-paneled restaurant and a welcoming terrace. Despite its simplicity, the hotel offers everything you need for a comfortable stay, including pet-friendly rooms, free Wi-Fi, and parking. While the rooms are modestly furnished, they are spacious enough to accommodate up to 3 guests, with some offering beautiful views of the nearby lake or the sea. The hotel is particularly suitable for families, with its kid-friendly amenities and laid-back environment. Guests can enjoy a hearty breakfast at the hotel’s cozy restaurant, which specializes in local dishes, and parking is also available for convenience. However, it’s worth noting that the hotel does not feature air-conditioning, fitness facilities, a spa, or a pool, focusing instead on comfort and relaxation. As a rare gem in the area, Buten-Diek also offers one of the few on-site restaurants, making it an excellent choice for dining and unwinding after a day of sightseeing. Public transportation options, including Dornumersiel Deichschart and Dornumersiel Hafen, are within walking distance, and the Bremen Airport is about 1 hour and 45 minutes by taxi. For those seeking adventure, nearby attractions include the beautiful Strand Nessmersiel, the unique Insel Baltrum, and the historic Water Tower, all easily accessible by car. The hotel’s proximity to local restaurants, such as Restaurant Käthe & Karl and Dusend Buddel Huus, further enhances its appeal, allowing guests to indulge in regional cuisine just steps from their accommodations.

The location of the hotel is perfect. Parking spaces are in the yard in front of the house.The service was extremely courteous. Special requests were gladly fulfilled. The breakfast was plentiful and prepared personally by the boss; and with the accompanying snack, a good start to the day was guaranteed. The cutter's plaice in the restaurant was freshly prepared by the chef and served with great commitment and friendliness by the staff. All in all highly recommended.

The rating refers exclusively to the restaurant.|Because we wanted to eat fish, we as a couple chose this restaurant for lunch. There were just 6 of us guests at 1 p.m. I chose the crab soup as a starter. …

I can only say something about the food and the rude behavior of the staff. Unfortunately, no one can accept criticism anymore, everyone smiles when praised, but when you complain, you get unpleasant comments. Important had asked whether it was freshly cooked, which was answered in the affirmative, the salad dressing was the ready-made dressing from Kühne, yes fresh from the bottle. My wife had schnitzel with potatoes and 3 fat potatoes on the plate. The eye wasn't there, but the price wasn't. It wasn't any more snack quality. I had the mixed fish plate. The fish was ok, the fried potatoes, um I said crispy, that was nothing, no onions, no bacon, what kind of fried potatoes are they, were also very spicy, I'm not feeling well today, they come from ready-made spice mixes, I can't do that away.Yes, yes, we cook fresh. We eat out at least 3 times a week and I know what's fresh.Nevertheless, I gave a tip of €7.50 only to be called after me in a snippy tone, have a nice holiday, remember we were already outside. Conclusion: We won't be coming back, even though it's only 30 minutes away from us.

Just one star. The criticism is not accepted. Except for the fillet, which was fried to death, the salt fell on all products. Since I've been in the kitchen for 30 years, I don't understand why a landlady doesn't want to accept criticism. In my opinion she's just stupid. A good product can be ruined by bad cooks. The boss is missing.

It's grumpy when you come in... food isn't really good... service makes an effort, but criticism isn't accepted... it's a shame

Unfortunately the food is a big disappointment...I had the schnitzel in cream sauce with mixed mushrooms. The mixed mushrooms consisted of 2 slices of champions!! When I asked the staff where the mixed mushrooms were, they only said stupid things. Something like that doesn't work at all.
