The F-Ritz is an absolutely wonderful accommodation with no serious competition when it comes to hotels in Schleswig. This is the logically the best choice in town. Its location is quite sensible, in terms of Schleswig’s challenging geography: the city is not large, population wise, but is extremely spread out in two wings, with the Bahnhof at a central hinge point at the west end of the bay, the cathedral and old town a considerable distance away along the north shore, and the Viking Museum off in the other direction, along the bay’s south side. Being some 750m from the Bahnhof, the F-Ritz is likewise in Schleswig’s middle hinge area: the Viking Museum is a walkable distance east, while buses heading in the other direction, toward the Landesmuseum and the old town, stop regularly (if infrequently) at a Haltestelle right in front of the hotel. The F-Ritz has a clean, Nordic elegance about it, being contemporary but in a comfortable and welcoming way. The rooms are bright, immaculately clean, and abound in natural light. The hotel even offers a grassy area with leisure chairs. I stayed in the junior suite (one of only two rooms with air conditioning) and loved the extra living space that this unit provides. The split-level design is fun and unique, with the upstairs bed/bath arrangement introducing a bit of extra exercise into one’s routine. The kitchen facilities (fridge, microwave, toaster, etc.) proved to be a blessing, as an early train compelled me to cobble together my own breakfast on the final morning of my three-day stay. The staff are excellent: I needed laundry done, and though this isn’t a chain hotel, they readily took care of it. All in all, I had a marvellous time in Schleswig, and the home-away-from-home quality of the F-Ritz contributed greatly to my enjoyment. I would gladly stay here again.

While the hotel’s location makes it possible to trek to the Viking Museum on foot, the 750m distance from the Bahnhof is rather farther than one would prefer, especially when one is encumbered by all of one’s baggage on arrival and departure days. And while I loved the F-Ritz and would recommend it to anyone visiting Schleswig, the hotel does present two significant opportunities for improvement. First, breakfast doesn’t begin until 7:30, which is shockingly late (a full hour after most hotels’ breakfast starts) and severely limits one’s options, time wise, on a travel day. Furthermore, the breakfast itself could certainly be better, currently only featuring boiled eggs, not scrambled, and with no Würstchen or Frikadellen accompaniments. Second, the hotel, quite surprisingly, provided no housekeeping — and this was in the suite (!). While one can certainly survive without housekeeping for a three-day stay, it is nevertheless sorely missed (e.g., I had to make do with just two towels for three days, and with no garbage removal).

Breakfast and hotel minibar ( self service) was great. Clean rooms.

Rooms were a bit warm due to poor ventilation.

Spacious, comfortable, super clean, lovely furniture.

The room was light at night, no black-out blinds!

Excellent choice beautifully presented

not too many outlets for today’s phone requirements

everything.

the room key was a little difficult to use.

modern clean nicely decorated. great location

In room info screen didn’t work and as the reception had already closed, we couldn’t get it fixed and we didn’t forexample get the wifi password.

Great, super great costumer service

Everything about this little room was exceptional and well thought out. The decor, electrical outlets are plentiful and varied, seating area comfortable for two, comfortable bed, very clean. A mini fridge would be nice but for one night in cold weather, it was okay to leave food items in the car.

Property is beautiful. Apartment great size, excellent layout. Lovely bathroom walk in shower. Grounds and pool area green and beautiful. Staff super friendly and helpful. Nice little gym to work out the kinks. Need to take your water though.

Beds were too hard for my wife and I. So didn’t sleep well. A topper would fix that. But of course that’s our personal preference. Others may find it suitable.

Modern architecture and design, very friendly and attentive service, nice rooms, nice outdoor pool, beautiful garden, great breakfast.

Everything was perfect, could not find any fault,

Very helpful and courteous staff, clean rooms, great breakfast, good location in quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking space in front of the hotel. Would visit again.

Nothing.

Very attractive hotel, creative use of the surroundings - garden, wellness area etc.

The lock on the door to my room was sticking and tricky to open.

Good breakfast adapted to the COVID situation. Fair room size, was a bit cold in the night. Nice and clean room, no problem with the facilities. Good idea of using a tablet for communication with the reception.

Reception response time was not ideal, tool a while to realise that the breakfast was delivered to different room, almost missing my appointment due to that.
