TOP CountryLine Hotel Roth am Strande

Nice small hotel 1 block from beach and immediately next to water park. Right in middle of shops and restaurants. Helpful staff with limited english. Very little english anywhere on sylt. Still, it is a welcoming beach town. Beautiful corner room with two balconies. Comfy. Quiet.

We were given the choice of a room or an "apartment". We chose the apartment and it turned out to be perfect. It was an efficiency with a well-equipped kitchen area, a bath, a bedroom / living room and a balcony. The twin beds in the bedroom flipped up into the wall, making the room a comfortable 15 x 15 living area. The sofa flipped out futon style, so you could actually sleep 4, but it would be a mite tight for 4 adults. We went across the street to the bakerei and down the street to the grocery store and made our own breakfast after the first day. We could easily have prepared all of our meals there if we'd wanted to. The hotel offers breakfast, and it's a lovely spread - cereals, breads, yogurts, meats, salmon, fruits, eggs, bacon, sausage, etc., etc., etc. - but it wasn't included in our room price and cost a bit more than we wanted to pay. The hotel's location is excellent - just a few hundred yards from the beach in one direction and across the street from the shopping area in the other. It's a 10-15 minute walk from the train station, and there's parking if you've brought a car. The apartments are in a separate building that's semi-attached to the rest of the hotel. Some of the apartments are available through the hotel, others are owned by individuals. It's a very quiet, secure building.
