Hotel Prinzenpalais Bad Doberan

Beautiful historic building in great condition. The hotel manager called us ahead of time to check on our ETA, and provided us with instructions for our check in after hours. The hotel has its own parking area within own premises. The room was very nice, clean and with a roomy bathroom. The breakfast was served in an expansive glass room, and there was a good selection of quality food.

The situation was good and the hotel pleasant. Staff downright rude - we asked where the bar was for pre-dinner drinks only to find they'd locked it up within 10 minutes of asking. Presumably they didn't like the thought of seven men having a drink despite the fact that all in their sixties or seventies. We were then offered to be served drinks outside but no-one came in 15 minutes so we took our business elsewhere. We will not be returning to this establishment which is a pity as a pleasant hotel.

I didn't feel safe getting into & out of the combined bath/shower. The access was restricted by a 45 degree angled roof. I had a fear of slipping, especially getting out of the bath. Also the beautifully tiled floor is slippy if water touches it. This was my only problem.

my best hotel experience ever!
