Wendland Cheap Vacations

This hotel is definitely not a 4-star property—more like 2.5 stars. The staff were great and the rooms were clean, but it’s definitely better advertised than it actually is. Also, one floor seemed to be used for long-term housing to immigrants, which made it unclear what type of place it really is.

A quiet place with easy access to the town

The hotel was nice, bus stop outside and train station a few stops away although walkable. Breakfast was okay, hot and cold food although hot food is limited and not replenished enough during breakfast hours. From my observation, the dining area can be a bit messy with food on the floor that is not cleaned up efficiently but the limited staff on the floor do work hard to clear tables. My room was “cleaned” but I noticed they didn’t change the sheets because there was a mark on my pillow before I left the room and came back to it. The shower area is open plan so be cautious if you want a bit of privacy but the toilet is separate. The mini bar was stocked with apple juice, a lemon and a berry drink, sparkling and still water as well as a kettle and some teas which is restocked daily so that was nice. If you want to food from outside the hotel, you would either have to walk or take public transport/taxi as there is not really any restaurants local, I walked to Edeka supermarket which was well equipped for things you may need. There’s a fuel station across the road from the hotel as well. Checkout is 11am but I paid €15 to extend until 12. Overall, it was decent and in a quiet area.

Stunning hotel. Staff were especially warm and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Great location beautiful room. Staff can be more attentive.

Hotel Nordic is an hotel in Norderstedt, a town just outside Hamburg. My twin en-suite bedroom, which I was able to use as a single room, was fairly basic, but it was more than adequate. The room had a tv, and there was access to the hotel's WiFi. The Continental-style buffet breakfast was excellent with a selection of hot and cold food and drinks. It was reasonably priced at 10 Euros. The staff were very helpful. When I needed more liquid hand washing soap, and also help to get the TV to work, the staff attended to these matters swiftly. Parking for those with cars was adequate. There are plenty of shops, including PENNY MARKT, and some cafes nearby. Transport facilities are good, with modern local buses. The Hochbahn, a sort of Metro train service , which could take passengers to the airport or Hamburg city centre and its harbour, was about 15 minutes walk away from the hotel. A 5 day tourist card for travel on ferries, buses, Hochbahn and S-Bahn trains cost me the equivalent of about £47.50 in zones A and B (adequate for seeing a large part of Hamburg).

The hotel met an important locational need and is convenient for the Stadtpark (which is well worth visiting at any time of year but especially in the autumn) as well as a U-bahn station to get into the City Centre. The rooms are good, clean and tidy and the breakfasts are very good indeed, staff have always been friendly (I have stayed there a number of times now). Underground parking is worth paying for as there are little or no spaces on-street. The street itself is quiet.

I checked in on 4/26/26 ( Saturday ) my room was never cleaned until 5/2/26 ( Sunday) as I questioned the front desk why on 5/1 /26. I was told the “ apartment” is scheduled to be cleaned twice a week on Tuesday and Friday . First I was told 5/1 was public holiday, cleaning service was off. But I was cleaning lady was cleaning the room cross hallway from me and another leaning lady was cleaning a room in another section of the hallway. Another thing when I came back on 5/1 evening, my room light were on which I turned off when I left in the morning.
