Top Kiel Hotel Reviews

Me and All Hotel Kiel, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"We spent one night in this property while driving around Germany. It is an older property and good for someone traveling. I can't praise the manager enough; he checked us in, helped us get to our room and helped us with parking. We parked in the employee parking because the rest of the hotel's parking was already taken, but the manager made sure that there were no problems. We did not take advantage of the breakfast, bar or fitness area. The hotel is in easy walking distance to the train station, shopping, and nightlife. We were fortunate to have a nice view of the harbor."

Hampton by Hilton Kiel City Centre

8/10 Good

"Very clean and well put together. One of the selling points is AC, which is not that common in Europe!"

Steigenberger Conti Hansa

8/10 Good

"Check in was easy and fast. The desk staff were very nice and helpful. There was a bad smell in the main hallway down to the room elevators, I’m not sure what caused that but it was pretty bad. Our room was pretty clean. The breakfast is expensive but there’s quite a selection. There needs to be more than just one coffee machine, however. The parking garage is a nightmare! Tiny spaces, tight corners, and you had to go through two doors to get to the elevator. Those doors should be changed to automatic opening doors."

Atlantic Hotel Kiel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night and enjoyed it good breakfast"

Hotel Berliner Hof by Coffee Fellows Hotels

8/10 Good

"Great location, next to train station. Simple amenities, no extra. But good enough for daily sleep and use. No air-con, but I came at month when it's not hot, so natural air is good enough. Got free coffee and tea."

Hotel Kiel by Golden Tulip

10/10 Excellent

"The building is impressive with its great lobby (of perhaps faded art deco glamour) of another era. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is not modern and fancy, but clean and functional. Room was very comfortable. Kiel is spread out and the hotel is a bit far to walk with luggage, as I discovered, but a straight shot to train station and downtown. The terrace in front of lobby was a nice place to sit to enjoy the breezes and chill (it's Kiel!), at least until smokers claim it as their own. The breakfast area is very nice and the breakfast excellent: I highly recommend the breakfast, on its merits, but especially since there are few restaurants nearby."

Holiday Inn - the niu, Welly Kiel by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Breakfast was good but little more expensive that in the states."

Garner Hotel Kiel - Akademie by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Place is calm, parking on the street, hotel clean, breakfast and staff good."
