Our overnight in Kröpke Heide was very pleasant. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The only negative point would be that the hotel is a bit dated and looks like it could do with a refresh.

Nice and clean

The room was big and clean. Modern furniture and a good bathroom. The only downside of the room are the pillows on the bed. They are to light like the most hotels do. Normally I bring always me own pillow. Only this night I don’t :(. Except the pillows everything was perfect.
