Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The breakfast was excellent, and the restaurant served very good food. The Deluxe room was spacious and comfortable. However, despite booking a room with a garden view, we were given a room overlooking the parking lot. The room became very warm, and since there was no air conditioning, we had to sleep with the windows open. Unfortunately, this meant a lot of noise from passing cars, making it difficult to sleep. The bathroom ventilation was also poor. There were visible stains on the walls and ceiling in Deluxe Room 114, which were likely caused by the lack of proper ventilation. Installing air conditioning and improving the ventilation would make the stay much more comfortable.

Vi havde et rigtig godt ophold på The Great North Hotel! Værelset var rent og pænt og personalet på hotellet var super! Alle, vi mødte, var utroligt venlige, imødekommende og hjælpsomme. Morgenmaden var et klart højdepunkt. Stort udvalg af friske produkter, en lækker juicebar og bobler gjorde det til en oplevelse ud over det sædvanlige. Der er dog et par ting, som kunne forbedres. Værelserne er ret lydte, og hotellets placering i et industriområde tæt ved en skydebane betød, at vi begge blev vækket af skud begge morgener (de skød fra morgen til eftermiddag) Vi savnede også mere information på engelsk om HolstenTherme. Det er fint, at saunaområdet er tekstilfrit – det var vi indstillet på – men vi blev noget overraskede, da Wasserland pludselig også blev tekstilfrit inden lukketid på grund af et særligt arrangement. Den information ville have været rart at få på forhånd, så ikke skulle gå forgæves. Sauna kulturen er fin, men gider ikke nøgensvømning uden varsel! Alt i alt et rigtig godt hotel med fantastisk service og en morgenmad i topklasse. Med lidt bedre information til internationale gæster og bedre lydisolering ville oplevelsen have været tæt på perfekt.
