RINGHOTEL JENSEN — Hotel in Lübeck

A casual hotel that’s no too ‘touristy’ in the sense that it’s not very large and is rather gemütlich even though it’s not a small family hotel anymore. The average size is perfect for a place like Lübeck. Our (family) room was nice and large enough for the three of us. The second bedroom is a good feature. Perhaps the only thing we really didn’t like about our room was that it was rather hot; no aircon. Separate toilet and a bathroom were functional. Breakfast was served in the dining area on the ground floor. The choice of bread, yoghurt and cereals was quite adequate, and the friendly staff did everything they could to make it a great experience.

Downsides: if there’s fish on the menu for dinner, expect the hallways of the hotel to smell of fish. Sometimes even lingering in the morning.

Oh, parking arrangement is good with a row of private parking spots in a nearby parking garage on a five minute walk...

II was enjoying a long weekend in Lübeck, Travemünder, Timmendorfer Strand and found the Jensen hotel a nice and central place to be: friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, delicious breakfast - all at a reasonable price. If at all room size was a bit small, but functional for a short trip. The hotel is located opposite the Holstentor on the banks of Obertrave - which is really relaxed to just hang out there if the sun allows. I did not really like the next door restaurant especially after my visit to the seaside. You can not really beat a fresh, delicious "Fischbrötchen" grabbed at a booth...

This hotel was better than we expected. Location can't be beat, right by the entrance to the city in one of the oldest buildings in Lubeck and as such, easy to find. Hotel provides free parking in a garage on the other side of the canal, also easy to find. Room was comfortable and large, breakfast buffet was good, room was quiet (we faced out the back). Decor was more German and quite inviting. Not all staff speak English. We stayed 4 days and really liked the hotel ambiance...
