Seehotel Schloss Klink — Hotel in Seenlandschaft Waren

I must admit that I had some kind of expectations, which perhaps were too highly set! Also because I had booked a Junior Suites. ||The Hotel is divided in two parts, the castle and the Orangerie in which you find the Spa, the breakfast room and some other facilities. ||||The Spa facilities are ok, well kept, but nothing really special. To be underlined, the one staff in the Spa I met was very friendly. Excellent massage. ||||The Restaurant had a nice atmosphere, the food by all means was not good. Never mind Vegan food choices. ||The breakfast for someone on a normal diet is great, fantastic choice! ||Didn't understand what a Leberkaese does on a buffet in the east of Germany, but never mind. ||||If you are Vegan though you are stuck, apart from some pale tomatoes ( missing sunshine maybe) and bread with a vast choice of jam. ||On my request for Soya milk I got a blank look and the suggestion for lactose free milk.........,(at least she gave it a try) baked beans or potatoes - no way, however, in the end we settled for a Porridge. ||I must say that the coffee was excellent! The staff though was not very friendly and the table was never cleared. ||||At the Artus Keller I ordered Asparagus with potatoes - the potatoes did not seem fresh or in any case a very poor quality or re-heated. ||Also the Fischerhus, was not really a positive culinary experience - but the waiter was friendly.||||The so called Junior Suite was VERY dusty. I wrote a message on the mirror for the Housekeeper to clean it and informed Reception! ||Things like this can happen, but that I did not get any form of apology is not acceptable! ||||The bill was not correct on checkout, I had to point that some items were missing. ||||What disturbed me also was that there was no assistance for luggage considering the entrance stairs - and obviously it was not pointed out that one can take a trolley on the lower floor, exit from a back door and use the elevator.||The staff in the smoking Bar were very well prepared and friendly. ||||They all seem small things, but combined it was a...

Albeit having been checked in for a room 2rd floor at the annex of Schlosshotel (castle hotel) Klink, called "Orangerie", you get the ducal feeling immediately. As soon as you turn right to the castle in Klink from the German national road B 192 direction Waren/Mueritz you will surely say "wow, what a cool building and impressive lakeview". And you can really expect neat things to encounter. The hotel facility comprises 3 parts, a house with luxury rooms (left hand side) from the castle, the castle building itself with four restaurants and the 'Orangerie" (right hand side), viewed from the driveway (entrance) when you arrive. There are lots of free parking lots available. But, beware of some stupid drivers with small vehicles who waste parking space, and day tourists -not hotel guests- who arrive with their bicycles attached to the car also limit parking space available. Next bigger town for running errands is Waren, some miles away from Klink (turn right on B 192). All major supermarkets are present, Aldi, Lidl, Sky, Netto West, Netto East, Famila etc pp. First hub for gassing up is Shell's bistro and gas station, available for LPG (autogas) and all sorts of fuel (Mueritz Center).||Guests whose accomodation is in the luxury parts of the premises have their breakfast buffet at restaurant "Garten Eden", else you get your "full American and German breakfast buffet" at ground floor level. Experience the selection yourself and you will be "gobsmacked". Wellness is also part of your vacation, right? Then you will have the opportunity (on subfloor basement = also connection to castle building) to swim in the indoor-pool (85 °F) and relax indoors or outdoors, different saunas (free) and wellness applications (to pay for) are available. The location with lakeview is really amazing. Tranquility is guaranteed. Rooms have phone, flat-screen TV, either balcony or porches, and are spacy with bathroom WC/shower (no microwave or minibar). Vending machine for soft drinks and Becks beer (2€) is located on ground floor (stairways). ||Enjoy your...

We stayed 2 nights over a December weekend. We were in the new wing in a dog-friendly large suite overlooking the lake, with a large balcony; it was a bit too cold to sit out on the balcony, but the view of the lake through the floor-to-ceiling sliding door windows was lovely. The decoration and furnishing of the suite is a bit dull and 80s, but there was masses of space, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom huge. ||We had Gluhwein in front of the roaring fire in the old building served by the friendly waiter, and walked the dog along the lakeside path at sunset.||Dinner is served in the basement restaurant of the old building; the starter of prawns with fresh salad leaves was especially good! Breakfast is served in the atrium of the new wing, and the buffet is impressive, including a carvery and sparkling wine.||We spent our first day visiting the local bear sanctuary, the pretty town of Plau am See, and a Christmas market in Fleesensee. We had Gluhwein back on the hotel terrace overlooking the lake (lovely!), and ate in the American style diner run by the hotel in an adjacent building (massive portions!). We chose not to use the hotel spa and pool during our stay, preferring to explore the area.||On our last day we hired bicycles from the helpful reception staff at the hotel, and cycled along the lovely lakeside and countryside cycle path to Sietow-dorf and back. The dog loved it, and so did we! After another Gluhwein in front of the fire in the hotel, we headed...
