Top Essel Hotel Reviews

HotelHafenWedel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a nice stay at the hotel. The views of the Elbe were beautiful. And the location was convenient. The restaurant attached to the hotel serves delicious Italian food and there is a great bar/wurst stand on the premises."

Heidenauer Hotel im Park

10/10 Excellent

"good hotel. this is the best"

Hotel Diamant

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Hotel Diamant for five nights and was thoroughly impressed by the service and maintenance. This hotel preserves a wonderful, old-world charm that contemporary hotels often miss.The rooms are compact but excellently organized to be functional and utilitarian. Everything is kept absolutely spotless. A massive plus is that the rooms are cleaned and beds are made every single day by default—refreshingly choosing guest comfort over corporate cost-cutting trends. The bathroom was equally clean and well-maintained.The breakfast spread is healthy, tasty, and features very fresh, mostly local farm produce rather than an extravagant, wasteful buffet. The two staff members running it are briskly efficient, managing everything smoothly despite the tight interior space.Overall, the service here is quiet, seamless, and highly efficient without the chaotic rush of corporate staff. If you appreciate clean, no-nonsense comfort and authentic European hospitality, this is a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommended! Walking distance from Wedel station. And if you stay here do visit the Willkomm Höft. It’s truly unique in maritime traditions."

Spektakulärer Elbblick Direkt Aufs Wasser aus der Wohnung Oder von den Balkonen

10/10 Excellent

"Alles bestens, schöne Wohnung toller Blick auf die Elbe.Nettes Haus und Nachbarn mit eigenen Parkplatz gute Verbindung nach Hamburg mit Bus und Fähre."

10/10 Excellent

"Sehr gemütliche Atmosphäre, hervorragendes ausgestattet Thesz, Haus für Freundes- und Familienfeiern ideal !"

Cottage for 12 people near the river in Kleinwörden (Hechthausen)

10/10 Excellent

"Wir hatten mit unserer Familie zwei wunderschöne Nächte in diesem Ferienhaus. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und bietet zusammen mit dem großen Garten viel Platz. Die ruhige Umgebung lädt zum Entspannen ein. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und kommen gerne wieder."

Lütt Diekhus - Holiday home on the dike on the river "Lühe" in the Altes Land

10/10 Excellent

"Sehr sauber und gepflegte Wohnung über zwei Etagen. Gut ausgestattete Küche. Sehr nette und unkomplizierte Vermieter. Toller kleiner Garten zur eigenen Nutzung. Ich habe da super lesen können. Schöne Fahrradtouren an der Elbe oder durch Obstbaumfelder möglich. Fahrradabstellmöglichkeit vorhanden. Parken vorm Haus möglich wenn gewünscht. Alles gut erreichbar für Eigenversorgung. S-Bahn nach Hamburg/Stade in fünf Autominuten erreichbar. Das Bad war für uns leider schwierig weil es keine richtige Dusche gibt und man ein wenig in der Wanne improvisieren muss. Aber das war kaum der Rede wert. Wer gerne badet hat da sowieso kein Problem. Die Wendeltreppe ist ein echter Hingucker. Man muss aber körperlich mobil sein. Gerne wieder."

Zur Mühle - Hotel am Fleth

10/10 Excellent

"What a spectscular view! Nice staff and big room for a very reasonable rate. Highly recommend"

Pension Ziemann

10/10 Excellent

"The location was good for our needs close to shops the room was of good standard and clean staff were very helpful"
