the niu Welly

From name to interior, niu Welly tells a story inspired by the location and zeitgeist, as is typical of niu. A little tip on the side: Welly means rubber boots and is a must-have in Kiel! And everything else in our niu Welly revolves around life at the harbour and the sea. Maritime motifs such as seagulls, the sea and sailors are omnipresent and yet interpreted without any seafaring kitsch. Because in niu Welly, a fresh breeze blows around your nose. The design is thoroughly styled in a seafaring ambience with Nordic elements and materials such as solid wood, paddles and portholes, and combines these innovatively with surprisingly urban highlights that turn the hotel into an Instagrammable seafaring setting for you.

Very comfortable hotel

We stayed here for 2 nights with our kids aged 11. Very nice hotel, very clean and centrally located. Good rooms that are nicely decorated. Very good value for money. Extremely friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this hotel in Kiel.

Steigenberger Conti Hansa

The Steigenberger Conti Hansa is located in the heart of Kiel, directly opposite the Ostseekai and Kiel Fjord. It is only 1 km from the motorway and 85 km from Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel airport and yet is in an oasis of peace. This is the best way to enjoy the mixture of metropolitan and maritime atmosphere, that makes Kiel unique. The Steigenberger Conti Hansa combines first-class living comfort with an elegant atmosphere. The furnishings of the 164 hotel rooms and suites, which include for example cable and Sky channels, radio, telephone and a minibar, meet the highest standards. The furnishings are dominated by fine woods and warm, friendly colours - some of the rooms are in a modern, Nordic-maritime style. A perfect ambience to switch off and relax - no matter whether you have a stimulating trip to the city or a successful work meeting behind you.

OK, but nothing special

Reviewed By avkavk

I booked through the hotel chains's own website and asked for a quiet room away from the elevators, but got a room right by the elevators on the second floor facing a busy road. I didn't have the energy to argue with them, but why? The hotel was nowhere near full... Otherwise the rooms are what you expect. But I will try another hotel in Kiel next time. The restaurant is nothing special, so eat somewhere else. Covid notes: The hotel staff seemed careful and were wearing masks, but the restaurant staff didn't. Many guests did not wear masks when getting food from the breakfast buffet.

Clean, but expensive for what you get

Reviewed By F3507RGstanb

Before arriving the hotel sent me over 10 emails asking if I'd like to upgrade the room. I felt a bit spammed. The hotel is clean, location is perfect, close to everything. If you travel with the car, you should know that parking at the hotel is 20€ per night, but 200 meter away you can find the Gablenzbrücke parking lot, which only cost 3€. The cleaning crew is quite impolite, they keep opening our room door after we said "nein danke". The mattress is very soft. Even though we booked the room with the double bed. We still got two single beds put together in the end. And for anyone traveling with dogs, they charge 20€ per night for the dog.

Too loud to stay

Reviewed By Matilda F

Location: Well-located when you come by car and mostly go to the beach early and occasionally walk into town. Room: I had a single which was big enough and had sufficient shelf room for storing stuff for a week. Bonus was a fridge (empty and really cold for a hotel fridge). Windows did open. Major dislike: Extremely loud, even for a hotel (I stay around 200 nights/year in hotels): the door closed like gunshots, several (all?) doors around me did that. Not possible to sleep and even disturbing during the day. In the end I spend the evening and night with ear plugs. Other dislikes: No lift (4 stories).

Hotel Berliner Hof

You will feel comfortable in the hotel Berliner Hof which has been in the family since it was established in 1902. The accommodation is located in a side street in the center of the city only a minute away from the train station. The pedestrian zone with the roofed over shopping arcade "Sophienhof" and the "MeridianSpa", is in close proximity. Since 2014 we are a non-smoker hotel. We look forward to your visit! Dear hotel guests, Unfortunately, from the 9th of April, our parking lot in the courtyard will be unusable for a longer period. Due to construction of the neighbors on the property, we can no longer use the parking lot. To ensure that you can still reach your car quickly and safely, you can park your vehicle for a fee in the Parkhaus Sophienhof (see picture below) in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. Around the clock you receive at the front desk parking tickets, the passage height in the parking garage is 1.95m.

Excellent hotel right in the center of Kiel

Reviewed By travelguyid_96

I was one of several crews of Mein Schiff 1 who stayed here for one night prior to embarkation at Kiel in early December. I stayed in room 103 which is single bed room, and for a room for only one person this is a pretty good room. The desk is very wide so you can put lots of your stuffs in there. They also offer you two bottles of water in the mini fridge but I didn't try them since it cost a money. The bathroom is quite spacious and has a heater as well just like in the room. The wardrobe is a little bit small to hang your clotches, but I think that's enough for one person. Wifi was excellent and very stable, so no complaints about that. The on-site restaurant where they provide us breakfast, lunch and dinner was nice. There are not many choice available for us but I have no complaints about them and that's just enough for all of us; overall the food tasted good. The staffs in there were also quite helpful. The lobby area isn't that big but it's comfortable enough. They also provide coffee and tea next to the front desk, but unfortunately the hot water wasn't available because the machine wasn't working during our stay. There is also a bar upstair but I didn't look at it since it was closed. Staffs were very friendly and helpful, and they always remind us to wear mask at all times everytime we were in the public areas, since it was mandatory due to the pandemic. Finally, the location is good. It is just within a walking distance to the train station and the Sophienhof shopping center which is just right behind it. Further walking down about 10 or 15 minutes you can reach the shopping streets with various shops, including a TKMaxx, Saturn and Woolworth stores. Overall it was a great stay, and I'd recommend it.

Für Kreuzfahrten super!

Reviewed By Tim7007

Um am Tag der Ausschiffung Stress zu ersparen entschieden wir uns einen Tag früher anzureisen und in diesem super zentralen Hotel unter zu kommen! Aus unserer Sicht absolut empfehlenswert. Gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis, exzellente Lage, moderne und saubere Zimmer! Einzig das Frühstück könnte etwas besser sein. Das Personal war stets freundlich und aufmerksam. So soll es sein! Auch für einen generell kurzen Sightseeingtrip nach Kiel empfiehlt sich dieses Hotel. Der Ostseekai ist fußläufig ähnlich schnell mit ca. 15 Min zu erreichen wie auch der Hauptbahnhof! Wir kommen gerne noch einmal wieder! Herzlichen Dank!
