Hotel Carolinenhof falls into that camp of being ‘fine’, there being nothing inherently wrong with it but nothing absolutely right either. The staff are friendly, the rooms are large and spotlessly clean but they’re also bare and completely lacking in any kind of soft furnishings, design or tactile finishes designed to make you feel comfortable. Breakfast is mainly continental, some pre-prepped eggs but primarily breads, hams, cheeses, spreads, fruits and cereals, with homemade items too, including cakes, so that was fine. Only basic coffee and team unless you wish to pay extra. All in all, if you manage to book at a good price, it’s a decent place to overnight. If you prefer the ‘hotel’ experience, then Premier Inn is similarly priced, similarly located and a whole lot more 2024.
