Not the Dog-Friendly Hotel we were promised.
Posted 9 Aug 2024 on HotelsOur recent stay at Hotel zum Halbmond was a disappointment from the moment we walked through the door. Despite confirming twice that dogs were welcome—both over the phone and as advertised on their website—we were met with immediate hostility upon arrival. The staff member’s first words were, “I can’t have this dog here,” followed by a lengthy lecture on all the potential problems our dog might cause. It was clear that our dog was not as welcome as we had been led to believe.
When we suggested canceling our stay and receiving a refund, the staff member hesitated, clearly more concerned about losing our payment than providing good service. Reluctantly, he showed us to our room, continuing to complain and reiterate his earlier concerns. His attitude was anything but welcoming, and it was clear that hospitality was not his strong suit.
To make matters worse, the hotel itself was far from what we expected. The entrance area looked like a construction site, messy and uninviting—nothing like the images shown on their website. We quickly decided that this was not a place we wanted to spend even one night.
Thankfully, Hotel.com website was quick to assist us in securing a refund, and we left without further issue. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend Hotel zum Halbmond to anyone, especially those traveling with pets. Our advice to the hotel: improve your communication, learn what hospitality really means, and perhaps clean up the place a bit while you’re at it.

Die Zimmer mit Blick in den Garten kann ich nicht bewerten, aber die Zimmer mit Blick auf den Kanal sind absolut empfehlenswert. Ruhig gelegen, herrliche Aussicht, Personal freundlich, Check-In und Check-Out unkompliziert.

Decent hotel - but doesn’t match the price
Posted 31 Jul 2024 on HotelsThis is a nice hotel in a quiet town outside of Hamburg. The hotel has a nice location overlooking a river and has a great rooftop terrace that is really beautifully decorated. The staff is sweet and polite, nothing to put a finger on. The price the same level as other larger hotels and therefore you should expect similar quality and accommodation. Unfortunately the rooms are small even though they’re nice. The breakfast is really disappointing for a hotel even though it’s in the cheaper end for a breakfast. And bicycles were parked in the foyer. I believe they were still renovating the hotel when we were there but you just would not expect things like this from a hotel in that price range. We payed around EUR 150 for a night plus breakfast. I would stay in the hotel again, it’s not bad at all. But unless the breakfast is improved and the room I get is slightly bigger I would not be willing to pay this price.

Toller Panorama-Blick von den Terrassen/Balkonen
Posted 25 Jul 2024 on HotelsDas Haus ist mitten im Wohngebiet der Oberstadt und sehr ruhig.! Bist zur Altstadt am Wasser geht man ca. 1,5km mit ca. 40 Höhenmetern

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Uns wurde nicht nur gesagt, wo unser Zimmer ist, sondern wir wurden hingeführt. Das Zimmer war geräumig und sehr modern eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Bad ist richtig hübsch. Vom wirklich großzügigen Balkon hat man eine tolle Aussicht über den Elbe-Lübeck-Kanal. Terrassenmöbel für 2 Personen gibt es auch und eine tolle Liege. Zu Fuß ca.18 Minuten und man ist in der historischen Albstadt.
Das Frühstück ist schmackhaft und frisch. Uns hat der Aufenthalt im Hotel sehr gut gefallen und können das Hotel wirklich weiterempfehlen.
