A-ROSA Kurhaus Binz

Great location right on the beach promenade. Exceptional breakfast. Rooms were comfortable. The cons: Parking. No transparency in pricing. It was not mentioned at checkin that parking costs an extra €19 per day, so it was a complete surprise when it appeared on the final bill. When challenged, we were told it is always the case to charge. Why not just include it in the room rates? Swimming pool (indoor). Just too cold to use. The bar. Seemed understaffed. The same person was also dealing with the nearby restaurant which meant at times there was no-one there. As a result, ordering a simple beer took much longer than it should have done.

I enjoyed my stay at Kurhaus Binz very much. Everybody at the hotel was nice, breakfast was exceptional, and the location was great.

Super dejligt hotel. Mangler lidt koordinering i receptionen, men det er det eneste "negative" i forhold til vores ophold.

Kurhaus Binz is without a doubt "the grand old lady" in so-charming Binz, on the beautiful island of Rügen on Germany's Baltic coast - established more than 100 years ago, situated at the very heart of the town, hardly a stone's throw away from the sea with its nearly 400 metre long pier and equally appealingly sandy beach. We - two couples at fully-grown age - spent three lovely days and nights at Kurhaus Binz in late April. Delights were abundant: Excellent rooms with balconies towards the waterfront (utterly pleasant to go to sleep and then wake up to the gentle backdrop of ocean waves!). Truly exquisite breakfasts, with hardly anything else to wish for, e.g. including sparkling wine as well as several seafood specialities, in addition to the usual fare of scrambled eggs end the like. Also a delicious dinner one evening, a generous mixed fish platter with trimmings which we (all of us seafood lovers!) found absolutely gorgeous. And not least the pleasant Kakadu bar with its friendly barman, where we enjoyed more than one nightcap. And surely not to be forgotten, the impressive in-house spa where some of us swam both in- and outdoors in the vast pool and were also treated to a unique chalk-clay-cum-tea-etc experience (at a quite reasonable price). Also, arriving by car as we were did we found ample space both at the back of the hotel and in the underground garage with convenient lift access to our rooms. And, very last, very nice indeed to receive a bottle of German sekt at out departure, as this happened to take place on my birthday (well spotted, many thanks indeed!). So why not 5 stars??? Well, for one reason only, Namely the reception desk. Hardly ever in later decades have we met such disinterested people as those we encountered at Kurhaus Binz' reception desk - not once, not twice, but all three times (with three different persons) that we had reason to contact them. They surely performed their paperwork duties (extensive they seemed), but did they ever even look at their guests? Maybe, maybe not. Did they ever offer a smile or a friendly word? No! To us they appeared almost as machines, putting their paperwork as a very unchallenged number one, followed by no number two, the poor customer resolutely put as distant number threes (or lower). Had it been one person, this would have seemed to be a personal matter. With three out of three, it appears more generic. One of us, who has a background in hotel business, noted that the reception is something of "the sales window of a hotel". So, after our generally so sweet stay at Kurhaus Binz, we nevertheless wonder: How do you want that sales window to look?

Sehr gutes Frühstück….. Leider war der Zimmerservice extrem oberflächlich. Die Kopfkissen lagen am Abend so wie ich sie morgens hingelegt habe, also wild durcheinander. In guten Hotels werden die Handtücher im Bad nich sauber zusammengelegt. Der volle Abfalleimer wurde nicht geleert. Der Balkon und der Tisch auf dem Balkon waren stark verschmutzt. Über dem Balkon waren zahlreiche Spinnweben. Der dunklen Farbe nacg waren diese schon älter. Damit war der Balkon kein Ort an dem man sich gerne aufhält aber teuer bezahlen muss. Diesen Umstand wollte ich der zuständigen Managerin zeigen. Das hat die Dame mit dem Vermerk „ich habe keine Zeit“ abgelehnt. Wir waren schon ca. 10 Mal im Kurhaus zu Gast. Das wird wohl unser letzten Urlaub im Kurhaus gewesen sein. Es gibt in Binz sicher Hotels, die mehr Wert auf Sauberkeit gelegt wird.

Sehr gutes Hotel in Strandlage in Binz/Rügen. Schöne Zimmer, sehr gute Betten, super Frühstück. Parkplatz bzw. Tiefgarage vorhanden. Schwimm- und Saunelandschaft großzügig angelegt incl Innen-und Außenpool. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Sehr viele gute Restaurants in der näheren Umgebung, falls man nicht im Haus essen möchte.
