We expected to be sleeping in the schloss itself, but unfortunately the family rooms are in another building. We waited a couple of minutes at the reception, some of the staff does not speak English at all. One of our rooms reeked of smoke, clearly the previous tenants smoked there heavily. We were given a different room on another floor, which was clean. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms rather old-fashioned, curtains are tiny. Breakfast was ok, but there were tiny flies everywhere, which was a bit gross. Beds were ok. The prices were low enough to justify this pretty mediocre experience, but it’s a shame because it looked like a really nice place in the pictures. The highlights: Schwerin is nearby, and the fantastic Asian restaurant just up the street from the hotel (barely 4 minutes walk).
