"If you're from the US, know that the cielings are high and the stairs are curved and long. Don't take a large suitcase, I'm 70 and just getting up 2 flights was a struggle. The staff did carry my suitcase for me and I'm very grateful. The room was nice and the bed and shower wonderful. We didn't try the breakfast and the covered parking is a block away, but we were able to unload by the door."

"Great property for a night or two in Lubeck. Right off the main square and next to MarienKirche. Uber can drop off and pick up right at the front door. Only drawbacks are the lack of space for luggage in the rooms and the fact that the church’s bells do ring on the quarter hour all night long. We had our window cracked so that probably made them louder."
