We stayed just one night at this hotel, but I could easily imagine extending the stay — the rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed with a perfect mix of elegance and modern style. Everything felt fresh and well cared for, making it a very comfortable place to relax. Parking was pre-booked in the hotel courtyard, and I loved the thoughtful touch of having our surname displayed on the reserved spot — it felt personal right from the start. At €10 per day, it was convenient and fairly priced. Breakfast was a highlight of our short stay. There was plenty of variety, with everything fresh and well-prepared. The bread rolls were still warm, and the croissants were perfectly crisp and flaky. The two young women working in the breakfast area were attentive without being intrusive, checking in to see if everything was fine. They even lit a candle on our beautifully set table, which added such a cozy and special touch to the morning atmosphere. We didn’t use the spa area or the pool since we were only there for one night. The pool was closed for maintenance, but we had already read about it on Booking.com when making our reservation, and the hotel had also informed us in advance — clear communication that we appreciated. Overall, even though it was a brief visit, the combination of comfort, thoughtful service, and attention to detail left a great impression. We would be happy to return — not only to the hotel, but also to the beautiful and charming town of Friedrichstadt.

Aquarium is our home away from home when we go to northern Germany. We have been coming back here for over 15 years. Aquarium never disappoints. Placed in the heart of Friedrichstadt the hotel is smack in the middle of absolute charming surroundings. The private parking is very appreciated and makes it easy to visit the hotel. The asparagus dishes are amazing and the rooms are wonderful - a perfect blend of renovated modern facilities and preserved old charm that match the soul of the surrounding city. We love this place.

What makes us come back again and again: the consistent feeling of always being welcome and so appreciated as guests - plus the beauty inside the hotel and in the city around it.

Everything was nice about this place, the breakfast, the room and the employees, everything^^

We had room 111 and the weather was 22-25 celsius. The room was therefore pretty warm in itself and there was no air-conditioning. So for the love of god, If you're in the same situation, go down and ask for a fan.

The hotel is in a nice historic location. The personnel is offering exceptional hospitality both in the restaurant and in the hotel. First we got a room where the window didn't close properly (otherwise the room was absolutely lovely), so we talked to the lady at the reception who immediately offered us another room (actually it was an upgrade). Also, we enjoyed the spa facilities: the sauna area and the pool were very clean and comfortable. The food and drinks in the restaurant are of the highest quality. No doubt this hotel was the best choice in Friedrichstadt.

Nothing.

It was a rather nice atmosphere at the hotel, spacious room an very tidy. The restaurant was nice, and the breakfast was really good. Extremely friendly staff

This is minor, but the stair was a bit steep. And we saw no elevator.

The swimming pool, fitness room and sauna were excellent.. Our room was comfortable and spacious. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect.

We would have dined in house but it was a Monday and there wasn't a vegetarian option. And the WiFi wasn't secured.

Very friendly staff and owners. Location is central, but still quiet enough to have some peace when needed. Breakfast was quite good, lot's of good options. At first I was in a normal double room, then extended my stay by one night in one of the suites. If you can, take a suite. I liked it a lot, especially the view was nice (third floor).

The location, the pool and the sauna, the elegant hall, the calm at this place, town...

Restaurant was closed that night for dinner after 18h. There,s no light enough to read a book at bed.

A lovely hotel in a very nice setting, with trees and a canal passing outside the front aspect. Helpful staff and a good breakfast in a spacious dining area.

Breakfast was good, but expensive. The location was excellent.

The shower cube was a bit small and not easy to get in. No lift.
