Park Hotel Bremen - Bremen, Germany     

Just back from a long weekend in Bremen and it was a fantastic experience. I went with my wife and my 3 year old son (it was his first trip away) and could not have had a better time. We had a standard double room which was massive with flat screen tv in the room and the bathroom, it was nice to have BBC1 as well as the usual channels. When we went into our room late on Friday night we found slippers, bathrobes and a teddy bear laid out on our sons bed which was probably the highlight of the weekend for him!!! The hotel setting is very scenic, lots of nice park walks around it but its also not very far from the main train station and the centre of town, easily within walking distance. We had a meal in the hotel on Saturday night which was very, very good - a steak done to perfection and, again, they provided pencils and paper for my son. On Bremen itself, I found it a very nice town to walk around - I particularly enjoyed the Schlect area down by the river - and, importantly, they absolutely love kids!!

Sourced this hotel through this website and very much lived up to its billing. As evidenced by the photo, the hotel is located in beautiful setting, surrounded by the lake and park. The hotel is also within close proximity to the city centre, easily reached by foot. The room we stayed in was spacious with all mod cons, minibar, bathrobes, slippers etc. I think the only item missing as noted on earlier review is tea/coffee making facilities. Then again, the coffee in Germany is so good that that drinking instant probably would not have done it any justice. Probably the highlight for me was the Spa'rks wellness centre. We didn't partake of any of the treatments due to time constraints, however we spent time in the centre on both days and it was well worth the visit. The centre is fully equipped with various sauna, steam rooms etc and very tastefully designed and kitted out. All in all a very relaxing experience and one of the nicest wellness centres I've ever been in. We ate breakfast at the hotel and found the variety and quality of the food to be excellent. The staff at the hotel were also extremely courteous and friendly. All in all a very enjoyable experience and would recommend this hotel to others.
