Strandbad Ferch

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast is very good with a large variety of items. The interior is aesthetically pleasing, especially the dining area is very beautiful. The setting is wonderful with a lot of green and the Teltow Kanal right along the property. Listening to the birds outside through the open window in the morning was wonderful! Otherwise, the room was very quiet with only a few sounds coming from outside the door during my stay. To my surprise there was a massage chair in my room! Overall I would highly recommend this facility! There were a few things I would mention though. The side of the bathtub, where the shower is located, is very high with only limited places to hold onto, and the bottom of the bathtub is very slippery. I suggest getting an accessible room if you don't want the risk of slipping when getting in and out of the bathtub. Parking was difficult due to some cars being parked in two spaces and overall not enough parking spaces being available, especially during events or conferences. The secondary lot on site gets very muddy in the corners. When the second lot was also full, I had to park across the street in a time limited parking area. This happened several times during my stay. Thankfully I did not get a ticket! The bed linens are washed with a perfumed detergent. Consider requesting hypoallergenic linens for people who are sensitive to perfumes or strong detergents.

Pool. Is extra, parking is extra, buffet breakfast very good.

Hotel is in a great, central location for exploring restaurants and monuments. It was comforting having 24 hour front desk staff and the bar/restaurant staff are excellent. The saunas and wellness area were clean and well attended to. Would be helpful to have more than just cardio equipment in the gym. The junior suite was ok. The view was nice with the courtyard BUT #1 The fridge in the room smelled of urine so strong that if you opened it the room was swamped. We advised the front desk of this multiple times but nothing was done so we were unable to use the fridge for 6 days and were not able to drink the included beverages due to the stench. #2 The king bed is actually two small twin beds and regardless of size, this was the most uncomfortable bed(s) we have EVER experienced as a couple in their 30’s who has travelled to multiple countries. #3 We stripped our bed to ensure it would be cleaned (as cleaning only happens if you remember to request it the day before) and discovered the most disgusting mattress cover that had clearly been soiled multiple times and never washed (It was replaced after we removed it) #4 The hotel was quiet until the morning when the cleaning crew showed up and had zero respect for the guests by letting every door slam or having doors propped open with the tv blasting for all to hear. This is definitely not a luxury property as advertised. 6/10.
