ATLANTIC Hotel Kiel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
ATLANTIC Hotel Kiel is worth booking if you want the best-reviewed hotel in our Kiel sample, opposite the train station and a short walk from the harbour. It costs well above the city median, so budget travellers will do fine with our two cheaper picks.

This is our Luxury pick for Kiel, and it fits travellers arriving by train, people on business, and couples who like a big breakfast. Families can look at the listed family rooms. Guests single out the buffet breakfast, with fresh waffles, omelets and a wide variety of options.
Skip it if you want five-star trimmings. This is a four-star hotel that earned the Luxury slot on its score. If a rooftop bar is a key reason to book, note that guests say it is frequently closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Location and getting around
The address is Raiffeisenstr. 2, and the location score is 9.4 out of 10. Guests describe it as opposite the train station and a short walk to the harbour and city centre, which makes arrivals and departures easy.
The Kiel Maritime Museum is about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. Kiel Castle is about 1.1 km, around 14 minutes, and Kunsthalle Kiel is about 1.6 km, around 20 minutes. All three are walkable. These are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 2,093 reviews, joint 1st of 9 eligible properties in the provider sample. That is the highest guest score among the hotels we compared in Kiel.
Two things stand out in reviews: the location by the station and the breakfast buffet. The main complaint concerns the rooftop bar, which guests say offers harbour views and cocktails but is often closed on Sundays and Mondays. Plan your evenings around that if it matters to you.
Price and how it compares with our other Kiel picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €217.35 per night. The sample median was about €125.50, so you pay a clear premium. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Kiel-Schwedenkai, was €83.74 per night with a score of 8.2 and 3 stars. Our Best Value pick, unique by ATLANTIC Hotels Kiel, was €119.03 per night with 8.6 and 3 stars. The step up here buys a fourth star, the best score in the sample, a restaurant, gym and terrace. Whether that is worth almost €100 a night more than the Best Value pick depends on how much time you plan to spend in the hotel. Breakfast is listed as buffet, but inclusion in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Kiel. Five-star hotels get priority for the Luxury slot, and a four-star fallback must score at least 8.5. ATLANTIC Hotel Kiel is an official four-star with 8.8, the top score in the sample, so it cleared that bar comfortably.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is in your rate and what the cancellation terms are. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed, so read recent reviews if they matter. If you want to use the rooftop bar, check its opening days for your dates. The property is tagged as pet-friendly, but confirm the terms and any fee directly.
