A good match for couples and families who want to walk everywhere in the Old Town. Family rooms are listed, and the large buffet breakfast gets strong praise.
First-time visitors gain the most here. Holsten Gate, St. Mary's Church and Lübeck Cathedral are all within about 6 minutes on foot.
Skip it if you want the lowest price in town. It also may not suit you if you dislike hard beds, because some guests report firm mattresses and double beds made of two joined singles.
Location and getting around
The address is Schmiedestraße 9-15, in the Innenstadt area, and the location score is 9.7.
Holsten Gate and St. Mary's Church are each about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. Lübeck Cathedral is about 0.5 km, around 6 minutes. These walking times are straight-line estimates, so expect a little more on real streets.
Guests describe a central spot in the Old Town near the pedestrian zone, markets and historic sights. For most visits you will not need transport inside the centre. If you arrive with a car, parking is not covered in our data, so ask the hotel.
What guests say
The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 3,342 reviews. That put it joint 1st of 6 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Two things come up again and again. The location, right in the Old Town, and the breakfast, a large buffet with a wide choice of fresh hot and cold items.
The main criticism concerns the beds. Most guests find them comfortable, but some mention hard mattresses and split double beds.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €152.10 per night. That is well above the sample median of €95.50. It is a reference, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Premier Inn Lübeck City Stadtgraben, is a 3-star hotel scoring 8.1 at €71 per night. Our Luxury pick, Radisson Blu Senator Hotel, Lübeck, is a 5-star hotel scoring 8.7 at €175.
So you pay about €23 a night less than the Radisson Blu and get a slightly higher guest score. Against the Premier Inn you pay roughly double, for a higher score and an Old Town address. Facilities listed include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 hotels in Lübeck. The Best Value slot weighs guest score, number of reviews and price together, so it is not necessarily the cheapest option.
This hotel came out on top because it shares the highest score in the sample, backed by over 3,000 reviews, and sits a few minutes from the sights most visitors come for.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check the room description, and if you need two separate mattresses or a single large one, ask the hotel.
Confirm whether breakfast is in your rate, since it is one of the main reasons guests like the place. If you drive, ask about parking options and cost before you arrive.
