Faldernpoort
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.
Faldernpoort is worth booking if you want a 4-star base in Emden with a well-liked buffet breakfast and the lowest price of our three picks. If a strong guest score matters more to you than saving money, the other two hotels on our list rate higher.

This is our Budget pick for Emden. It fits couples and short-stay visitors who want a 4-star hotel, a restaurant on site and a breakfast that guests keep praising, without paying the city's higher rates.
Families may also find it practical. The property lists family rooms and free parking, and its profile is tagged as pet friendly. Check the pet policy and any fee directly before you travel with an animal.
Skip it if bathroom details bother you. The most common complaint is a lack of shelf space and low water pressure in the shower. If you want the best-rated hotel in town, look at Hotel am Delft instead.
Location and getting around
The address is Courbièrestr. 6. Guests describe it as a short walk to the town centre and the harbour, and the location score is 8.2 out of 10.
Kunsthalle Emden is about 1.1 km away, roughly 14 minutes on foot. The Leaning Tower of Suurhusen is 5.6 km out, around 70 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on public transport, a taxi or your own car for that trip.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified on the ground. Real routes can take longer.
What guests say
Across 1,552 reviews, the hotel scores 8.1 out of 10. That is a solid result, though it puts Faldernpoort third of the three hotels we compared on guest score.
Breakfast is the clear highlight. Guests talk about an abundant buffet with a wide choice of fresh items, including salmon and fruit. The walk into town and to the harbour also gets good comments.
On the negative side, bathrooms are described as modern and clean, yet short on shelf space, and several guests mention weak water pressure. Nothing in the data tells us about room size or noise, so those remain open questions.
Price and how it compares
In our check, Faldernpoort cost €128.25 per night, about €256.50 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room. They are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
That rate was about 12% below the median of €146.13 for the hotels we sampled. Upstalsboom Parkhotel, our Best Value pick, was €146.13 a night with a score of 8.2. Hotel am Delft, our Luxury pick, was €215.74 a night and scores 9.4.
So the gap to the Best Value option is small, around €18 a night, for a very similar score. The Luxury pick costs about €87 more per night but has a much stronger guest rating.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 3 eligible hotels in Emden. Faldernpoort had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, which made it the Budget pick.
It also brings a 4-star rating, a large review base of 1,552 guests and a buffet breakfast that people single out. For a budget slot, that is a reasonable package.
Before you book
Confirm whether breakfast is included in the rate you choose, since that has not been checked. The same goes for cancellation terms, room size and noise.
If you plan to park, check that parking is still free for your dates. If you bring a pet, ask about rules and any charge.
Facilities such as the restaurant and terrace are listed by the property, but opening times can vary in November. A quick message to the hotel will settle it.
