PLAZA Premium Timmendorfer Strand
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.
Worth booking if you want a four-star base with a pool, spa and a large breakfast buffet at the lowest price among our three picks. Skip it if you hate paying extra for parking, dinner and bar drinks, because guests say those fees are high.

This is our Budget choice for Timmendorfer Strand, but it is not a bare-bones hotel. It has four stars and lists a gym, a spa and wellness centre, a pool, a restaurant, family rooms, a garden and a terrace. It is tagged as pet friendly and family friendly, which suits couples or families who want indoor options in November.
It is less suited to travellers who want the highest guest score in town, or who will eat and drink at the hotel every night. Guests flag the cost of meals, drinks and parking as the main complaint, so the low room rate can creep up.
Location and getting around
The address is An der Waldkapelle 26, in the area listed as the top-rated area in Timmendorfer Strand. Guests rate the location 8.1 out of 10. A beach appears in the provider facilities list, but that does not confirm a beachfront position or a walking distance to the sand. Check the map if being close to the water matters to you.
The two attractions in our data, Hansa-Park and The Oath of Kärnan, are both about 7.9 km away. That is roughly 99 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate, so it is far: plan on public transport or a taxi. Walking times have not been verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.0 out of 10 from 6,768 guest reviews. That is a large sample, but it placed fourth of the four hotels we compared on review score.
Breakfast gets the most praise: an extensive buffet with hot and cold options, including fresh omelets. Listed styles are continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, American and buffet. The indoor pool is the other highlight, described as large, with atmospheric lighting and plenty of room to swim.
The weak point is extra costs. Guests mention high fees for on-site parking, restaurant meals and drinks at the bar.
Price compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put this hotel at €137.40 per night, 6% below the €146.18 median of the hotels we sampled. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, The Cozy Hotel & Lofts Timmendorfer Strand, was €152.75 per night with four stars and a 9.1 score. Our Luxury pick, Grand Hotel Seeschlösschen Sea Retreat & SPA, was €221.20, five stars and 8.3. The gap to the Best Value option is only about €15 a night for a much higher score, so compare both on your dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 4 eligible hotels in Timmendorfer Strand. After setting aside the upscale choice, this one had the lowest eligible reference price. It also brings a pool, spa and gym, which the cheapest option in a seaside town does not always offer, and 6,768 reviews make its score dependable.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the rate conditions, since breakfast inclusion changes the real cost.
Ask about the parking fee if you drive, and check spa and pool opening times and any charges. If you bring a pet, confirm the rules and fee with the hotel.
