We booked this hotel at short notice during Kiel Week. Overall, our stay was satisfactory and met an average standard. The staff were consistently friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

The rooms, however, are showing their age and would benefit from refurbishment. On the particularly warm days during our stay, we really missed having air conditioning, which made the experience less comfortable.

Breakfast was acceptable but rather basic. The selection could have been more extensive - for example, there was no bacon with the scrambled eggs and no orange juice available.

The location is excellent, with easy access to the Kiellinie, the main train station, and the city center.

Wi-Fi is only available after registering for the H Rewards loyalty program, which we found rather unusual and unnecessary.

For our short, last-minute stay, the hotel was adequate. However, we would only choose it again if no better alternative were available.

The Intercity Hotel is in an excellent location right by the train station. I was in Kiel to take a cruise and the cruise shuttle bus parked beside it and the old town was also in walking distance. The room was comfortable and the breakfast room was great with a very good selection and views of the harbour and the cruise ships. The front staff were exceptionally couteous, friendly and helpful with things like storing my suitcase for a few hours.

Clean, nice and quite hotel. Nice staff. No bar or restaurant so perfect for work travels or if you’re passing by. Just outside the central station and harbour and in the city centre. Close to restaurants and shopping. A bit suspect people outside but that’s how it is close to central stations, but felt safe because of police presence.

forlænget weekend

forlænget weekend, hotellet ligger godt, gå afstand til hele centrum, og med Sophienhof shopping center lige overfor, og banegården som nabo. Vi havde udsigt over inderhavnen, dejligt. Parkering lige ved siden af i cinemaxX parkeringshus, blot kør op på niveau 4, der er masser af intercity hotel pladser, koster 8 euro i døgnet, og elevator ned i hotellet, fint... Meget lille brusekabine på badeværelset. Vi havde bestilt et værelse med stor dobbeltseng, og fik det bekræftet, men på dagen vi skulle afsted fik vi at vide pr mail, at det i stedet blev et værelse med 2 enkeltsenge, som jo er noget kun smalle, så man vågner mange gange i løbet af natten, når man vender og drejer sig, det er ikke godt nok af hotellet, især når vi havde modtaget bekræftelse på et værelse med dobbeltseng, deres undskyldning var at hotellet var fuldt booket, dårligt dårligt dårligt Intercity hotel Kiel, vi booker et andet sted næste gang.

Good hotel - worth a stay!

Our stay was overall very nice.
We like the Intercity Hotel because of its central location, the free public transport passes and the view from the (better category) rooms towards the harbor.

Albeit: The parking facility, although convenient and fair-privced, is looking rather \"grunchy\" and the hotel needs some TLC as well (soon!). The elevator needs ages to arrive, is slow and can't handle the passenger traffic at breakfast times.

BUT: We will come again!

Great hotel, located next door to the Hauptbahnhof and as with all InterCity Hotels comes with a free ticket for the public transport for the length of the stay. I had a room overlooking the Kieler Forden (Kiel Fjord) which was very quiet. Room are quite large with a comfy bed - though the pillows are a little limp and they insist on putting two single duvets on a double bed. Breakfasts were good with lots of choice and the restaurant also overlooked the fjord

No air conditioning, then when I opened the window it barely opened; they closed it when they came through to clean it which made it even hotter and finally, when the window was open all I could hear were noises from the train station and drunks partying near the train station, yelling, drinking, bottles clinking - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE AND IT IS NOT A HOTEL WORTHY OF A 4 RATING

very good hotel near to railway station

Hotel was very clean and modern. Breakfast was excellent. There is a good view of the Kiel Canal. Hotel is in close proximity to shops, bars and restaurants and conveniently near to the railway station. The one disappointment was that Expedia advertised a shuttle service to Hamburg Airport but the hotel did not know it existed and that I should contact Expedia. We eventually paid 82 euros for the bus ride to the airport. Surely there should be more communication between hotel and Expedia regarding the shuttle bus service. This was the reason we booked in at the hotel for one night with the advantage of transport to the airport which was included in the price of the hotel stay. Otherwise everything else was perfect. What has Expedia to say about this?

Ich persönlich würde das Hotel nicht empfehlen. Das Zimmer war nicht sauber, Haare im Bett und auf den Ablagen, der Duschkopf war vergilbt, der Türrahmen dreckig, Kalk im Bad und in der Dusche, das Ablage Glas dreckig. Das Zimmer war sehr hellhörig, die Menschen im Flur hörte man ab früh morgens, ständig ein Durchzug Geräusch. Am Empfang wurde man beim einchecken nicht willkommen geheißen. Das Frühstück war eher mittelmäßig, für vegane Menschen so gut wie keine Alternativen, keine Ersatz Produkte (auf Nachfrage hätte man wohl welche bekommen), schöner wäre es, wenn diese einfach bereit stehen würden, das Buffet wurde nicht immer wieder nachgelegt, Filterkaffee war leer, Frisch- und Kräuterkäse ebenfalls und es wurde nicht nach gefüllt.
Die Lage ist super wenn man mit der Bahn reist, da es direkt neben dem Bahnhof ist.
Ich persönlich würde für den Preis ein anderes Hotel beim nächsten Mal aussuchen.
