It's off the main island of Lübeck - a 10 minute walk to the Holstentor. Breakfast buffet was included.

Parking is available - there are about a dozen spots free in front of the hotel, and an honor system garage for 10€ a night. Hotel access is by a steep flight of about 8 steps - hauling luggage is annoying. All in all though, I liked it. Like I said, old school. Nothing hipster at all.
