If you didn't know it before, Alte Werft reminds you that Papenburg is all about ships! But they do it in a "not too overdone" way. Their rooms are a good size and well outfitted. The decor is a little dated and you'll pay for internet but honestly, when you meet the staff and enjoy their breakfast and brunch, all that fades away. The service there is warm and welcoming. Being here on business for a month, I visited a number of hotels in the area and of them, AW was the best service and friendliest staff. Newer more modern chain properties were "polite" but the AW staff (especially the breakfast buffet team) were great and made me feel welcome, remembered my breakfast preferences and accommodated unusual needs. The property is centrally located on Haupte Kanal Richt and within quick walking didtance to shops, restaurants and groceries
They have a great brunch on Sundays at 11:30am (21 Euro pp) when all other area restaurants are closed or only serving cake.
For my money, time and peace of mind- Alte Werft gets my vote and my business.
