Hotel Wulff

Booked an overnight stay at the Hotel Wulff. A back massage, dinner and use of the in-house swimming pool and sauna were included in the price. 135 euros per person. It is a 3 star hotel, you shouldn't forget that. Free parking available.
It's a bit old, but some effort has been put into furnishing it to make it pleasant. Our room was on the second floor, so there was a slope. Table with two armchairs, several closets, a double bed and a sufficient bathroom with shower were also available, as well as shower gel, hairdryer, bath and hand towels, an extra bag with a bathrobe and sauna towel. Bathroom and room were clean, mattresses were firm. In my opinion, the water in the pool is too cold for a wellness pool, it would be different if it were a pool of 25 meters to do laps. Three small saunas available. With 4 people it gets uncomfortably cramped in the small cabins, so you have to be a bit lucky that it isn't that busy. The three saunas differ in their temperature, one 85 degrees, one 64 degrees and I don't remember the third one. There are also several pools for alternating warm and cold baths for the feet. The "dining room" is not particularly large and the tables are close together so that there is space for all guests. The dinner was good, and the breakfast buffet was also completely sufficient. It was always refilled when something was no longer available. The space at the buffet is also very limited, making it difficult to serve several people at the same time. The reception was very friendly, the service was very nice and accommodating, the massage was very pleasant and I cannot confirm the comments about unfriendly employees. We were welcomed very friendly, threw our bathrobes straight into the dryer, we had just come from the bathroom area, got them back after the massage, dry and warm, great. Both women know something about what they do, are open-minded and communicative. Even after work when you saw each other in front of the hotel. So a very pleasant and relaxing experience.
Would I book it again? Probably not. All in all, the price was too high for me. We paid 270 euros for one night with two people!! The extra charge for the pool, which was too cold, and the saunas that were too small weren't worth it for me. Especially since the Börde Therme is only a few minutes away. A "normal" room, at a normal price and then going to the thermal spa for wellness, would probably have been the better choice.

Average hotel in nice surrounding. The adjacent park is beautiful and the surrounding quite calming. Also, it’s not far from the beautiful city of Soest.

Now on to the hotel itself. The rooms have different motives, we stayed in the Marilyn Monroe room. The room was okay but nothing special. In general the hotel felt quite old and the style was…questionable. Very colourful and not stylish.
The wellness facilities seem good enough. We only tried the basement pool and sauna. Sauna was good.
Breakfast was okay but no hot food except for cooked eggs and scrambled eggs on demand.
We also had dinner here. At checkin we were handed a piece of paper on which we should mark our wishes for dinner. When I asked if it was included in the price the receptionist replied it was so we went on and chose dinner. At checkout I was asked to pay for dinner which was quite confusing. The receptionist at checkout - which was another one - said it was not included. After some minor discussions we could leave and the dinner fee was waved.
Quite confusing to be honest.
All in all an okayish stay. I would say there are better options in the area though.
The entire hotel could use a makeover.

Ein überaus freundlicher Empfang. Zimmer 33 "Giorgio" unter dem Dach. Zimmer Standard, etwas übertrieben diese Themenzimmer mit aufwändigem Design. Schlichtes Design finde ich bei einem Wellnesshotel passender. Aber Zimmer war ok. Sauberkeit gut. Morgens zum sehr guten Frühstücksbuffet. Frischer Saft, guter Kaffee. Rührei war etwas zu lange gegart, ansonsten alles sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Viele verschiedene Brotsorten . Brötchen leider nicht frisch, sondern aufgebacken.
Infrarotkabine und Sauna extrem sauber. Pool ausreichend groß für einige Schwimmzüge und zum glück kühl genug zum abkühlen (etwas kühler als im Schwimmbad, aber nicht kalt)
Lage perfekt direkt am Kurpark für angenehme Spaziergänge und leckere Eiscreme.
