Atlantic Hotel Vegesack

I stayed 5 days in Bremen–Vegesack and can only praise this property for my comfortable stay. This hotel was recommended to me, so I’m glad it fulfilled all of my needs and expectations. Staff were EXCELLENT, from reception to housekeeping to restaurant staff. My standard single room was located next to the stairs, so I heard some heavy footsteps every so often, but otherwise, the area was quiet. The room was clean and had everything I needed (except for one thing, see below) including strong wifi, a deep tub for soaking after a long day of exploring, and mini fridge. I had trouble sleeping my first night (the room didn’t get warm enough even though the heater was on the highest level) but the reception desk gave me an extra blanket and all was well thereafter! The only downside was the lack of in-room coffee/tea service. I woke up very early, so getting coffee required getting dressed and heading down to the lobby. For the first two mornings, the machine was off and the front-desk person had to turn it on, which meant waiting for the machine to warm up before it could produce a hot beverage. Thankfully, on my third and final mornings, the machine was already on and it just took a couple of minutes to get my coffee. The breakfast spread was plentiful and had a wide variety for different palates. Hotel location was perfect for shopping, finding places to eat, the train station, etc. I really enjoyed my stay here (maybe I’ll invest in a travel percolator next time?) and would recommend the hotel to others.

This Atlantic is a smallish multi-story building in downtown Vegesack, an industrial suburb of Bremen on the River Weser. Because of its limited size, the underground parking is extremely tight and limited and there is no bar or evening restaurant. The latter was a problem for us since we had a busy schedule. My room was just fine, and service good. The breakfast room on the second floor was up to standard. The bottom line is "ordinary".
