Boulevard Hotel Altstadt Schwerin
Great location between the castle and the marketplace. Friendly staff and a comfortable room. I added breakfast and was glad I had - a nice continental selection with some hot food too.

Weinhaus Uhle
Would have been perfect if not for the strong smell of sewerage emitting from our bathroom. Luckilly we were able to close the door and open the windows to the bedroom so that we could sleep. We brought the smell to the attention of the person checking everyone out however she didn't seem to understand ...

Pension am Schloss
The late check in (past 7pm) was at the bar. It created an interesting reception. Pleasantly surprised with the spacious and clean accommodation though. Check out during their usual hours was much more what I expected.
