nice hotel in a good location

Overall a nice hotel, we stayed only two nights, in the old part and paid around 100 Euros per night with breakfast included. Room on the smaller side but well furnished and breakfast was fantastic so I thought this was a very good value - German islands are expensive. They also picked up our luggage at the harbor upon arrival and dropped it off on time when we left. Reception desk service there was spotty as other reviewers have pointed out. Our main reason to go to Baltrum was so my mom could experience a walk through the Watt which is a nature preserve. This guided tour was from 7 to 9:30 that evening but we only arrived on the island at around 6:30 so did not have time to eat before we had to go to the meeting point at the harbor. We asked in the restaurant if we could eat afterwards and were told that the kitchen closed at 8:30 pm, so no. There was no alternative offered, and we did not know that there was not one place on the whole island that offered food after 9 pm, not even a sandwich or a hot dog, so we went to bed hungry that night. I would have expected that in a hotel with a restaurant on an island that lives off the tourists as the only source of income you could get something to eat after 9 pm - even if only a sandwich or a soup. Also we were told that when you want to eat in a restaurant on the island you have to have advance reservations, even for the restaurant in your own hotel. The following evening the restaurant was closed, because they don't operate once a week, even though we were there during the high season, and we had trouble finding another place to eat without a reservation. It appears that there is insufficient staffing in the hotels on the island probably because space for staff accommodations is so limited. There is a closet for all room keys, the old fashioned type with the clunky key chain, a very accessible place for anyone to take your key so we took it with us when we went to the beach. Good location and good value for the money but plan in advance for your dinners. If you want a Strandkorb you should reserve in advance online. We were glad we did. And don't forget to bring beach towels in your luggage.

Hope to be back soon!

Hotel Seehof is a fantastic hotel located in the heart of the island. Staff and management are friendly and welcoming, they will make you feel at home away from home and ensure that you are well fed. The buffet breakfast is huge, dinner portions are even bigger (even if you ask for a smaller version)! However, all that fresh air will make you hungry, so make sure to explore the island as much as you can during the day - there is so much to see! Our room in the new part of the hotel was very clean and spacious - we also had a small balcony facing the North Sea and the daily sunsets...I hope to be back soon!

Great little hotel

Great hotel probably been here around 20 times over the years, friendly staff, awesome breakfast buffet and great dinner (big portions) so you don't walk out hungry here. Old part is a bit outdated and bathroom door still opens itself as it has for past 20 years but it's cheaper then new part which is very nice. Wireless is available but only works at reception would be nice to have a extender somewhere so you had access in rooms.
