Good service, good standards

We chose this hotel because we are fans of the Relais Chateaux association as they have never steered us wrong in the past. This was my first trip to the island of Sylt and therefore wanted to be assured of a relaxed experience in the hotel. We were not disappointed – the service was excellent, the room was clean, well maintained and details looked after.

We arrived a bit early and we expected our rooms may not be ready as was the case. The reception took our luggage and offered a drink in the lounge but we decided to head out for lunch instead. Upon our arrival back, the room was ready and our bags already moved there. The room sizes were nice and large with a comfy sofa and armchair as well as a grass terrace with a beach cabin and some chairs to lounge around in for the afternoon. The bathroom was large with a bath and integrated shower. Everything was well maintained and cleaned with no broken corners and all well maintained. They also had sufficient amenities and replenished them with the evening turndown. The quality of the amenities was Babor which seemed fine although the presentation of the containers (simple white tubes which a simple sticker label) did not do the brand justice. But otherwise, the room was excellent and well maintained and cleaned. The hotel is near the Sylt train line so there was some rumblings but it was not bothersome to us and we did not mind it too much.

The spa and pool facilities were nice but the pool room was very hot and humid. I have spent a lot of time at spas and pools and the pool room was kept way too hot to be comfortable, even after a few dips in the pool. We left after about 20 minutes as it was just stifling and instead rested in our rooms. We told the reception and I expect they would have fixed it but I we did not have a chance to visit the facility afterwards.

One point to highlight was the breakfast – this was a very good breakfast with lots of delicious options on the buffet as well as on the menu. The cold cuts were of a lovely quality and variety, good liverwurst and mettwurst for the mornings, fresh alfafa beds to garnish, appropriate accompanying sauces, just a lot of options to keep the palate entertained. The menu items were also quite interesting and of a small enough size to enjoy one or two different options. The juices were fresh (except orange juice which you can also ask for fresh), large variety of teas and a cereal and yogurt section to enjoy composing your own muesli. We are very picky about breakfast and this hotel did it perfectly.

We had one niggle with room service which we spoke to the manager, and the hot pool area, but otherwise, had a very good stay. We would come back again if we were on our own but perhaps would choose a larger hotel if we came with the children as they would have wanted some more on site activities to explore and enjoy. But for a couples weekend away, the hotel was lovely and well presented.

Fantastic

Landhaus Stricker is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at.
We enjoyed four lovely nights at this hotel. The service was great, the room was spacious and it was in really good location. We had no problems renting bikes, as the concierge organised everything for us. The bikes were delivered to the hotel and were picked up afterwards.
We will definitely be coming back here again one day.

Wish I could give 3.5 stars

Very nice property, clean and sparkling! I have two major criticisms, though. First - the wifi was terrible. Only one device at a time, and even then , it was terrible. Second, our bedroom was a steep flight of stairs up from the bathroom/living area, not something nice to deal with in the middle of the night! Having said that, the dining room was lovely, and the included breakfast was great. Even though they get few Americans here, there was no language barrier at all.

Tasteful and luxurious

I had a very pleasant stay at Landhous Stricker. As a rule you cannot go very wrong with hotels belonging to the Relais & Châteaux fellowship and Landhouse Stricker is a very good example of comfort, understated and tasteful luxury and friendly service. I liked my room at the first glance, friendly and warm and well equipped, nice bright bathroom, a lovely balcony, and all the equipment you might wish. Service was very prompt, personal and friendly and the place gave a feeling of a home away from home. The enclosed pool and the spa are beautifull and convenient, breakfast was very good and there is ample convenient free parking. One small complaint and one caveat: The complaint is about the internet. It is not very fast and I hated the fact of needing three different passwords for three different gadgets and having to logon each time anew. I think it is because they are using WLAN and not WiFi. Hotels need to realize that for the modern traveler fast and convenient internet connection is a must. I personally would dispense with the TV and phone - just give me good internet. The caveat - The location of the hotel is quiet and convenient if you have car. Otherwise you might be better off in some other hotel in town or on the beach.
