Historic outside, modern within, this superwelcoming hotel has a tiny swimming pool in the vaulted cellar, a sauna, and compact (but pleasant and uncluttered) rooms. The owners take particular care with the generous buffet breakfast (entirely homemade) and parking is free of charge. Spread over two buildings, this is a great option in central Hamelin.
