Sassnitz is close, about 15 km, to the main National Park on Rügen Island, Jasmund, so whether you have a rented car (as I did) or use plentiful local buses, the location of Sassnitz, and of this Kurhotel in particular, is excellent. The hotel provides free and convenient outdoor parking (from which the view was superior to the one from my room). The local people are very pleasant, wnich, however, could not be said for some of the reception staff. Breakfast is first rate in terms of both contents and location. My main problem was the inferior room, with an interior view. Even if it's not entirely certain who was right about what I actually booked, the management refused to give me, an overseas visitor, a room with sea view – despite being only half full. As for the advertised use of a pool, that's only in an adjacent hotel.
