Bremen's BEST View: Unbelievable Turmhotel Weserblick Awaits!
Bremen's BEST View: Turmhotel Weserblick - Honestly, Is It Worth It? (A Rambling, Uncensored Review)
Okay, folks, let's talk about the Turmhotel Weserblick in Bremen. "BEST View?" Their words, not mine. After a recent stay, I'm here to spill the beans. So, buckle up, because this ain't your typical TripAdvisor snooze fest.
First Impressions & The View (Because, Duh, It's in the Name!)
The "Turmhotel" part? Yeah, it's in a tower. Which, you know, is kinda cool. You expect a view, and thankfully, they deliver. The panoramic sweep of the Weser River is frankly breathtaking. Seriously, I spent a solid hour just staring out the window, feeling like a lord of the castle (or at least, a slightly disheveled guest in a nice bathrobe, which, let’s be honest, is the superior feeling). The location itself is pretty prime, easy enough to find and getting around was a breeze
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Honestly
Now, this is where things get a little messy. They say they have facilities for disabled guests. The elevator is present which is key in a tower. Also, they have a bunch of stuff, including facilities for disabled guests, facilities seem okay, just be sure to check ALL the specifics - call them!
Cleanliness & Safety (Because 2024, Amirite?)
Look, I'm no germaphobe, but I do appreciate a clean hotel, and the Weserblick delivered. They've got all the usual suspects: anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and staff wearing masks (though, let's be honest, you can tell some are over it). Rooms seemed well sanitized, and the hand sanitizer stations were plentiful. The whole "physical distancing of at least 1 meter" thing? Well, that's tough to enforce, but the staff were definitely making an effort. I was glad to see the hand sanitizer, and all the other sanitizing protocols, made me feel safe and secure from what I see.
Rooms: Cosy, Comfy, and That View
The rooms themselves? Well, the "additional toilet" and "separate shower/bathtub" made life nice easy, and I have to praise the "bathrobes" and "slippers". Cozy and comfortable. The whole "high floor" aspect of the room? It enhances the experience of the tower itself, and makes an already great view even better. I was glad to see "wake-up service" and "daily housekeeping". The "complimentary tea" was a nice touch, and the "coffee/tea maker" in the room got a workout, let me tell you.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: The Foodie Adventures
Right so the dinning. The "breakfast buffet" was decent, I wouldn’t describe myself as a “buffet person, but the selection was pretty good. If you like "Asian breakfast", you can have it. If you're more a "Western Breakfast" person, well, they've got you too. But what I really want to rave about is the poolside bar. Picture this: sunshine, a cold drink, and that view. Pure bliss. Honestly, I could have stayed there all day. The "coffee shop" was also really good. I was happy to see "bottle of water" and "desserts in restaurant". I wasn't able to enjoy a "salad in restaurant", but I'm sure it would have been great to have.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day, Anyone?
The Weserblick has a spa. I’m not usually a spa person, I had a "massage", and I’m now a convert! The "sauna" and "steamroom" looked top-notch, though I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that level of relaxation. They also have a "pool with view", which is a must for a tower hotel, and a "fitness center" if you like working out. Frankly, I preferred drinking cocktails overlooking the river, but hey, options are good!
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Air conditioning. Thank goodness. Especially in summer. The "concierge" was helpful. The "luggage storage" was a lifesaver. They definitely have "facilities for disabled guests." They offer all the basic stuff: currency exchange, laundry service, dry cleaning, the usual suspects. Now: the convenience store? Expensive. But hey, it's a hotel.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
The location here is superb, with "airport transfer" making it easy to arrive. The "car park [free of charge]" is a HUGE bonus in a city like Bremen.
For the Kids: Yes, They Have Some, But…
They say they are "Family/child friendly," but I don't have kids, so… I noticed the "babysitting service" which is probably good to have.
Quirks, Quirps and Imperfections! (The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But)
Alright, here's the deal: there's ALWAYS something. This is not a perfect hotel. One tiny, tiny thing, during my stay, I found my door didn't want to lock at 100% reliability. I had to call maintenance twice to get it fixed. It wasn't the end of the world.
The Verdict: Should You Book?
YES. Absolutely, YES. The view alone is worth the price. But the other things - the service, the clean rooms, the spa, the surprisingly good bar - make it a truly enjoyable experience.

We're diving headfirst into the glorious, messy, and utterly unpredictable whirlwind that was my trip to the Turmhotel Weserblick in Bremen, Germany. Forget pristine planning; we're going full-on chaos, baby!
The Bremen Bonanza: A Slightly Disorganized Adventure (AKA, My Brain on Schnitzel)
Day 1: Arrival, Yawns, and a Questionable Currywurst
- Morning (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM): The pre-dawn wakeup call. Ugh. Airports are the worst, right? This one was a blur of coffee, panicked passport checks, and a truly terrifying security line. My carry-on, miraculously, remained intact. Landing in Bremen felt like a sigh of relief. Taxi ride to the Turmhotel – a cute little building, actually, perched right on the Weser River. First impression? "Wow, that view is stunning but, what am I doing with my life!?"
- Afternoon (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Check-in, a glorious nap (the best kind of nap, seriously), and then… exploration! The hotel room was surprisingly charming. The view from the balcony… oh, the view! The Weser River, boats bobbing gently, and a sliver of the city's skyline. I swear, I spent a solid half hour just staring. The air was crisp, the light golden. Pure bliss.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (2:00 PM - whenever I crumpled): Wandering into the city. Found a ridiculously cute cafe and inhaled a piece of Apfelstrudel that nearly sent me into diabetic shock (worth it). Tried to find a "classic" German restaurant, it was really a quest for the perfect Schnitzel. Found one! I think? First of all, the beer was cold and delicious. But that currywurst… oh god. I guess I didn't like it after all. The restaurant felt authentically German, but my stomach… it felt less so. Then, back to the hotel, crashed, and woke up at 3 a.m. thinking about… nothing. Wonderful.
Day 2: Bremen's Beguiling Charm and a River-Side Revelation
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Breakfast at the hotel – a buffet that looked like something out of a fairytale. Bread! Cheese! Meats! Coffee! And then the pancakes… Oh. My. Lord. I swear, I ate enough to feed a small army. Afterward, I went for a walk. Bremen, I tell you, it's a city that sneaks up on you. It's not flash, it's not overly grand, but it has this quiet, enduring beauty. The cobblestone streets, the gabled houses, the statues… It's all just… charming. Saw the Town Musicians of Bremen statue (yup, the Donkey, Dog, Cat, and Rooster), and immediately thought about the "Bremen Town Musicians." It was great!
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): This is where things got slightly chaotic (as they often do). I got delightfully lost in a maze of alleyways, stumbling upon the Schnoor quarter – a cluster of tiny, impossibly adorable houses. It felt like walking into a postcard. Found a little shop selling handmade crafts and nearly bought everything.
- Evening (5:00 PM - Late): Okay, this is the story. I decided to take a boat tour on the Weser. The sun was starting to set, painting the sky with these incredible colors. The boat chugged along, the guide's voice (a grizzled old sailor type) lulling me with tales of Bremen's history. Then, something shifted. My stomach, after the currywurst incident, felt like it was telling me the same stories. My face was a mess, I needed to go to the bathroom. Oh God, was this Karma? Was it those pancakes? I did actually feel the urge to vomit which was a nightmare. And I had to endure this while watching a glorious sunset. The ultimate poetic tragedy. Finally, I went to the bathroom and I felt that I could live again!
Day 3: Farewell, Bremen, and the Promise of Return (Maybe Later)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): One last, lingering breakfast at the hotel. Said goodbye to that spectacular view. Packed (which involved a surprising amount of souvenir Tetris). Did I leave my entire existence in Bremen? It felt so.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): A quick, sentimental walk through the city. One last dose of charm. Bought a "I LOVE BREMEN" t-shirt (don't judge me).
- Late Afternoon/Evening (3:00 PM - Whenever): Headed to the airport - another airport, another security check, another caffeine rush. Plane ride, thoughts of Schnitzel (maybe it wasn't so bad), and the Weser. Home.
Quirky Observations and Emotional Reactions:
- Bremen's Secret Weapon: Cosy, charming, slightly quirky. The city is a warm hug disguised as brick and cobblestone.
- The Food: Hit and miss. But mostly hit. I'm still trying to figure out Currywurst.
- The Weser: Pure magic, especially at sunset. Worth that stomach-churning moment on the boat.
- The Hotel: The Turmhotel Weserblick was a good base, a little haven. The staff were great, the views were divine, and the pancakes… well, let's just say they were a religious experience.
- Me: Exhausted. Happy. Slightly homesick for a city I had only just discovered.
Final Verdict:
Bremen, you sly dog, you. You seduced me with your charm, your history, and your surprisingly good beer. I left with a slightly fuller stomach, a slightly lighter wallet, and a heart full of memories (and a lingering fear of currywurst). Would I go back? Absolutely. Just maybe… next time, I'll pack some Pepto-Bismol. And maybe try the other German restaurants.
