Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Backpacker A, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (4th or 5th floor) for a quieter stay. As a 3-star hotel in Luebeck, you can expect decent soundproofing, but the upper floors are generally farther from the street.
Rooms to avoid
Floors close to the service entrance (likely 1st or 2nd floor) may experience more foot traffic and noise from staff and deliveries.
Best views
Unfortunately, without specific room numbers or directions, it's hard to determine the best view options. However, rooms on the higher floors (4th or 5th) might offer a glimpse of the city skyline.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 are likely to be the quietest, as they're away from the service entrance and street level.
🔊 Noise notes
As Luebeck is a historic city, you can expect some street noise, especially near the hotel's location. However, the hotel's location in Luebeck doesn't seem to be directly on a main street, so noise levels should be manageable.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to secure a room on a higher floor, as these tend to be more popular. Consider requesting a room with a window facing the city, as this might offer a better view than rooms with interior-facing windows.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Find train tickets →Hamburg Airport (HAM) → Hotel Salas, Lübeck
💡 Pre-book with Lübeck Taxi or mytaxi app to avoid surge pricing. Drivers often know the hotel's side entrance on Beckergrube for easier drop-off.
Hamburg Airport (HAM) — Flughafen station → Lübeck Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy tickets on the FlixTrain app or DB Navigator in advance for cheaper fares. From the station, walk 12 minutes or take bus 4 towards 'Kücknitz' to 'Musterbahn' stop, then 3-minute walk to Zum Ratsherrn.
Hamburg Airport (HAM) — arrivals hall → Zum Ratsherrn hotel, Lübeck
💡 Agree on a flat rate before you get in. Local hack: take the S-Bahn from the airport to Hamburg Hbf (10 mins), then a regional train to Lübeck (45 mins) — half the cost.
Hamburg Airport (bus stop at Hamburg Airport P+R) → Lübeck Hauptbahnhof
💡 This is a cheap but slow option—buy a Schleswig-Holstein ticket via the DB app. For Hotel Salas, switch to bus 4 at Hauptbahnhof and get off at 'Koberg' stop.
Lübeck Hauptbahnhof → Zum Ratsherrn hotel (closest stop: 'Musterbahn')
💡 Take bus 4, 6, or 7 from the station towards 'Kücknitz' or 'Sankt Jürgen'. Buy a day ticket (7.60 EUR) if you plan more than two rides. The hotel is on a pedestrian street, so you'll walk from Musterbahn — look for the Rathaus (town hall) as a landmark.
Lübeck Hauptbahnhof → Hotel Salas (Lübeck Altstadt stop)
💡 Get off at 'Lübeck Altstadt' station instead of Hauptbahnhof—it's a 4-min walk to the hotel. The elevator at Altstadt station is often broken, so use the stairs if you have light luggage.
Hamburg Airport (S1) → Hotel Salas (via Lübeck Hbf)
💡 Buy a 'Happy Hour Ticket' from DB (after 09:00 weekdays, all day Saturday). At Lübeck Hauptbahnhof, walk 10 mins to the hotel via St. Lorenz church—flatter pavement than along the old town moat.
Hamburg Airport (HAM) — bus stop at terminal 1 → Lübeck ZOB (Central Bus Station)
💡 FlixBus is slower but cheaper than the train. From Lübeck ZOB, it's a 10-minute walk to the hotel — cross the bridge and head straight past the Holstentor. Buy tickets online to avoid extra fees.
Hamburg Airport (HAM) → Waldhotel Twiehaus, Lübeck
💡 Book in advance with a fixed price. Lübeck-based firms like Taxi Lübeck are often cheaper than Hamburg ones. The hotel can arrange one for you.
Lübeck Hauptbahnhof → Waldhotel Twiehaus
💡 If arriving late, this is simpler than the bus. The hotel is in a forested area — taxis always available at the station, but expect a small surcharge after 22:00.
Lübeck Hbf → Hotelchen
💡 Use 'Taxi Lübeck' app for fixed fares. For a flat €10, ask for a 'Kurzstrecke' (short trip) within the city centre – drivers aren't always keen to offer it.
Lübeck Hbf → Hotel Kreta
💡 Use taxi app 'Free Now' in Lübeck – the flat-rate from Hbf to St. Lorenz area is cheaper than flagging one down.

💡 Check the floor near the south entrance for the original 13th-century builders' marks.
