The Property — Zum Scheibenstand
At Zum Scheibenstand, you get quiet efficiency in a 1970s brick building near the ski jump in Luebeck’s St. Lorenz district. The lobby is compact, with a reception desk, a small sitting area, and a breakfast room that smells of fresh rolls and coffee. It suits travellers who want parking included, reliable rooms, and a ten-minute bus ride into the Altstadt — not a destination in itself, but a sensible base.
Chronicles of Luebeck
Luebeck was founded in 1143 and became the leading city of the Hanseatic League, controlling Baltic trade for centuries. Its medieval Altstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, is built on an island ringed by the Trave and Wakenitz rivers. The seven Gothic spires of its churches still dominate the skyline, alongside gabled merchant houses and the Holstentor gate. Today, the city is a lively university town and a hub for maritime history, marzipan, and culture.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Zum Scheibenstand, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Ask for a room on the third floor facing the inner courtyard. The front of the building faces the street, so rear rooms are quieter. The third floor avoids any ground-floor bustle and is high enough for a bit of light without being near a possible attic.
Rooms to avoid
Skip ground-floor rooms, especially those near the entrance or breakfast area — noise from check-in and morning service is likely. Also avoid rooms directly overlooking the street (likely a main road in central Lübeck) for traffic rumble.
Best views
The hotel is on a street in central Lübeck, so front-facing rooms may have a view of traditional townhouses or street life, but it's not a scenic vista. Rear courtyard rooms offer a quieter outlook onto inner gardens, typical of Lübeck's Altstadt inns.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the safest bet: away from street-level noise and any lift traffic that may cluster on the first floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Expected street noise from pedestrians, cyclists, and occasional cars on a historic-city road. Nearby bars or restaurants can add evening chatter. The lift (likely small in a 3-star Altstadt building) may be audible from adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
If you drive, park at the nearest public car park (like Parkhaus an der Obertrave) and walk — Zum Scheibenstand likely has no on-site parking, typical for a 3-star in Lübeck's Altstadt. Request a late check-out if possible; many smaller hotels will accommodate for a small fee, and you can enjoy a midday coffee before exploring the city quieter.
- 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 →Getting Around
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.

Top Attractions in Luebeck
💡 Start at the Town Hall (Rathaus) and follow the 'Klosterweg' path along the Trave River – you'll get views of the salt warehouses and the Lower Wakenitz. Takes about 40 minutes.
💡 Start at the 'Hüxtertor' bastion for the best view over the rooftops and the Stecknitz Canal.
💡 Entry and the lift to the top are free on the first Sunday of each month. Otherwise it's €4 – but the 360-degree view is superb.
💡 Go early morning or just before sunset for the best light and fewer crowds. The inside museum charges entry, but the outside is the real draw.
💡 Look for the 'Dancing Death' mural and the broken bells from a WWII air raid still lying on the floor – a deliberate memorial. Light a candle in the side chapels, no charge.
💡 Check the floor near the south entrance for the original 13th-century builders' marks.
💡 Look for the 'Dancing Devils' carving on a bench near the altar. Entry is free, but the tower climb costs €4 – worth it for the view.
💡 Look for the broken church bells from the 1942 bombing, left on the floor as a memorial.
