2 Best Hotels in Hameln, The Fairy-Tale Road

With a prime location in Hamelin's Old Town, this hotel, in a building dating from the 17th century, is a good mid-range option. The modestly decorated rooms, spread over two buildings, are comfortable, and some have views of the historic center's narrow streets lined with half-timbered buildings. The breakfast room on the ground floor proposes a superb spread that includes cold meats, eggs, cheese, salads, fresh fruit, and bread, and additional goodies such as home-baked fruit crumble and home-produced apple juice and honey. 

On the Old Town's pedestrian zone, Hotel zur Krone has a terrace that lets you watch locals coming and going, and afternoon coffee here is a summer delight. The hotel's half-timber architecture, dating from 1645, fits in nicely with the romantic surroundings. The rooms in the older section are on the small side, but some have old-fashioned touches like beams from the 17th century.
