Hotel Seemeile

Cuxhaven fills up quickly on a late summer weekend - this hotel was perhaps a little more expensive than expected for what it is (so one of the last to fill) but otherwise a delight. Stairs to most rooms, good wifi, nice standard buffet breakfast, friendly staff, do check they're open for your expected check-in time - they don't have 24 hour reception. It 's a nice location for the beach / resort of Döse (lots of Strandkörbe, restaurants, shops and more) - not much more than 5 minutes walk away. There's even mudflat walking (Wattlaufen) from time to time (and mudflat horseriding and apparently mudflat horsedrawn carts too ...) Several restaurants even closer than the beach. Free parking behind the hotel (limited free parking on the road in front too, but behind is easier). Is Cuxhaven worth visiting ? I went as it was a place to catch the catamaran to Helgoland from - which I can recommend - and there are other seaside activities to make it a popular destination. Overall I would rate Cuxhaven as 'good' rather than 'excellent' but it's still worth visiting.
