Apart Hotel Norden

I needed to travel to Norden on the day of a DB strike and arrived cold, wet and tired from having to wait for and use three local bus services from Leer. The receptionist was welcoming and professional, although I slightly regret not having met Norden's Basil Fawlty. It may sound silly, but the warmth of the bathroom underfloor heating was just what I needed being chilled to the bone, before a hot shower revived me. There is a McD opposite for a quick bite out of hours. The breakfast buffet is generous and wide-ranging, and includes the ingredients for a full English (thankfully without the black pudding), with many sweet and savoury options. There is a health suite in the basement which I did not use. All very suitable if you are after rest and comfort without excess, very good value for money.
