Templin Dream Apartment: Your Perfect German Getaway Awaits!
Templin Dream Apartment: My German Getaway, or… Was It a Dream? (A Rambling Review With a Side of Bratwurst)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I just got back from Templin Dream Apartment: Your Perfect German Getaway Awaits! and, well, "perfect" is a strong word. Let’s just say it was… an experience. More like a rollercoaster of anticipation, slight disappointment, and a surprising amount of delicious German food. This isn’t your glossy brochure review, folks. This is the real deal.
First off, accessibility. Now, I’m not in a wheelchair, but I am inherently clumsy (ask anyone who's seen me attempt to pour a glass of water). The apartment seemed pretty good on paper. Facilities for disabled guests were listed. But honestly, navigating the cobblestone streets of Templin, after like 5 beers - I mean, a reasonable amount of beers - was… an adventure. So, if you're genuinely looking for a super accessible place, double-check with the hotel directly, yeah?
Internet Access. (Because, priorities.) The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – THANK GOD. I needed to post my selfies, obviously. And the Internet [LAN]… well, I didn't even bother with it. Who uses LAN anymore? Thankfully, the Wi-Fi was pretty solid for the most part. Pretty good, actually.
Cleanliness and Safety: Alright, this is where Templin Dream actually impressed. Post-Covid, I’m a germaphobe. And they clearly understood. The Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays… it made me feel relatively safe. The Staff trained in safety protocol were all wearing masks, which was reassuring. I mean, I saw a maid wearing a face shield, and she even gave me a friendly nod as I slipped while trying to get dressed – embarrassing but she helped very kindly! And there’s those Anti-viral cleaning products, which I actually bought and used when I got home from the hotel.
Now for the good stuff… The things I’d actually go back for.
Dining, Drinking and Snacking: Okay, this is where Templin Dream shined, like, really shined. The Restaurants, were fantastic. There was a Buffet in restaurant! I love a buffet. Let me tell you about breakfast. I actually went back for breakfast, like, every single day. And I am not a breakfast person! But hear me out…
It started with the Western breakfast – eggs, bacon, sausage. Standard. Then the Asian breakfast kicked in with some noodles. Next came Coffee/tea in restaurant and Coffee shop, each one making me feel awake. Breakfast [buffet] was incredible. And the Desserts in restaurant? Oh, mama! I may or may not have eaten a whole strudel one morning. Don't judge me. The A la carte in restaurant, also pretty legit. And the Happy hour? Well, let's just say I made good use of that. The Poolside bar was a dream, sipping cocktails while staring at the view, all the while trying to be sophisticated.
The Snack bar was a lifesaver for late-night munchies. And the Bottle of water they provided was a nice touch. Vegetarian restaurant. I forgot to mention, I'm not vegetarian but I had some amazing food. Salad in restaurant, fresh and vibrant. Then there's the Soup in restaurant which will hit the spot every damn time. Asian cuisine in restaurant was surprisingly solid for a German getaway. The restaurant itself? Well, the food was great!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax, aka Spa Day (Mostly):
Okay, here’s the other reason I might go back. The spa area was… well, it was epic. I spent a good chunk of my trip there. Spa/sauna. And that Pool with view? Gorgeous. I spent a good amount of time drinking and watching the world go by. Seriously though.
I treated myself to a massage (heaven!), a Body wrap, and a Body scrub. The Sauna was great I loved the Steamroom! I spent an hour in the Foot bath and just zoned out. All the while, I was thinking of the Fitness center and the Gym/fitness but the cocktails won!
Rooms, Rooms, Rooms… Or Apartment, Apartment, Apartment…
My non-smoking room, which was a blessing. I'm not always picky about this but trust me on this one. The Air conditioning worked like a charm. The Daily housekeeping was spot-on, and yes, the Free Wi-Fi (again, important). The Additional toilet? HUGE win. I was so glad to see that. The Bathroom phone? Because, why not? Bathtub, yes, thank you. The Blackout curtains were essential after those happy hours. I loved the Closet. I felt like I was very secure there. The Complimentary tea. The Desk was nice. I didn't actually use it. The Extra long bed? Amazing. The Hair dryer. The Fridge. The In-room safe box. Essential for my valuables. It had all the things.
The “Meh” Stuff - Services and Conveniences:
The Daily housekeeping was great, but I’d have appreciated a bit more energy. Concierge was helpful. Doorman? Didn't see one. A bit of a disappointment. Dry cleaning and Ironing service. I didn't actually use these so can't really comment, but it was great they were there for the more sensible traveller than myself. The Laundry service was handy. The Luggage storage, essential. The Wi-Fi for special events I think I saw it. Xerox/fax in business center didn't use any. Meeting/banquet facilities. The elevator, the Elevator.
For the Kids (and the Kid in Us):
I didn't bring any kids with me, personally. So, I can't be sure, but there were Kids facilities, and I did see some Babysitting service advertised. So, the hotel seems aimed at families, so if you travel with little ones, I think you'll love it.
Getting Around and Other Bits and Pieces:
Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site]. The Taxi service was reliable.
Overall, Templin Dream Apartment was… a good time. Would I recommend it? Yeah, probably. It’s not perfect. There are quirks. But it's got charm, good food, and a killer spa. Just go prepared for a bit of everything, and you'll have a blast.

Bavarian Dream Apartment: Arrach Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're going to Templin, Germany, and we're doing it my way. And my way, well, it involves a lot of coffee, questionable decision-making, and the occasional existential crisis. Here we go!
Templin Tempest: An Itinerary of Chaos
Day 1: Arrival and the Illusion of Order
- 10:00 AM (ish): Touchdown at (probably a sweaty) airport. Let's be honest, I'm already regretting packing that ridiculously heavy "just in case" sweater. And the passport? Praying it's still in my bag.
- 11:30 AM: Train from Berlin to Templin. This is where the "organised" part of the trip ends. I've downloaded German audiobooks and podcasts, but knowing me, I'll spend the whole journey staring out the window, feeling vaguely melancholic and wondering if I left the iron on.
- 1:00 PM: Arrive in Templin! Okay, breathe. Find the apartment. The Amazing Apartment. Hmmm, hope it's truly "amazing" because I'm in dire need of a comfortable place as I am easily get homesick.
- 1:30 PM: First impression of the Apartment.. OKAY. I think I can live with this. It's better designed than my messy flat back home. I am already beginning to feel less homesick.
- 2:00 PM: A quick walk around the town . Okay, it is even better than I thought. I am ready explore.
- 3:00 PM: Lunch: I can find a restaurant where I can order some German food. And no, not a terrible burger.
- 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM: Walk around Templin! I can now get some real sense of the place.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner: Finding the best restaurant. Let's dive deep into the local cuisine. Finding a local place would be the best.
- 8:00 PM: Back to the apartment to chill and watch a film, and journal a bit…
Day 2: The Lake, the Bakery, Existential Angst (and Maybe Sauna)
- 9:00 AM: Coffee. Mandatory. Strong. Black. Needed. I've got a date with the Templiner See (Templin Lake). I am going to need a walk.
- 10:00 AM: Bike ride around the lake. This is where the "adventure" begins. Except, I haven't ridden a bike in ages. Pray for my coordination. Or don't. I'll probably provide the entertainment.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch: Something easy, maybe a quick bite at that cute little bakery I saw. I am going to get a pastry. It's important. And I'm going to try and speak some German, even if it ends badly, and it probably will.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: The Templiner Therme (spa). This is my attempt at being a "cultured" traveller and embrace the German sauna culture. Maybe I will actually make it, or maybe I will sit in the hot tub and have a crisis about my life.
- 4:00 PM: Return to the apartment. Coffee. Need. Maybe write some of my thoughts - or just stare out the window.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner: I am hungry. Time to eat a plate of something!
- 8:00 PM: Watch a film or have a drink. I am gonna get some rest!
Day 3: A Day of Revelations (or Just a Really Good Book)
- 9:00 AM: The Templiner Museum . Time to get artsy. Trying my luck with a little bit of history.
- 11:00 AM: Coffee and snacks.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. More German food. I want to try everything.
- 1:00 PM: One last walk around the town.
- 2:00 PM: Relaxing at the apartment… or maybe I will just spend most of the day reflecting on everything I have seen or done.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Last German Meal. I think I wanna celebrate properly.
- 8:00 PM: Final drinks and prepare for the journey.
Day 4: The Big Goodbye (and the Even Bigger "To Do" List)
- 8:00 AM: Last coffee. Last look at the apartment with a feeling of awe.
- 9:00 AM: Train back to Berlin. Wondering if I will ever go back.
- 11:00 AM: Reflecting on these days. Back home I'm gonna have to wash some clothes.
- (Forever): Remembering this trip, and all the lessons; the highs, the lows, the coffee stains on my shirt, and the memory of the beautiful Templin.
Important Notes:
- Flexibility is Key: Things will go wrong. Embrace the chaos.
- Food: Eat everything. Seriously.
- Language: Attempt to speak German. Even if you sound like a toddler ordering a pretzel. The locals will appreciate the effort.
- Journal: Bring a journal. You'll need it to document your existential crises and questionable life choices.
- Don't take yourself too seriously: Have fun. Be yourself. Be messy. Be human.
So there you have it. My Templin adventure. Wish me luck. I probably need it.
Escape to Paradise: Stunning Nieuwpoort-Bad Apartment with Terrace!
Templin Dream Apartment: Your Perfect German Getaway Awaits! (Well, Mostly...)
Okay, so Templin Dream Apartment... What's the *actual* deal? Is it, you know... *dreamy*?
Alright, alright, let's be real. "Dream" is a bit of a stretch. More like "Pleasantly Quirky Escape with a Side of Mystery." Look, the pictures *are* gorgeous. Remember that perfectly styled kitchen in the listing? Well, in reality, the microwave door had a slight, shall we say, *character* of its own. It wanted to stay open. I spent a good ten minutes wrestling with it the first night, muttering something about German engineering (or lack thereof, depending on the moment).
But that's part of the charm, right? It's not a sterile hotel room. There were these mismatched mugs, each with a slightly different chip or personality. And the view! Oh, the view. Across the rooftops, towards... something. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure *what* was across the rooftops. Maybe a brewery? I swear I smelled hops one afternoon. My point is, it was *interesting*. And yes, mostly dreamy, especially after a couple of beers and the sun setting.
How's the location? Is it easy to get around? Because, let's face it, I'm directionally challenged.
The location... okay, here's the deal. It's in Templin, which is lovely. Think cobblestone streets, charming little... well, *everything*. Getting *to* Templin was easy. The train was great. Seriously, the German train system is a thing of beauty. Getting *around* Templin? A completely different story.
The apartment was... close to the center. You know, 'close' in the way that your friend who's always late says they're 'almost there.' My sense of direction is legendary for its... *eccentricity*. Let's just say I relied heavily on Google Maps. And on the kindness of strangers. I spent a good hour wandering around one afternoon, convinced I was lost. I finally stumbled upon a lovely elderly woman who, bless her heart, didn't speak a word of English. We communicated entirely through elaborate hand gestures and a shared love of grumpy cat memes (thank you, phone translation apps!). Turns out, I was only *slightly* off track.
My advice? Learn a few basic German phrases. And pack a good map. And maybe a compass. And a friend who can actually read a map. Just in case.
What about the amenities? Is there Wi-Fi? Because, you know, a digital detox is *not* on my agenda.
Wi-Fi. Yes. Thank. God. Because, honestly, that's the first thing I check. I need my Instagram. I need to Google "how to order a beer in German." The Wi-Fi... worked. Most of the time. There were a few moments where I felt like I was connecting via carrier pigeon, but generally, it was reliable enough.
As for other amenities, the kitchen was... equipped. The aforementioned microwave aside. There was a coffee maker, which was a lifesaver. And a washing machine! Which, after a week of hiking and questionable culinary choices (more on that later), was a godsend. There was even a tiny balcony. Let's just say the view from the balcony was of other balconies. But hey, fresh air is fresh air!
Okay, spill the tea! Any downsides? What really annoyed you?
Alright, here's the brutally honest truth: the noise. There was *always* something happening outside. Construction? Neighbors arguing? Squirrels having a heated debate about acorn ownership? Something. The apartment is old, so the windows aren't exactly soundproof. I brought earplugs, and they were essential. Seriously, pack earplugs. My sleep schedule got completely jacked because of it.
Also, while the decor was charming, some of the furniture had seen better days. I'm pretty sure the couch had witnessed at least three World Wars. And the bed... well, let's just say it wasn't exactly the Ritz. It was functional. It served its purpose. But it wasn't a cloud of fluffy perfection. You know, minor things, but things that added to the 'character' – which, let's face it, is code for 'slightly imperfect'. I would've taken a nap on the couch because of the bed. But, I digress, the couch had lost that battle.
What's the food situation like? Good restaurants nearby? Should I pack my own gourmet supplies?
Okay, the food. This is important. The restaurant situation was... mixed. There were some good restaurants, and some... experiences. I had this amazing schnitzel one night. Truly phenomenal. Crispy, juicy, perfect. I devoured it. The next night, I tried a different place. Let's just say it was... less successful. The "sauce" was a congealed mystery. I'm still not quite sure what I ate. I think it involved gravy, something green, and a lingering sadness. My stomach regretted that decision.
There's a local market. GO TO IT. Stock up on cheese, bread, and local sausages. Learn a few German phrases for ordering bread, because the bread is *incredible*. Seriously. Skip the complicated dishes and embrace the simple pleasures. Oh, also, bring snacks. Always bring snacks. You never know when you might get lost and hungry – which, trust me, is inevitable.
Would you stay there again? Honestly.
Yes, absolutely. Despite the noise, the slightly wonky microwave, and my disastrous culinary adventures. Why? Because it was *real*. It had personality. It wasn't a generic, soul-crushing hotel room. It was an *experience*. Would I go back expecting everything to be perfect? No. Would I go back with a slightly better understanding of German and a stash of earplugs? Definitely. Would I go back, knowing I'd probably get lost at least once and maybe accidentally eat something questionable? Absolutely. Because that's what makes a trip like this memorable.
Look, it’s not the Four Seasons. But it’s Templin. It's quirky and charming and it's a hell of a memory. And sometimes, a little imperfection is exactly what you need.
