Hotel Alte Werft  

In Papenburg’s industrial quarter, about 1 km from the city center and steps from a maritime museum and a historic mill. Set on a former shipyard site in the Emsland, the hotel blends industrial heritage with modern comfort.

Industrial‑chic interiors put shipyard relics on display — a travelling crane under a glass roof, heavy machines in the foyer and ship models on the walls — for a raw, trendy vibe. Choose from 122 rooms with espresso makers, minibars, flat‑screen TVs, desks and private bathrooms; the property is pet‑friendly.

Rent bikes, relax on the terrace or in the garden, and enjoy complimentary Wi‑Fi plus free self‑parking; guests also get complimentary use of a nearby fitness facility. There's a massage room, fitness center access, 24‑hour front desk, tour/ticket assistance, laundry/dry cleaning and help with transfers or car rental.

A business center, ballroom and eight meeting rooms support conferences and events, with complimentary wireless internet throughout the property.

The on‑site restaurant and bar serve regional cuisine and local flavors, with weekday buffet breakfasts (6:00–10:00) and weekend buffets (7:00–10:30) for a fee and limited room service. Expect hearty dishes and coffee‑scented mornings to start your day.
