B&B Kiel-City is twelfth, a budget room on the water that charges for breakfast. Breakfast is €13.90 (about US$16) for adults and €6.90 (about US$8) for children, and our walking route to Ostseekai is about 1.2 miles (2.0 km), roughly 25 minutes.
It ties with Berliner Hof and the Kieler Yacht-Club on 20 and sits between them on distance — a tiebreak in metres, not in comfort.
The rooms run to a family room for four and a triple, with air conditioning. Parking is paid and subject to availability, with no price online.
Book it for a cheap night near the station, and take a taxi to the ship rather than walk 1.2 miles with bags.
Book it if
- Four of you need one room
- You want a budget chain price
- You want air conditioning
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast included.
- You need parking guaranteed.
- You want to walk to the ship.
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway — what B&B Kiel-City publishes, not what we’d guess.

No ride to the ship is mentioned — Ostseekai is about 25 minutes on foot by our routing; Ostuferhafen is 4.3 road miles, a taxi.
€13.90 for adults and €6.90 for children; weekdays 6:30 to 10:00, weekends 7:30 to 10:30.
B&B HOTELS gives no cruise figure; it says the hotel is "in the immediate vicinity of the water", 0.5 km from the station. Our walking route to Ostseekai is about 1.2 miles (2.0 km), roughly 25 minutes. Sailing MSC or Costa? Ostuferhafen is 4.3 road miles from B&B Kiel-City, so it's a cab, not a walk.
Paid parking, subject to availability, per B&B HOTELS — no price and no word on a cruise week.
