Liegeplatz 13 is fourteenth: twenty-two small rooms by the station, and a "terminals close by" line that means the ferries. The Schwedenkai and Norwegenkai it names are the Stena and Color Line quays; our walking route to Ostseekai is about 1.0 miles, roughly 21 minutes.
It ties on 20 with three others and drops to the bottom of the group because its page doesn't mention parking at all — a gap for drivers, not for train arrivals.
Standard rooms start at 7 m². One family room takes four, and breakfast is from €12 (about US$13).
Book it if you're arriving by train with light bags, and take the MSC shuttle from the station if you're sailing from Ostuferhafen.
