I had read other people's reviews of Hotel Residenz Joop prior to booking and thought it would work well for my husband and I, and my brother, to stay for 3 nights following the European Choir Games in Magdeburg. Our expectations were exceeded and the whole ambience of this super hotel, alongside the first class hospitality proffered by the proprietors, Bernd and Ursula was outstanding. Cycle rides along the Elbe and great recommended restaurants in the evening added to the fun of our trip. Definitely one to put on your 'must visit' list!
