Cuxhaven Hotels with a Game Room for Families

Beach holidays in Cuxhaven depend on the weather, and a game room gives children something to do indoors without a trip to town. The three hotels here are all within a walk of the sea, so the room works as a backup rather than the main plan. What differs is what surrounds it: an indoor pool and a playground at one, a spa area and family suites at another, a garden and a barbecue area at the third.

Moin Hotel Cuxhaven is the most complete choice for families. The four-star hotel is rated 8.5 from 2,317 reviews and sits 300 metres from the sandy beach. It lists a spa area with an indoor pool, a Finnish sauna, a steam room and beauty treatments, as well as a playground, a game room and bike rental. Modern non-smoking rooms have a flat-screen TV and a minibar, and a breakfast buffet and drinks are served. The playground plus the indoor pool give children several options on a wet day. Ask whether the indoor pool has set hours for children.

Aparthotel Kleine Perle is a four-star aparthotel rated 8.3 from 520 reviews, quietly located in Cuxhaven 600 metres from the long Döse beach. It offers bright, elegantly furnished rooms, suites and studios with modern bathrooms, cable TV and complimentary cosmetic products. Guests have free WiFi, a spa area with hot tubs and a free sauna, and a spacious shared terrace with beach views. It also lists a game room, family suites and bike rental, which makes it a good base for families who want more space than a standard room.

Hotel Kenny & Henry is a three-star inn rated 7.8 from 770 reviews, about 350 metres from the Duhnen centre and the Duhnen beach promenade. It offers non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi, a sun terrace, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities, plus room service and a coffee and tea kitchen. Its highlights list a game room, bike rental and beachfront access, though the description does not describe the game room itself. Hiking, windsurfing and cycling can be enjoyed in the surroundings. Ask also whether pets are allowed in the garden and the lounge.

None of the listings says whether the game room has table tennis, a console, board games or supervision, or when it is open. Ask each hotel what is in the room, which ages it suits and whether it is free, and ask whether it is open in the evening. A short reply will tell you whether it is a corner with a few games or a proper play space, and that matters on a rainy North Sea day. Ask them to describe the room in a line or two, so you can compare the three hotels fairly and avoid a surprise.
