1. General Service Description

Our website provides comprehensive information about our family-run hotel at MedemUfer in Otterndorf near Cuxhaven on the North Sea, its rooms and offers. It enables restaurant reservations, offers an AI chatbot for frequently asked questions, and allows you to sign up for the newsletter. In addition, guests can find links to our social media channels such as Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Room bookings are made through an external booking platform, for which we are not responsible for the content. However, this platform will also be adjusted by the provider according to the requirements of the BFSG. Additionally, we provide image galleries, excursion tips for the North Sea and Elbe coast, as well as information about the Wadden Sea to facilitate vacation planning for our guests. Current offers, packages, and information about events in Otterndorf and the Weser-Elbe-North Sea region can also be found on our website.
