Strandhaus in Hagen

We had a wonderful dinner – everything was delicious and plentiful – and our special requests were met without any problems. The atmosphere is very cozy, and Matthias's excellent service rounded off the evening! We will definitely be back...!

It was boring, there was no music as promised, no celebration and no real momentum.

Our experience report with the Strandhaus Hagen will hopefully give future brides and grooms the chance to choose another location early on. Seven months ago we chose the beach house for our wedding reception. Four weeks before the date, the managing director informed us that a newly launched raver festival with loud house music would take place on the same day, which would accompany our wedding. Formally he is in the right, since Beach and Strandhaus operate separately. Thanks to the network of many restaurateurs, we found a replacement location within four weeks. We recommend that every bride and groom look for a more authentic location, as the beach house seems to give priority to large events. Update: Update to Google review Dear beach house team, I regret to note that you attempted to have my honest review removed by complaining to Google. The message from Google said: “Google has received a complaint about the following URL(s) for the following legal reasons: defamation.” However, this is not the right way to deal with constructive criticism. Google reviewed my review and decided to allow it to remain. Unfortunately, it seems like you didn't understand the intention behind the review.

The rooms inside are nice, the outside is great. The service was also perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the schnitzel buffet really left a lot to be desired. Yes - All you can eat BUT - only one sauce, after request a second one was added. Unfortunately, the selection overall didn't justify the price. Otherwise recommended.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Very tasty food, we were there for brunch today. Everything you need is there, including lots of drinks. Highly recommended, we would love to come back👍🥐🍞🍚☕️🥂🥕.

Enjoyed the buffet in the beach house today, very good. The waiters were all very friendly, especially Leon. We will come back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great evening at the beach house in Hagen! The food and service were great, the playing (Hitstar Evening) was entertaining and super fun. An all-round successful evening – gladly again!

Beautiful location, great staff, very nice and friendly. Food and drink top, really recommended 🙏🏼😊

Great location, nice rooms and delicious food!

I spent one night in the beach house. Clean rooms and nicely located. Great view! Absolutely recommended! The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Booking takes place exclusively online. Access is via key card. Fees apply for parking. The bus stops right in front of the door.

Went there for breakfast on Sunday with friends. Very friendly staff 👍👍👍👍the buffet was very rich and tasty. We would love to come back 🤩

We went to the beach house for breakfast. Despite the lack of staff, we were satisfied There was plenty. If something was missing, it was replaced promptly. We'll be back

Everything was very pleasant and uncomplicated! The food tasted really good, there is a great variety of drinks. The seating is great both in the restaurant and on the beach! The service was really excellent. I really enjoyed being there and will definitely come back!!

We had brunch and were very satisfied. The service team is very friendly and always tries to refill everything at short notice if something is missing.

The burgers were great and the prices are fair. I'd love to come back in the summer, the beach looks great.

Very nice, we would go there again and again

Great service, delicious food, nice ambience, very dog ​​friendly. We had called beforehand to see if we could come in with our dogs. We were already verbally welcomed with open arms. When we arrived at the restaurant there was already another dog there. Including our two, there were 4 at the end. Every table with a dog was given a bowl of water without asking and the employees were all very happy about the dogs. Some of them just came over to cuddle, but with exactly the right timing so that it didn't bother us while we were eating. I only vaguely remember the food, it was tasty but nothing particularly remarkable. There is a good selection for vegetarians. Overall, this restaurant scores highly with its excellent service, beautiful location and pleasant furnishings. Customers also have to pay for the on-site parking lot, otherwise there is little space on the street.

We stopped there for coffee and cake after a walk. The view couldn't be better, and the service is excellent. The waitresses always have a quick joke on their lips and at least seem to enjoy their work. The cake is homemade and worth a sin. On our next visit (which is definitely already planned!), we'll also try the appetizing-looking and delicious-smelling dishes.

We had breakfast in the beach house and have never had such a bad breakfast....the cutlery was always dirty, i.e. there were still bits of food stuck to it, the sausage was neatly arranged on the plate, but tasted as if it had been there for a long time, so it wasn't fresh, yes and the scrambled eggs.....there were enough in the bowl but they were very dry and crumbly.....the fried eggs were slapped on the tray, dry, the egg yolk hard....the vegetables were really the last, watery and mushy.....the "buffet" wasn't even prepared again....i.e. cleaned again, apart from "normal" rolls, nothing was refilled.....and every little thing costs extra....so we were so disappointed.....would have gladly paid more for a nice breakfast, as the atmosphere there is very nice...we definitely won't have breakfast here again....

Location, food and drinks are great and the price is right. Unfortunately, the staff is not always too friendly and very slow. I would also think it would be better if there were service staff in the lower area to serve the tables, as it would be less annoying if you had to wait because you wouldn't have to wait in line forever. The location takes it out of it.

Top service, delicious breakfast. Always my pleasure. 👍🤌🏼

Went for breakfast with the family on Sunday. Great ambience and food was also very tasty.

A very good restaurant/bar located directly on the shores of Lake Hengstey. It has a spacious outdoor terrace and direct access to the Ruhr cycle network. It feels like you're on the North Sea beach. There's an outdoor dining area and plenty of places to relax. The food is very good, and the cake counter is also impressive. The staff was extremely friendly and competent! We felt very comfortable there and will definitely be back!

I always enjoy going to the beach house - whether winter or summer, it's always cozy, tasty and a friendly atmosphere :))

Great – spontaneous breakfast here for the first time, and we'd love to come back! Flo and his team do a fantastic job, and I have to say that clearly: this is the whole story! It's a real pleasure to come here!!! Great selection at the buffet, it's quickly refilled, and the drinks package is also very commendable. See you soon, everyone!

It was a really great stay with a hotel overnight stay. The rooms are very clean and very modern. Simply fantastic. The breakfast is sensational and the service is excellent and courteous. We always like to come back because you feel very comfortable

We have now been there on 2 Fridays and there will definitely be more. We were there on the bingo evenings and it was always very fun and tasty.

We went for Sunday brunch and had a very good impression. A wide selection of good quality food. We enjoyed it so much that we'll be back with the family.

We went to Bread & Wine at the Strandhaus last night. It was very nice and delicious. The €19.90 package is unbeatable. All the servers were super nice. We'd love to come back.

We went to Bread & Wine at the Strandhaus yesterday. Lovely atmosphere and two very friendly servers.

A walk around the Hengsteysee and then a stop at the beach house. Super.

The food was very tasty and the atmosphere was nice too. Unfortunately, an employee employed there on the beach treated the guests and other employees extremely cholerically. However, the restaurant is highly recommended.

Great food, cozy atmosphere, great service (thanks Matthias!). We'll be back here soon! ❤️

We celebrated my birthday at the beach house and it was great 👍. Ambiance, service, food and a great team. Gladly again 👍👍

The beach house itself is a very nice place where you can eat and drink comfortably. Service is very good. Prices a bit high, otherwise great. The breakfast is a little poor. Unfortunately it wasn't refilled regularly, so we had to look for an alternative. Nevertheless, I always enjoy coming back to you!

It's really great there! The concept absolutely works. Respect 👍

We spontaneously had lunch here, great service, price performance 100%, I hope this high level can be maintained. Our lunch was very tasty, the portions felt huge! Keep it up!!

Brunch with the whole family, including small children We were all very pleasantly surprised by the service provided, even to the youngest members of the family. A small play area was set up, complete with a crawling mat, so they didn't have to play on the floor. There's a spacious sandbox with plenty of toys on the terrace. The beach house is also very well-equipped with cutlery and high chairs. The high chairs are CLEAN, and extra children's forks are provided. Even the dog gets fresh water. The buffet is varied and fresh; as soon as something ran low, it was refilled. Coffee could be taken directly to your seat in a pot, saving you the hassle of walking. The service staff are motivated and very positive, spreading a good mood. You can tell they enjoy their work and want to make customers happy. The ambiance is harmonious; it's a common thread throughout the beach house concept and exudes a sense of coziness. It was definitely not our last visit there

Super comfortable deluxe room, stylish and quiet, beautiful location, restaurant also great, delicious burgers and more, big praise and thank you, keep it up

We went to the beach house for brunch with the whole family. Yes, it was Sunday and it was well attended and I understand that with almost 200 guests (according to an employee) you sometimes have to queue at the buffet and not everything is always there. But if you even put up a sign that says you should speak to the staff if there is no food, then you simply can't react in annoyance and complain when someone politely asks the said employee about the missing scrambled eggs... That was really embarrassing for my guests. The fact that the same person told the guests when they arrived when they had to clear the table before anyone had even been to the buffet was also not possible. In terms of taste, everything was okay for the price, and the selection was also perfectly fine... even if some of my guests unfortunately didn't get scrambled eggs or dessert. A delay in serving might perhaps make more sense if only certain quantities are calculated.

Delicious, varied menu, but this leads to long waiting times for larger groups. No problem thanks to the comfortable seating. Dogs allowed very well. The individual drink reordering that does not affect the entire group could be improved. Nice view. If the weather is good, a walk across the lake is possible afterwards. We liked the acoustic ceiling better than in some other open locations, which makes a longer stay comfortable even when there's a lot of chatting. Repeat possible😊

The breakfast was great and the service was great

I went to the cafe twice with my wife—and at least once too often! The location is top-notch, the food and drinks were fine. The male service is completely awful. The first time, we sat on the terrace, which was obviously very crowded given the nice weather. I got us a drinks menu—without complaining—and the young waiter TOLD me he was responsible for it. Excuse me? Last Sunday, we went to the cafe again because my wife wanted a coffee. It was full again (breakfast parties) and we found a table that wasn't reserved for another 30 minutes. The young waitress agreed to let us have a coffee and was very friendly. Then the aforementioned waiter appeared again, pointedly looked at his watch, and told us in an unfriendly tone that he would make an exception for once. Before I could say anything, he turned around and disappeared. Everything would have been fine, but he probably had to kick the boss out. The waitress was also very uncomfortable. That was the end of the cafe.

We were there for brunch with 10 people. Very tasty food, great selection, very nice atmosphere. Florian explained everything to us very well. Florian alone was worth 5 stars, super friendly, attentive, quick and in a good mood. We were thrilled and would love to come back. Thank you for the great service and the lovely morning/lunch.

Great location, top service and delicious food. We were served warmly, funny and professionally by Florian. Were here for the industry. We will do this again soon.

Great atmosphere, super friendly team

Great location, the terrace is beautiful when the sun is shining, the food was delicious, and the cake was okay. The service wasn't very attentive at first; we had to ask several times to order something. But all in all, it was very good; I'll be back. The salad and fries were extremely tasty and crispy, just as they should be.

Very nice atmosphere, great waiters and a super host, highly recommended!

Great shop with a great location. Five stars, gladly again.

The Hitster Bingo event was great fun!

We were at the beach house on Sunday and thought it was great! Great location, great and simple selection of drinks and super lovely staff who put in a lot of effort. However, we were very shocked by the unfriendliness of the people! It's to be expected that such a popular place with a great location will be crowded on a sunny Sunday, but then I wonder why people complain that it's so busy?! It speaks FOR the beach house and shows that the business is running. Big praise to the team and especially the service that had to organize this mass of people. It's clear that you have to wait longer for your order or for the waiter. We were in the back area of ​​the restaurant and despite the stress we were served very nicely and the young man tried to take care of everyone! And when you see people arguing loudly with the service staff, you can't help but feel sorry for the young people who are doing their best. Thanks to the team for creating such a great new place for us to unwind and meet up with friends and family! Kind regards and see you next time! LG

My favorite restaurant, I always like to come here every Sunday. Matti is one of the best service people along with Flo. Always nice there, I can't say anything negative. Food is delicious... Service has been great...

Very crowded, but still a place for 2. Thanks for the nice ambience and the delicious food.

As always it was very nice! Delicious waffles and nice atmosphere! As always, Matthias served us perfectly and friendly.

Very cozy location, Matthias is the best waiter ever, always has a good saying. Food and drinks come quickly. VG.Jan

Nice atmosphere, great in summer

Location great, food great, staff great! Always happy to come here!

Great atmosphere!!! 👍great if you went for a walk. The cake was very cold and tiny for the price, the mulled wine came lukewarm and went back again. The service seemed overwhelmed, it took a long time for anyone to come and there were dishes everywhere on the counter while the employees were chatting and it was very dirty including food on the floor 😣 I hope that the organization is optimized because the location is great 😊

The location is really nice on the lake, but the service was a disaster. After ordering, despite asking, we waited over an hour for drinks and food. Then unfortunately left without food or drink. Too bad!

We enjoyed a mulled wine in the beach bar

Absolutely. Very good food, very cozy atmosphere and very good service except for one cheeky remark. A friend just wanted a little hot water poured in and she was immediately called a scrounger. A no would have been enough. But otherwise everything is very good.

Great atmosphere right on the lake. Large selection of food and drinks. Unfortunately, my meal - a bowl - was very oily. The service still has room for improvement...

For a Saturday, hiring only one person as service/worker is not enough... Unfortunately it was not possible to get fruit tea, which ran out the evening before... After brunch we sat for about an hour....during this time we didn't even ask if there was anything else we wanted.....

We went to dinner with 11 people on January 24th, 2025 and then made a reservation for curling at the Strandhaus Hagen. The food and service were great! They absolutely deserve 5 stars (thanks to Matthias + crew!!!!) Curling was an absolute disaster!!! 5 blades (three small, 2 large blades) for shooting were a complete disgrace given the price. Unfortunately, this means that no sensible game can take place. The 2nd hole was also occupied - with all the woods!!!!! That can't be right - that's a straight 6! If the service hadn't been so good I would have given the beach house less than one point! The previous message on the AB was about the weather!!! that didn't bother us!!

Good and completely sufficient breakfast buffet with vegetables, eggs, dessert variations and good coffee can be booked as a flat rate. The service is outstanding! Super attentive and very friendly! We'd love to come back. Great value for money.

We went to the brunch buffet at the beach house at Hengsteysee. It was very tasty and there was a lot of choice. The service this Sunday was super nice, quick and courteous. A next visit will follow.

I celebrated my birthday with friends and we had a great evening. Delicious food, everyone found something for themselves, cozy atmosphere and good and funny service.😃👍 We had a lot of fun!!!

Wonderful, good value for money!! Friendly, communicative staff. A frequent visit is certain!!

A very tasty buffet and great ambience! You just have to make a reservation in advance! Would definitely come again

So we were extremely satisfied....Price and performance are great...Everyone was friendly and accommodating...we'll definitely be back...💪

Rooms and staff are actually really good, but it's far too loud during events to even get a glimpse of it. Music so loud that you can hear every word sung and the floor vibrates from the bass. Of course, the music continues after 1 a.m. I'll never come here again.

In addition to being a great place to eat, the beach house also offers regular fun activities such as bingo and other games. The atmosphere is simply wonderful! The team's respectful and friendly approach ensures that you immediately feel at home. I can highly recommend the beach house

Simply great!😃 The ambience is truly breathtaking and the food surpassed everything. First we played curling for an hour, the music was turned on outside, the game was explained in detail and drinks were brought out. After playing we ate there. There were 8 of us and all of us were more than satisfied. The waitresses are courteous and quick. We waited about 15 minutes for the food and then all 8 of us got it at the same time. Everyone had something different and every dish was delicious. We will come back in the summer and have a good time on the huge terrace. 10/10 ⭐️ Highly recommended!

Rating refers to breakfast: We were looking for a place to have breakfast while passing through last Friday and found out about the buffet in the beach house via Google. Booked and arrived at short notice, it was extremely busy but the service was still very good, attentive and friendly. We had a great breakfast and also got our parking ticket refunded. Price/performance was really top for this breakfast. 6.90 pp plus 5 EUR for the drinks is really very cheap... If we lived closer, we would come back more often! PS: The view of the lake is also very nice while eating in winter...

We were here "just" for a coffee and tea, but we were really thrilled, service (even though almost the seats were full) was very friendly, we were served immediately, thumbs up 👍👍Chocolate cake, very tasty, coffee was great and tea, fresh Mint, we'll definitely be back, even for dinner.

We were there for brunch. Everything was fine. Only the time limit (2.5 hours) should be reconsidered. This is a little "crunchy" for breakfast and hot dishes.

We went to the brunch buffet today. The food was delicious and the selection was sufficient. Service was super friendly and quick. Thank you very much and see you next time. Best regards

The ambience at the Seeleuchte view is lovely! But the food outside was a complete disaster. You sometimes had to wait in line for 45 minutes for drinks because there was only one sale. Warm drinks sometimes took a really long time to warm up. It's a shame for such a lovely event.

The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. The food tasted fresh and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Wonderful ambience, great breakfast buffet at a reasonable price. And the service was also very nice. We will come again...thank you very much...

We had been meaning to try breakfast at the beach house for over a year. Today it finally worked and we were not only thrilled but will definitely come back for breakfast more often! We can only recommend this price/performance ratio!

❇️ I hadn't booked a room.❇️ We had arranged to meet there for breakfast. We have been here several times in this beach house. Except for the rolls (there's room for more), everything was delicious and plentiful.

We were here for breakfast for the second time today and felt very comfortable. Service staff very fast, friendly and courteous despite the many customers. Large selection at the buffet, everything was very tasty and lovingly designed. All in all great. We will be happy to recommend it and come back again.

Were there for breakfast during the week, it's good for the price, everything you need for a normal breakfast is there. But what really bothers me is that many negative reviews are simply deleted here even though they are legitimate. Why does the owner let these disappear?

We went curling there with the family and we will definitely come back. Price-performance ratio was right, everything was clean and tidy, the quality was great and Florian provided us with drinks throughout the day in a great and very friendly manner (unfortunately we don't know anyone like that from Hagen). Thank you 👌 we'll be back!!

Thanks to Matthias for the delicious ice cream sticks and the ashtray!

We just found out today what we've been missing. Service great. Coffee tastes good - as much as you can fit in - breakfast buffet plentiful and large selection Thank you for allowing us to be guests. We'll be back. Highly recommended

If you find yourself in the embarrassment of having to spend the night in Hagen, the beach house is a good choice. The location, view and service offer worthy compensation for the otherwise rather meager offerings in the city. There is also a reasonable breakfast. The rooms are small and functional.

We went there for brunch with colleagues. Wonderful! The service is 1A, lovingly furnished buffet and large selection! I'd love to come back!

We had a great Christmas party at the beach house. The rooms are great for celebrating! The food was very tasty and the service was good too!

We went to brunch on Sunday with 7 people. The reservation worked out perfectly. We sat comfortably by the fireplace while having breakfast. The buffet was perfect, there was something for everyone. They made a lot of effort to ensure our well-being and had a lot of fun. That was a great Sunday. The beach house is an asset to Hagen.

Very friendly service and nice atmosphere. Prices are also fair so far.

It's really beautiful here. We've been there twice for breakfast, which you can order online, and once in the outside area in the afternoon with fries and a beer. I would be happy with a grain roll for breakfast and would be happy to pay a little more. Everything is well organized and everyone is very friendly. Highly recommended.

We just enjoyed the outdoor dining and it was excellent. Great location that you can use for a break while taking a walk around Lake Hengstey.

1. super lovely staff 2. child friendly ********* 3. the food is always fresh and super tasty… 4. Lake view included All in all a great place… Many greetings to all !!! Update! My post was not approved???? Best restaurant! The menu leaves nothing to be desired.

Nice shop, service nice & friendly. It was relatively full and we waited an incredibly long time for the food. Burger was cold, fries could have been better. Bowl was carelessly prepared and tasted the same. Goulash soup looked like it came from a can and unfortunately tasted like it too... Cappuccino was good, the lemonades tasted like Ahoi Brause, much too sweet (although it's a matter of taste, but for me it wasn't a "soda") The location of the restaurant is very good, the outdoor area is beautifully designed. The toilets were rather dirty and smelled very unpleasant.

Gerne hätten wir auf der Terrasse zu Mittag gegessen leider war auf der Terrasse eine Bahn zum Eisstockschießen aufgebaut !!!! Die Geräuschkulisse war derart laut das wir einfach nur wieder gehen könnten . Schade !!!

Mega cool location Four of us tried the breakfast buffet and were very satisfied. Unbeatable price. Good selection of products. The scrambled eggs were also very tasty. Very nice service, not at all distant but modern and cool. We would love to come back and can recommend the location.

Service is too friendly, sometimes distant. I can't rate the room. Location is of course great!

I was there today (Wednesday) with my wife and we found it to be a top location! The terrace was obviously well filled, a young man took care of everything, he was stressed, but he did a great job, nice, helpful (despite the stress) and quick, top service! Food was also very tasty, drinks too. We'll definitely be back.
