Hotel Ohlenhoff
Countryside calm north of the slides
About this hotel
Hotel Ohlenhoff sits in genuinely green surroundings on the edge of Norderstedt, the kind of setting that makes the return from a chlorine-heavy afternoon at Arriba feel like a proper wind-down rather than just a change of scenery. The terrace catches the evening sun for parents happy to sit outside while kids run off the last of their energy, and free parking plus free Wi-Fi keep the basics covered without extra charges. Pet-friendly rooms mean a family dog doesn't have to stay behind, and the ten-minute drive to Hamburg Airport makes this workable as either an Arriba base or a stopover either side of a flight. It's a short drive to the water park itself, comfortable rather than tight on a daily schedule.
- Countryside setting
- Pet-friendly
- Terrace, free parking
Our take
The countryside setting and terrace make this a good fit for a family that wants Arriba's slides by day and genuine quiet by evening. The pet-friendly policy is a real plus for dog owners. Families who want to walk to the water park rather than drive should look at the properties closer to Arriba's entrance instead.
- ✓Bring the dog along, since Hotel Ohlenhoff is one of the more genuinely rural, pet-friendly options near Arriba.
- ✓Sit out on the terrace once the kids are down for a proper evening wind-down after a pool day.
- ✓Combine this stay with a Hamburg Airport connection if your Arriba trip bookends a flight either way.

Why guests love itA family driving up for a weekend and bringing the dog finds the countryside setting here gives everyone, four-legged included, somewhere to stretch out before and after a day of slides at Arriba. The terrace becomes the default spot for a coffee while the kids wind down from the pool, with green fields rather than a car park as the view. The short drive to the water park each day feels easy against the calm of the setting, and the nearby airport makes this a natural stopover too.
