Gieschens Hotel suits training days, seminars, written exams, workshops and company meetings for up to 100 participants, with the option of keeping the whole group under one roof overnight. The family-run hotel stands on Obernstraße in the center of Achim, a town in Lower Saxony just southeast of Bremen.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has organized business events for many years and describes itself as a traditional house. Its meeting rooms are set up to suit each brief: rows for a lecture, tables for group work, or individual desks for an exam. Equipment listed by the hotel includes a laser projector, widescreen projection screens, Smart TVs, a public address system, a handheld microphone, flipcharts, Metaplan boards and moderation kits. Some rooms open directly onto the parking lot, which makes it easy to unload stands, samples or training material. Organizers can visit the rooms by appointment before booking, and the events contact handles room setup and catering requests. The hotel also lists family celebrations among the gatherings it hosts.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel lists four meeting rooms of between 40 and 100 square meters, with a total capacity of up to 100 people. Room sizes can be adjusted, so a plenary session can be followed by work in smaller groups. The hotel does not publish names or per-layout capacities for individual rooms, so it is worth asking for the exact plan for your group with the request.
Accommodation
There are 50 bedrooms on the first and second floors: 34 singles and 16 doubles, reached by a wide staircase. Some double rooms take extra beds for up to four guests, which helps with mixed groups. All rooms are non-smoking. Renovated premium rooms add a safe and a tea station, and the decor draws on African motifs. With this many single rooms, a full seminar group can usually sleep on site, one person per room.
Catering
Catering is handled in-house and adapted to the program: breaks with snacks and drinks, and meeting menus served during the day. The hotel restaurant and bar, Wildnis, serves classic German and international dishes à la carte with an emphasis on regional produce, including game. It opens every day at noon, so participants have a place for dinner and a drink after the sessions without leaving the building.
History and setting
Gieschens is run by a family and presents itself as a long-established house in Achim. The town sits on the edge of the Bremen area, which makes the hotel a practical base for companies in northern Germany looking for a quieter alternative to a city-center hotel, with simple access by rail.
Getting there
Achim station is about 400 meters from the hotel, with regular trains toward Bremen and Hannover. Bremen Airport is about 20 kilometers away and Hannover Airport about 90 kilometers. Groups arriving by car can use the parking lot next to the meeting rooms.
