Hotel Haus vom Guten Hirten

The team of the Hotel "Haus vom Guten Hirten" welcomes you in a quiet, convenient location on the edge of the Münster city center.

Characteristic for our hotel is a personal, familiar atmosphere and attentive service. A trusting and cooperative contact to our guests is important to us.

In 1986 the hotel was opened as a guest house of the Order of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. In 2008 the hotel was completely renovated and modernized. In March 2009 the Hotel - Haus vom Guten Hirten in Münster was reopened as an integration company.
