About Hotel Nige Hus
Hotel Nige Hus and Restaurant Zum Anker - Family Hospitality
The Griebel family has a long history on Neuwerk and has been deeply rooted on the island for generations. The Hotel Nige Hus is a project close to the heart of the family, which they run with great attention to detail and a sustainable approach. In addition to the unique location and the special atmosphere, the guests of the Nige Hus appreciate above all the warm hospitality of the Griebel family and their team. Whether at the cozy breakfast in the winter garden of the hotel or at the social gathering at the bar of the Anker – here you feel immediately welcome and at home.
The Griebel family has lived on Neuwerk since the 18th century and the Anker was opened in 1974. In the meantime, the restaurant has become an integral part of island life and it is hard to imagine life without it. Lüder and Anneliese Griebel had their hands full coping with the first difficult years and can now look proudly at what the former Anker has become.
During the winter months, when all the businesses on Neuwerk are closed, renovations, additions and conversions have been and continue to be carried out. This should answer one or two questions about what the islanders do in winter… But despite all the modernizations, the unique charm and history of the house have always been preserved. The second generation, Christian Griebel and his wife Svenja, came to the island in 1997 to join their parents’ business.
There was not enough space for three generations, so two guest rooms and two group rooms became the Nige Hus with double rooms, suites and an apartment for the young family with their two children. Together they managed the restaurant and the hotel and realized many new projects. From the idea to offer the guests something special and unique, Christian Griebel developed and built the Tüdelüt and a little later the Wattoase was added. He has been the owner since 2012, but can still count on the active support of his parents.
Christian Griebel is not only the owner of the Hotel Nige Hus, but also the island chairman of Neuwerk. Together with his wife Svenja and his family, he is committed to ensuring that Neuwerk remains a unique place worth living in in the future. This is also reflected in the philosophy of the family business. For example, regional products are preferred and energy is supplied by renewable energies. The rooms were also designed sustainably and furnished with ecological materials.
The Griebel family and the entire team of Hotel Nige Hus look forward to welcoming you to the island soon!

They are all super nice here always friendly just great
Hervorragend
Alles, vom Zimmer, Ausblick auf das Watt, das Personal sehr freundlich bis zum Frühstück.
We're still there. We booked the Scharhörn suite and extended it. It's just beautiful. Everyone is very helpful and really friendly. The restaurant is great and the fried potatoes are rightly touted as a specialty. Our accommodation leaves nothing to be desired. The view leaves you absolutely speechless.
This hotel is modern, nicely decorated and quiet. We were very satisfied with the food and the service. Unfortunately, smokers are allowed to indulge their addiction undisturbed in the beautiful and wind-protected terrace area; we were filled with smoke at both dinner and lunch. In 2023, smokers will be allowed to be separated into separate areas behind windows - that is now the social consensus.
Erholung ab Ankunft - warum nicht mal Neuwerk?
Ein inhabergeführtes Haus mit, im besten Sinne, familiärer und gäste-orientierter Atmosphäre, in dem wir uns auch beim zweiten Aufenthalt sehr wohl fühlten. Das liegt an aufmerksamem Personal und einem überdurchschnittlichen Service, der mit der telefonischen Beratung zu geeigneten Reisezeiten (Ebbe/Flut beachten!) und Anreisemöglichkeiten (unser Favorit: Wattwagen) begann. nUnser Wittsand-Zimmer hatte viel Licht, Platz und Meerblick zu 3(!) Seiten. Ein Raum zum Wohlfühlen, Weitblicken und Schmökern, zum Schiffe, Vögel oder Weidetiere beobachten.nNach unserem Geschmack gab es im „Anker“-Restaurant auch das beste Essen auf der Insel und sehr flexible, freundliche Bedienung.nDraußen warteten Liegewiese, Sauna, Schach und Leihfahrräder sowie ein gepflegter Blumengarten und ein Kinderspielhaus, abgesehen vom Deich direkt vor dem Vorderhaus, von dem aus die Vogelinseln und der Schiffsverkehr der äußeren Elbmündung zu sehen sind.
Wonderful
We had a great stay at Nige Hus and would love to go again! The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and attractive. Breakfast is excellent. The attached restaurant is cozy and perfect for a chilly night on Insel Neuwerk. We sat by the wood stove and enjoyed many hot beverages mit was drin! Theres a tractor service to tow your bags to and from the hotel for you so you can walk there from the ferry unfettered. In rainy weather you can ride in a covered trailer to and from the ferry. Id definitely stay there again.
Wunderbares verlängertes Wochenende
Wir (48 & 45) haben ein wunderbares, verlängertes Wochenende im Nige Hus auf Neuwerk verbracht. nAnreise ab Cuxhaven stilecht mit der Pferdekutsche durchs Watt - der Kontakt zum Anbieter kam vom Hotel, was super geklappt hat. Wir wurden mit unserem Gepäck bis direkt vor die Tür gefahren.nTolles Hotelzimmer, sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Leckeres Frühstück (von 8 - 10.30 Uhr), super Kuchen und gutes Abendessen. nUnd zum Abschluss wurden wir vom Chef mit Trecker samt Anhänger zum Schiff gefahren, das uns zurück nach Cuxhaven gebracht hat. Es hat uns super gefallen und wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
Classic German Hotel in the middle of nowhere
We stayed in this hotel for one day. Neuwerk is a very small island, and many people come to visit it only for a few hours, just to make one round. We stayed for one night and were very about our decision. The time when all the tourists are gone and you are almost alone in a small peace of land in the Northern Sea is precious. We were very happy with the hotel. It is most probably old hotel but renovated. Room vas big a comfortable and what is most important new. The food in restaurant was very tasty, especially fish. The hotel was surrounded but very well maintained beautiful garden. I would definitely recommend this hotel for staying if you are planning to visit Neuwerk.
Sympathisch, freundlich, familiär, authentisch, unglaublich gemütlich und sehr hilfsbereit bei der Planung - und geschmeckt hat es auch noch! So geht Service! Vielen lieben Dank für den herzlichen Empfang und die schönen und leckeren Stunden bei Euch!

Guter Service, leckeres Essen . Wir werden auf jedenfall mit den Wattführern wieder kommen 👍
We've been there several times now. Pure relaxation, delicious food, very friendly, everything was sufficient. Far away from mass tourism. We look forward to being there again in May.
We spent three nights at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully furnished, modern, spacious, and clean. The staff was very friendly and even accommodated special requests (e.g., a second blanket). The breakfast was plentiful.
Very nice location, very friendly and attentive service, nice rooms, good food and delicious cakes in the afternoon!
