"We had a wonderful evening at the hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable. Wonderful set up for myself and teen, with seperate sleeping areas. We loved the rolls for breakfast. Location was easy to walk, with a grocery store around the corner, close to the train station, river front park, walkable to many beautiful sites. Thank you so very much!"
"Great location, clean rooms, cozy bed.
Easy to check in. Sweet of them to leave a complementary beer and water.
My only complaint was the coffee machine didn't work in the morning (i think it need water or more coffee) but overall great stay for a night in the city. "
"A great choice for staying in Hamburg but outside of the historic city center. You can easily access the historic center via the bus stop located directly across the street which runs are fairly reliable intervals and, in turn, grants you walking access to a wide variety of amazing German restaurants, pubs, and shops."
"Everything was new and super clean! Breakfast was a normal continental offering. I would have given 5 stars but the bathroom situation was really small and the free space n the room wasn't big enough to fully open my suitcase."
