Top!
The service at reception was excellent, very friendly and patient team. I didn’t have breakfast but I know I will next time I stay in Hamburg since I will definitely try to stay here whenever I have business in the city!

The main building of the hotel is beautiful with a garden at the back where you can sit and relax. The rooms are small, but modern and nice. My room was in another building, the ‚blue house‘, across the street. The room was very basic and towards the street with a lot of noise at night.

Great short stay
Welcomed by a very pleasant team who seemed genuinely committed to ensuring my comfort. The room was small (and advertised as such) but had everything necessary for a short visit. Location is great: safe, lively and convenient to the hauptbahnhof and city transit. Breakfast was delicious.

Hotel is good, blue building not as good
This time I stayed in the Blue building. Rooms and building were not as nice as the main building as where I stayed before. The blue building feels like it is not finished. People are friendly.

Nice hotel except for the lack of elevators & A/C
The hotel consists of 5 different buildings. Check-in was in one building and my room was in another building down the street. There are no elevators and floors start with 0 instead of 1. When I booked my room I noted that I needed a ground floor or 1st floor room due to ACL reconstruction and ankle reconstruction surgery. (My trip to Germany was 3 weeks and I knew my luggage would be heavy.) However, when I checked in I was given a room on the 4th floor. The hotel does not have people to help with luggage. The room did not have air conditioning. Which would have been fine but it was really hot. This hotel is close to a lot of restaurants and the main train station. If I had lighter luggage and it was cooler weather I would have enjoyed my stay much more.

Cheap old mattresses no sleep!
I stayed here for three nights and it’s taken me another three to catch up on sleep! AWFUL mattresses, old and cheap. The first night I was awake every hour trying to sleep in a sagging mattress that had my back aching in two hours (I’m 40, fit and usually sleep like a cat). The room was a single in their ‘blue house’ which looked nothing like the pictures of the single on the website. It was so narrow I could barely get my case down the side of the bed- which was subsequently scuffed from everyone else doing the same. It felt like a cheap hostel and I certainly wasn’t spending another night in it! They changed my room with no fuss, and apologised that the rooms in the ‘blue house’ are ‘less recently renovated’. Hmm. The second room was better, though the mattress was still soft and lumpy. I got the feeling this hotel spent their budget on the concrete walls and had run out when it got to the important stuff like mattresses and towels (which were small and thin, just not good quality). I got a ‘special deal’ pre-paid on this site, 250 euros for three nights- the rooms wouldn’t justify the price even with a sleepable mattress but honestly, I’d not sleep there again for any price. It’s a shame! It was otherwise clean and the staff are friendly enough.

Friendly, quirky, good location
Warm welcome from helpful staff. The hotel is characterful and has a friendly atmosphere. The hotel is quite quirky, but in a good way. The decor feels a bit tired in places - the photographer did a good job! - and the entrance to the blue building is slightly stark/industrial feeling. The facilities in the rooms are also pared back - no hairdryer, kettle, plain blackout material curtain etc - but there was an umbrella (a nice touch as you have to cross the street for breakfast) and there was complimentary bottled water. Single duvets on double beds was interesting, although not a problem as our bookings were for single occupants of each room. Beds were comfortable and we both slept well. The surrounding area had plenty of interesting places at which to eat - we opted for Cox's, which turned out to be a good choice. They accept only Maestro, American Express and cash, but were relaxed about me popping out to the nearby cash point at the end of the meal. The hotel is an easy 15 minute walk into the centre with the picturesque lake nearby. I would stay there again.

Perfect for a weekend hideaway
Lovely little unassuming hotel on a quiet side street in a charming section of Hamburg. Delightful staff, understated decor with an emphasis on books (!), great bed and bathroom, a nice breakfast, and a great location for me, very close to the train station.

Comfortable rooms
Room was designed using a lot of wood, quite pleasant, but nothing fancy. Beds are comfortable. Rooms are nicer than the lobby or hotel itself, which is quite basic.

Clean, well located hotel
A very short visit as I was traveling further north. Arrived late to a warm welcome & fell wearily into a warm, comfortable bed. Facilities and services were of a high standard. The only minus, which did not affect me, was the two flights of stairs, and then the further flight down into the room. This could have been a major problem for anyone without my level of fitness. I would stay at this hotel again.

Obvious Advantages and Disadvantages
Although noted on their website, the hotel consists of several different buildings rather than a single building. I hadn't noticed this and was surprised. Also, there aren't any elevators, and the first room they have me was across the street and on the 4th floor. When I explained that I have leg and ankle problems, they graciously and quickly changed my room to the ground floor of the building. Although the room was adequate, the hallways was drab and unpleasant. The staff were very kind and helpful, and the breakfast service and staff were very nice. The main building has a beautiful garden and the lobby serves as a bookstore where noted authors give readings. The hotel is less than a block and a half away from a lively street (Langereihe) with lots of interesting restaurants, and it's only a short walk or one bus stop away from the main train station. Since I prefer to have all rooms in the same building and because I also rely on having an elevator, I wouldn't be able to stay there again. Nevertheless, the hotel has a number advantages. The Alster (lake or river) is only about a block away but not visible from most of the rooms.

Wonderful Hotel, great feel.
We had a double bedroom that was a good sized queen bed for two adults and then a pull out couch for two children. They helped us up the stairs with the luggage as there was no elevator and after we arrived, 15 minutes later they brought in a snack tray with cookies and fruit. Fantastic. The breakfast buffet was wonderful too and they had a great wine selection for early evening drinks while sitting outside in the courtyard. It was 15 walk to the city center and 10 minutes tops to the train station. Very easy to get around and plenty of food options just the next few blocks.

Great hotel in a great city. It's not a traditional hotel, the rooms are all in different houses on one street. Ours was a lovely room in the yellow house which was very comfortable (fluffy duvet and very powerful shower). Breakfast was yummy with lots of choice of good quality ingredients. The area is lovely, lots of bars and restaurants and walking distance to the main station. Thank you

Unser Aufenthalt im Wedina Hotel war wunderbar. Wir hatten das Doppelzimmer Superior mit Gartenblick und trotz zentraler Lage war es besonders Nachts sehr sehr ruhig. Die Zimmer sind wunderschön ausgestattet. Genau unser Stil. Man fühlt sich gleich zuhause. Die Lage ist super, man kommt zu Fuß überall hin und es hat tolle Restaurants und die Alster direkt in der Nähe. Das Frühstück ist super. Tolle Auswahl und alles regional. Der Service war ebenfalls top. Sehr freundliche und kompetente Mitarbeiter. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

das Zimmer war ok - jedoch mit einem Fenster Richtung Strasse im Parterre etwas unglücklich gewählt - hätte da selber upgraden müssen, sprich ein Zimmer mit Gartenausblick wählen müssen… da wir aber viel unterwegs waren und gutes Wetter vorherrschte, kein Problem. Insgesamt ein gutes Hotel - empfehlenswert.

Ei tänne toista kertaa
Huone sijaitsi kadun toisella puolella hotelliin nähden. Se oli kolmannessa kerroksessa, hyvin pieni ja vaatimaton. Ongelma oli hissin puuttuminen. Ei ole mukava raahata matkatavaroita kolmanteen kerrokseen ilman hissiä tai käydä aamiaisella tai muualla ja kiivetä tai laskeutua jyrkkiä portaita useamman kerran päivässä. Hotellissa ei ole ravintolaa ja hyvin vaatimattomasti varustettu itsepalvelubaari.
