It is located on a large and accordingly noisy hub in also otherwise less attractive environment. There were lots of school classes there, hardly families. For children was not so much as the a&O south. The room itself was very ok. Above all for families I recommend the A&O south, because there are a nice play area, everything is new present …  read more

Because of a meeting i one night in this hotel slept and was positively surprised. For the low price really recommendable. Rooms are practically equipped, big enough and i had a wonderful view of Hafencity. The staff was nice and helpful, the building in the all in all clean. The absolute advantage is however the location, maximum 10 minutes walk to the main station and to the center, 5 minutes on foot in Hafencity and speicherstadt. … read more

For two nights it was not better. Hotel lies centrally located (10 minutes on foot the main train station). With the u/s 3 you can within a couple of minutes the speicherstadt (miniature wonderland) and the atmosphere (Lion King) reach. The family rooms are large enough have a shower with extra room for the toilet. Beds were made, two towels for everyone. Our kids paid in this hotel itself for breakfast nothing. Great!

We have hotel because of a recommendation from Hamburg travel. We were told, the hotel is Solid, good and cheap and there would be there family room. The rooms were very spartanic furnished, but with a hostel so usual probably is. The mattresses were no mattresses, however rather thick 'cushions for sunbeds'. The room was but clean and it was cleaned daily and if you wanted you got fresh towels. In the room it was very cold and we were glad the shower was very hot, so that one again warm up could. We could sleep in this room unfortunately … read more
