The staff were pleasant, the shower was ferociously hot, and the hotel is centrally located - so in a there's all the positives that get this very poor hotel its couple of stars.The room was tiny, the furniture less than basic (rickety wardrobe and, er, that's it). The bed small and uncomfortable and the duvets threadbare. (In Northern Germany and in February, even snuggling up to my lovely and in every sense hot wife I was freezing.) Cheerless doesn't even begin to cover it. No kettle, no cups, nowhere to get a cuppa. The room was more like an office in the accounts dept of a down at heel secret police force, than a place to relax and sleep.A disgrace really. They need to sort it. We won't be back.

For a few nights stay in Hamburg. Rooms are nice with tasteful design. Service is excellent. The only drawback was the window view from the room, which was not fantastic, however you probably cant get a nice view in the overlooking the main road. Definately recommed this place.

The best thing about this hotel is that it is a stone¿¿¿s throw away from the Central Railway station, so if you have to travel to other towns while you are staying in Hamburg, it is very convenient. In addition, it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the main square and the main shopping area. Being so close to the railway station of a bigger city, the area around the hotel cannot very safe but I never had any trouble coming back in the evening. The rooms are not big but very clean and have all the essential things ¿¿¿ a bed to sleep in, a desk to write on, and a wardrobe to keep your clothes in. They offer free internet access, which worked quite well. There are basically only two problems ¿¿¿ one is the street noise (the hotel faces a street with very heavy traffic and it was hard to fall asleep with the room window open) and the other one, dim lighting (impossible to read unless you were lying in bed with a night reader lamp).Breakfast was quite good. The breakfast room tends to get a bit crowded towards the end of breakfast time, so try to come before 9:00 to be on the safe side.Finally, the Central coach station is right across the street from the hotel (I could actually see it from my room), so when I had to take a coach to the airport on my last day, all I had to do was to cross the road and get on my coach ¿¿¿ no time wasted.

Booked this hotel 3 or 4 months prior to arrival on December 24 for four nights. Booked directly with the hotel. What a surprise when I arrived in the evening and found the hotel shut down for the Christmas holidays. A note on the door instructed me to go to one of their sister hotels. One would think that the hotel which had my email address would have informed me regarding this that I could have accepted the alternate hotel or cancelled and made a reservation at another hotel of my choice. Very poor management in my opinion.

The main advantage of this hotel is its location ¿¿¿ 3 minutes¿¿¿ walk from the Central railway station, just across the street from the Central bus station, and about 15 minutes¿¿¿ walk from the Town Hall and the central square.My single room was on the 3d floor. It was small and very basic but had all the main things ¿¿¿ the bed, a desk, an easy chair, and a wardrobe. Despite its small size, it was quite easy to move around, so it was quite functional. The bathroom with a shower was clean, and the towels were replaced every day. One big problem about the room, which I guess must be a general problem with all the hotel rooms, was that it was very dimly lit. It was in fact so dark that when I had to look something up in the city map, I had to go to the bathroom (where the lighting was OK) to read it ¿¿¿ and I am not long-sighted. Another problem was that the hotel faces a busy street, and it was very noisy even with the window shut ¿¿¿ and you could not keep it shut all the time because the hotel is not air-conditioned and the room would get stuffy quite soon if you did.Breakfast is served in the breakfast room on the first floor. It was not outstanding but there was omelet, a selection of sausage and cheese, yoghurts, and a fruit salad ¿¿¿ on the whole, quite sufficient. Some of the reviews here have mentioned that there was hardly enough room for all the guests in the breakfast room. All I can say is that I came to breakfast at various times ¿¿¿ from 7:00 to 8:30 ¿¿¿ and never saw more than 8 people there at the same time. They serve breakfast between 6:30 and 10:30, so perhaps it got busier towards 9:30 or 10:00, but then I never got a chance to check it.The girls at the reception are nice and friendly, and if you have to leave some time after the check out hour, they can store you luggage in the storage room. The hotel has free wi-fi access, which for me is a definite advantage.On the whole, I would recommend this hotel to those who have to travel on a budget. There are some steep steps at the entrance, so it would not be comfortable for disabled people. The area is not very nice ¿¿¿ but then you can hardly expect it to be nice when it is so close to a railway station. All things considered, the hotel is average but acceptable.
