Von Deska Townhouses - Ivy House
Our stay at Ivy House in Hamburg was absolutely perfect. The property is charming from the moment you step inside—well-maintained, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and supported. Their kindness and attention to detail made a real difference. It was exactly the kind of place we were looking for—a peaceful retreat that still felt central to everything we wanted to explore in Germany. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Hamburg.
Appartello Smarttime Living Hamburg
Staying at Appartello Smarttime Living Hamburg was a great experience overall. The room was spacious, modern, and well-designed with practical amenities—perfect for both short stays and longer visits. The bathroom stood out with its clean, stylish layout and high-quality fixtures. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was satisfying with a good variety of options, though the location is less ideal—it's in an industrial area, which means limited nearby attractions. Unfortunately, we faced some challenges with public transport due to S-Bahn repairs. Waiting times for trains were long, and replacement buses arrived with significant delays. If you're planning to visit, allow extra time for travel, especially if relying on public transit. Despite this, the hotel’s comfort, cleanliness, and value make it a solid choice, particularly for travelers prioritizing a quiet, well-equipped apartment-style stay near Hamburg’s city center.

The atmosphere at Hood House is truly special—warm, friendly, and effortlessly comfortable. I loved how easy it was to get around Hamburg by public transit, just a short ride from the hotel to the city center. The room was spotless, cozy, and perfectly designed for restful sleep. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to help with a genuine smile. It’s clear they care about guest experience. If you're looking for a peaceful yet central base in Hamburg with authentic charm and excellent service, this place is a must-try.
Apartment040
This apartment in Uhlenhorst is a hidden gem—quiet and peaceful, yet still well-connected to the city. Finding us via Uber was effortless, and it only took about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the main city center. The location strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience. At 40 square meters, the space feels spacious and well-designed, with a private bathroom that adds to the comfort. Everything you need is thoughtfully arranged, and the overall experience felt like staying in a cozy local home rather than a hotel. Highly recommend for travelers who want a relaxing base without sacrificing access to everything Hamburg has to offer.
Heikotel - Hotel am Stadtpark
Staying at this hotel was a real highlight during my trip to Hamburg. It's perfectly located for getting into the city center—just a short ride on the U3 line, which makes commuting super easy. The hotel itself is compact but well-designed with a functional layout and modern rooms that feel fresh and inviting. I was especially impressed by the bathroom: spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed—truly top-tier for this category. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, offering more than just the usual options. What stood out was the self-serve fresh-filtered coffee—each guest could enjoy a perfect cup made right there. While the breakfast isn’t cheap, the quality justifies the price. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice if you're looking for a comfortable, stylish stay in central Hamburg without overspending. A real gem with great value and attention to detail.
Hotel Richter
Staying at Hotel Richter in Hamburg was an absolute highlight of my trip. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome—the front desk team was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. The hotel itself is spotless, with a clean, minimalist design that instantly puts you at ease. My room was fresh and modern, with everything working perfectly, including the comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. What really stood out was their willingness to help—whether it was recommending local spots or assisting with travel tips, they were always ready to lend a hand. Plus, having ample parking on-site was a huge plus, especially if you're arriving by car. The location is also ideal—close enough to explore the city but quiet enough to relax.

Studio Feuerfest
I didn't use the room amenities, but I was really impressed by the shared lounge which included a refrigerator and kitchenette—perfect for grabbing a quick snack or light meal. They even provided free cereal and yogurt, which was a nice touch. The convenience of having these essentials on-site made my stay much more comfortable, especially if you're traveling light or want to save money on meals. Great value and a thoughtful addition for guests looking for a cozy, hassle-free experience.
Numa Hamburg Fore
The apartment is incredibly comfortable and well-located, just a short metro ride from the city center. While the soundproofing could be better—occasional voices from neighboring units can be heard at night—I found that adjusting the electric window blinds helped manage both noise and airflow. Just be mindful that raising them too much lets in strong morning sunlight, which might be perfect if you're an early riser. The kitchen is fully equipped with all essentials, including salt and pepper, making it ideal for self-catering stays. Overall, this place offers great value and a homely feel, especially for travelers who appreciate privacy and convenience.

It felt less like a hotel and more like being hosted by friends. The location is perfect for exploring Hamburg: the U3 line (a major tourist route) is just a short walk away, making it easy to reach key attractions without needing a car. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and comfortably furnished—more than enough for a relaxing getaway. Value for money? Outstanding. I’d say it’s not just fair—it’s exceptional. And yes, pets are welcome, which made our trip even more enjoyable with our furry companion. Breakfast stood out in particular—fresh, local, and thoughtfully curated. It wasn’t just a meal; it felt like a true taste of the region. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply grateful to the team for creating such a memorable experience. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home. Without a doubt, we’ll be back.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, just steps away from public transit and a variety of local restaurants. The room was spotless, comfortably furnished, and the bed was incredibly cozy—perfect for a good night’s rest. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It's rare to find such a great balance between location, comfort, and value. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Hamburg.
