Staying at Egon Hotel Hamburg City was a great experience overall. The hotel is perfectly located—within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and supermarkets, making it super convenient for exploring the city. My room was small but spotlessly clean with modern furnishings that added to the comfort. The shower had excellent water pressure, both hot and cold, which made unwinding after a long day of sightseeing truly refreshing. The only minor issue was some noise from the street-facing room, and there was a brief problem with the air conditioning causing a small leak—however, the staff responded quickly and professionally, resolving it right away with genuine care and kindness. The on-site bar offers good drinks and beer, though I didn’t try breakfast, which seemed promising based on reviews. Overall, this is a well-run, budget-friendly hotel with a welcoming atmosphere.

The location is perfect—facing the outer Alster Lake, with the Long Row (Lange Reihe) just behind the hotel, offering a great mix of restaurants, shops, ice cream parlors, delicatessens, and a bus stop heading toward the train station and Barmbek.

This hotel is absolutely top-notch with a friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. I especially appreciate that part of the breakfast service is handled by team members with special needs—adds a heartwarming touch to the experience.

Would definitely recommend and book again.

The hotel offers excellent value for money. While it’s not brand new, the cleanliness is impressive and all fixtures in the room are in perfect working order—no issues at all. Breakfast was modest but sufficient, with everything I’d expect; honestly, I was pleasantly surprised since I didn’t anticipate much. The only minor drawback was staying on the ground floor—there was a persistent low-frequency hum that confused me at first. I thought it might be loud music or bass from a passing car, but eventually realized it was the subway running directly beneath the building. It’s noticeable, especially at night, but not disruptive enough to ruin the stay. Overall, the location is convenient, the staff are friendly, and the room is comfortable. A great choice if you’re looking for a no-frills yet reliable option in Hamburg.
