Hotel Kronprinz Hamburg Hauptbahnhof
I arrived to find my booking wasn't ready despite having made it about four days prior and receiving confirmation through the platform. Thankfully, the friendly front desk staff resolved the issue quickly. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the specific room or floor I requested. The hotel’s name is well reflected in the beautiful chandeliers throughout the lobby—very elegant! The bathroom could use some updating though. Overall, everything else was smooth and satisfactory. Great location near the train station, easy access to public transit, and a solid stay for the price.
Hotel Alte Wache
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.
Hotel Continental Hamburg Hauptbahnhof
The hotel is excellent and very convenient—right across from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, with easy access to S-Bahn and U-Bahn lines just a short walk away. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the stay feel welcoming. Breakfast buffet offers a good variety and quality, perfect for starting the day right. While parking isn’t available directly at the property, there’s a reasonably priced garage just a 4-minute walk away—ideal for travelers driving in. Overall, the location, service, and value make this a standout choice. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Hamburg.

I especially appreciated how quiet and peaceful the space was, despite being in such a central area. It's perfect for travelers who want convenience without compromising on comfort. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Hamburg.

I especially loved the breakfast—freshly prepared, with a great variety of pastries, hot dishes, and juices. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always smiling and ready to help. It felt more like staying at a local’s home than a hotel. With its unbeatable location, excellent service, and value for money, this place truly deserves every one of those 10 points. I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Hamburg.
Hotel Hamburg Stadtzentrum
Staying at Hotel Hamburg Stadtzentrum was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Hamburg, making it super easy to explore the city on foot or by public transport. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Breakfast was generous and delicious, with a wide variety of options—only the fruit selection could have been fresher. One thing to note: the elevator is designed for one person only; two people can squeeze in, but it’s definitely tight. Despite that small detail, the overall stay was excellent, and we’d happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Hamburg.
Hotel Holstenwall Hamburg Neustadt
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Hamburg, just a short walk from the subway station and right next to a vibrant riverside area with excellent restaurants and scenic boat tours. The nearby park is a lovely spot for a relaxing stroll or morning coffee. Our apartment was cozy and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast buffet was delicious—fresh pastries, local jams, and great coffee. The staff went above and beyond with their warm and professional service. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hamburg. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a great base for exploring the city.

I didn’t need to rely on public transport at all. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a charming, unique vibe. The staff were young, friendly, and incredibly helpful—always smiling and ready to assist. My room was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a cozy atmosphere that made it feel like home. The breakfast buffet was excellent—plenty of fresh options, generous portions, and high quality. The dining area was bright and inviting, perfect for starting the day right.

Elb-Residence Appartements
Staying at this family-friendly apartment hotel in Hamburg was a pleasant experience, especially for parents traveling with kids. The rooms were spacious and offered a nice outdoor area—something we really appreciated since our daughter has autism and needed a quiet space to decompress. The all-inclusive meal plan was decent, though the steak restaurant wasn’t worth the hype. That said, the property clearly caters more toward children than adults, so if you're looking for a relaxed retreat without the kid-centric vibe, it might not be the best fit. One thing to note: the air conditioning unit can be tricky—just press the red button to activate it properly. While it’s not something I’d return to, I do appreciate the thoughtful touches for families with special needs.
Hotel Garni Nord
I stayed at this hotel for several months, and it was an extremely frustrating experience. The neighborhood around the property is unsafe—walking the streets felt like a constant risk, especially at night. For four consecutive months, I lived in fear, constantly anxious and stressed. Two other guests were particularly disruptive and made life miserable. I even had written documentation of the issues, but management ignored my concerns and failed to follow through on promises. It was deeply disappointing. Thankfully, the police responded quickly when things escalated, which helped prevent further problems. Overall, the service, safety, and communication were severely lacking. I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. The value for money is terrible, and the entire stay left me feeling drained and betrayed.
Novum Style Accord
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Hamburg, just a 5-10 minute walk from the main train station—super convenient for travelers. The rooms and overall design have a sleek, stylish vibe that really stands out. However, the staff couldn’t be less welcoming—cold, uninterested, and it felt like they were just going through the motions. I had to explain how to mix cocktails to the bartender, and even basic things like pouring beer weren’t done properly—some bottles weren’t filled to the brim. In one Aperol spritz, water was added on top of the ice cubes, which made no sense. Breakfast was disorganized too—everything was there, but scattered all over the place, not where you’d expect. It took some effort to figure out where things were. Honestly, this was my first and last time staying here. Great location and style, but poor service ruined the experience.
Alster-Hof
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short metro ride from the city center, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, especially the bed—it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh, well-prepared, and full of local flavors. It’s clear they care about guest experience. This place offers great value for money and delivers on every front. I’d absolutely stay here again if I’m ever back in Hamburg.
