Best Western Plus Hotel St. Raphael
The service was absolutely perfect—our kids at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, even assisting us with a small issue we had. The location is excellent, just steps away from the metro and right next to the train station, making it super convenient for getting around Hamburg.

Best Western Raphael Hotel Altona
I had a fantastic stay at Best Western Raphael Hotel Altona in Hamburg, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The rooms are newly renovated with a modern, clean aesthetic—very inviting. While the single room is on the smaller side and a bit snug, it’s still functional and well-equipped for a comfortable night’s sleep. One minor drawback: there’s no automatic ventilation system, so you’re reliant solely on opening the two windows for airflow. This could be an issue during warmer summer months, especially without mosquito nets—something to keep in mind if you’re particularly sensitive to bugs. That said, cleanliness was clearly a top priority—the room felt fresh and well-maintained throughout my visit. The staff went above and beyond by offering a free iron upon request, and their friendly, service-oriented attitude made a big difference. Location-wise, this hotel is unbeatable. Even if you don’t book breakfast, there are plenty of great dining options just steps away. In under 8 minutes’ walk, you’re in the heart of the city—perfect for strolling, browsing shops, or grabbing a coffee. And right outside the door is the train station, making public transport effortless for exploring Hamburg and beyond. I felt completely at ease during my entire stay. With its excellent location, attentive staff, and overall comfort, this hotel delivers real value. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Best Western Hotel Hamburg International
Staying at Best Western Hotel Hamburg International was an absolute highlight of my trip to Hamburg! The location is unbeatable—right next to major transit hubs, making it super easy to explore the city center and nearby attractions. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. But the real star? The breakfast buffet—huge variety, fresh ingredients, and delicious local specialties. I’ve never had such a satisfying morning meal in a hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always smiling and going the extra mile. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and hospitality. If you’re visiting Hamburg, this hotel should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!
Hotel 66
Staying at Hotel 66 in Hamburg was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, with all major attractions within walking distance. 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. This place truly offers great value for money. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hamburg.
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.
Boston Hotel HH
Staying at Boston Hotel HH was an absolute delight. The room was spacious and impeccably clean—perfect for a family getaway. We had a family suite with a full kitchenette including a sink, stove, and fridge, plus a walk-in closet, seating area, desk, and even a small balcony. While there was no air conditioning, the large window and balcony door could be opened wide to let in cool evening breezes—very effective! The underground parking garage was a huge plus for those arriving by car. The hotel offers coffee, but unfortunately no tea or kettle, and while there’s a stove, it lacks cookware—so cooking is tricky without pots or pans. The on-site restaurant has a limited menu, but breakfast was well-prepared and satisfying. Staff were professional, helpful, and friendly throughout our stay. The neighborhood feels a bit worn down with some graffiti around, but once you explore Hamburg, you’ll see how vibrant and unique the city truly is. All in all, this hotel delivers great value, comfort, and charm—highly recommend for travelers seeking a quiet, well-located base in Hamburg.
Premier Inn Hamburg City Hammerbrook
Perfect location just a short walk from the main train station, making it super convenient for getting around Hamburg. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—great sleep quality. Staff were friendly and efficient during check-in and check-out. What stood out most was the excellent value for money. It’s not just affordable, but also delivers a high standard of comfort and service. Definitely a top choice for my next visit to Hamburg.
a&o Hamburg Hauptbahnhof
I was genuinely impressed with this a&o Hamburg Hauptbahnhof location. Right next to the main train station, it's incredibly convenient for travelers arriving by rail or planning day trips across the city. The moment I walked in, I noticed how clean and well-maintained the common areas were—modern, bright, and thoughtfully designed. My dorm room was spacious, with comfortable beds and good ventilation. Despite being shared, the privacy curtains and decent soundproofing made it feel much more private than expected. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to offer tips on local attractions or transport options. What really stood out was the value—this place offers top-tier convenience and quality at an unbeatable price. Whether you're a solo traveler, backpacker, or just visiting Hamburg for a short stay, this is a must-consider option. I’ll definitely be back.
Henri Hotel Hamburg Downtown
Staying at Henri Hotel Hamburg Downtown was an absolute delight. The room had a classic European charm with a vintage vibe that felt timeless and authentic. Spacious and impeccably clean, it overlooked the bustling city street—perfect for people-watching. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just a short walk to both the subway and main train station, making travel around Hamburg effortless. The surrounding area is full of character—nearby landmarks like the grand cathedral and Miniatur Wunderland made for great strolls and photo ops. We also enjoyed some delicious German pork knuckle and local dark beer at a nearby pub—so satisfying! Everything about this stay was top-notch: comfort, convenience, and charm. I highly recommend this hotel—my best booking decision in a long time!
