Everything from the bathroom to the furniture felt fresh and well-kept, which made me feel comfortable right away. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the U-Bahn station, making it super easy to explore downtown Hamburg without needing a car.

Staying at Novotel Hamburg City Alster was a fantastic experience—right next to the train station, subway, and bus stop, making travel super convenient. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and offers great value for money. I took my son here because he’s learning German and was curious if Hamburg really invented the hamburger—turns out, it’s not just a name! We explored the city, enjoyed some local food (yes, the burger was delicious), and even caught a quick subway ride to the airport in under 25 minutes. The location is unbeatable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. While I didn’t get any photos of the room, the overall vibe and comfort were excellent. Perfect for families or solo travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and a taste of real Hamburg life.
Stayed for five nights and couldn’t be happier with the experience. As a family of three, we were given a triple room where our child had their own little bed—so much fun and comfortable! Breakfast was excellent every day: fresh fruit, local pastries, and a great variety to choose from. We booked through the platform, and the front desk confirmed that city tax was already included, so no extra charges at all—great value for money. The room was cleaned daily, the kettle was handy for tea or coffee, and towels were promptly replaced. What really stood out was our room’s amazing view—directly overlooking the Elbphilharmonie and the giant Ferris wheel. At night, the lights made it absolutely magical. Location-wise, it’s perfect: right on the S-line between my husband’s office and the city center, making commuting super easy. Right outside is a lovely park with excellent greenery and wildlife—perfect for morning walks. I’ll definitely come back next time I visit Hamburg. Highly recommend this hotel!
I've stayed at IntercityHotel locations in Dresden and Heidelberg before, and this Hamburg-Barmbek branch feels like a familiar extension of the chain—same clean, functional design I appreciate. The hotel is literally steps away from the Barmbek S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations, just a 300-meter walk. While it's not right next to the main train station, it’s only a 20-minute ride via public transit, which makes getting around Hamburg stress-free. Right outside the station, you’ll find DM, Rewe, and Aldi—perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials. The Turkish kebab spot downstairs? Absolutely delicious and affordable. What really stands out is how close it is to the airport. If you're catching an early flight, staying here is incredibly convenient—taxis are reasonable due to the short distance. The room itself was spacious, with plenty of room to move around, and everything was spotlessly clean. Overall, excellent value, great location, and a comfortable stay.
Staying at Holiday Inn - the niu, Yen Hamburg City was an absolute highlight of my trip to Hamburg. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the city center and within easy reach of public transit, making it effortless to explore all the top attractions. The hotel itself feels brand new and immaculately clean throughout—from the lobby to the room. I was especially impressed with the comfort of the bed; it was perfectly balanced, offering just the right support for a restful night’s sleep. Parking right outside the entrance was a huge plus, especially if you're traveling by car. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. This hotel offers excellent value for money and delivers on every front. If you're visiting Hamburg, this is definitely a top pick.
The room was beautifully furnished and spacious, and the location was convenient. However, the breakfast options were extremely limited, and once I had used them on the first day, I couldn’t cancel or adjust anything afterward. The so-called 'breakfast' didn’t even deserve the name—taste was poor and overall disappointing. I had pre-booked parking, but upon arrival, I was unable to use it and ended up paying extra for a spot. I submitted a complaint regarding this issue, but after four working days, I’ve received no response—not even an acknowledgment of receipt. Communication from the team is seriously lacking. Despite the expense being my employer’s rather than mine, I still feel frustrated and disappointed. Honestly, I can’t recommend this property to others.
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. This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a true home away from home. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hamburg.
The location is quite convenient with plenty of nearby amenities, and it's just a short walk from the subway to downtown Hamburg. The hotel is on a busy street, so finding it isn’t always obvious at first glance. The owner is incredibly welcoming and helpful—genuine hospitality really stands out. That said, there’s a downside: planes fly overhead roughly every five minutes, which can be noticeable, especially during quieter hours or late at night. It might affect sleep quality if you're sensitive to noise. Still, for travelers looking for a budget-friendly stay with local charm and a warm host, this place offers good value. Just be prepared for some airport sounds.
Great spot for a weekend getaway to Hamburg! I stayed at Heikotel - City Nord and found it to be a solid choice for a short trip. The location is super convenient—just a quick walk from the train station, and surrounded by local cafes and small shops perfect for grabbing a bite or just relaxing. The room was clean, well-maintained, and the bed was comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep. It's not luxury, but it offers excellent value for money, especially if you're focused on exploring the city rather than fancy amenities. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Hamburg, and I’d recommend it to friends looking for a no-fuss, reliable base in the heart of the action.
Staying at Hotel Mare was a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—just a 5-minute walk from the Außenalster and only 10 minutes from Langen Reihe, making it very convenient whether you're exploring on foot or by public transit. Housed in a century-old residential building, the hotel features high ceilings and well-constructed rooms with solid quality. There’s no traditional lobby, but the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is currently served at a nearby affiliated property due to ongoing renovations, but it’s generous in portion and surprisingly affordable for the quality. Rooms facing the garden are especially quiet and peaceful—perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The Wi-Fi connection is strong and reliable throughout the stay. Parking spots are readily available nearby, which is a big plus. Overall, the hotel offers great value, charm, and comfort in a central Hamburg setting. Definitely recommend for travelers who appreciate a quiet, authentic atmosphere with easy access to city highlights.
This Ibis Styles Hamburg-Barmbek is an excellent choice! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from public transit, making it easy to explore downtown Hamburg. The neighborhood is lively with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a great bed that made for a restful night's sleep.

Overall, the value for money is outstanding. Whether traveling for business or leisure, this hotel delivers a top-notch experience—I’d definitely stay here again.
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.
