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.

NewLivingHome Residenzhotel Hamburg

We were thoroughly impressed with our stay! The rooms are spacious and perfect for four guests, impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The indoor pool is a real highlight—well-maintained and relaxing, definitely a standout feature. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—right next to Tierpark Hagenbeck U-Bahn station, making travel around Hamburg super convenient. Plus, free outdoor parking on-site means no need to pay for underground garage spots—huge plus for drivers. One hiccup: during check-in, we discovered that only one of our two booked rooms was available. It turned out there was a system glitch between the booking platform and the hotel’s reservation system. We were understandably concerned, but the hotel went above and beyond by securing us another room even though the property was fully booked. Their quick response and willingness to help made a big difference. Overall, this place offers exceptional value, comfort, and service—definitely a top choice for future visits.
