Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten

Staying at this hotel in Hamburg was an absolute highlight. Its central location is unbeatable—just a short walk from major attractions, shopping streets, and amazing restaurants. I was lucky to visit during the World Triathlon Championships, and the city was buzzing with energy. The hotel itself is housed in a beautifully restored historic building, blending old-world charm with modern luxury. The wide corridors are adorned with elegant antique furnishings that add character to every step. My room was spacious, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with high-quality furniture and smart layouts. The gym is compact but well-equipped with premium fitness machines—perfect for staying on track while traveling. One minor downside: the spa closes at 8 PM, which feels a bit early if you're hoping to unwind after a long day. Still, overall, the experience was outstanding. From the impeccable service to the attention to detail, this hotel offers exceptional value. I’d definitely return—this is one of the best stays I’ve had in Germany.

Grand Elysee Hamburg

Staying at Grand Elysee Hamburg was an absolute highlight of my trip to Hamburg. The location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk from Dammtor Station, making it super easy to get to the airport or downtown. I loved strolling around the neighborhood, with cozy cafés, boutique shops, and a really vibrant cultural vibe. Being in the diplomatic district, it’s quiet and safe, though there aren’t many nightlife options if you’re looking for late-night fun. My deluxe room was stunning—modern minimalist design with just the right touch of vintage charm. The brass lamps and velvet sofa added such a luxurious feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in tons of natural light, and the motorized blackout curtains are a game-changer for sleep quality. The mattress was a real treat—Hypnos, used by the British royal family, made for one of the most restful nights I’ve had in years. Plus, the free mini-bar stocked with non-alcoholic drinks and local snacks was a thoughtful touch. No need to buy anything extra. Everything about this stay felt premium without being over-the-top. 10/10—definitely coming back.

Novotel Hamburg City Alster

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.

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.

Aspria Hamburg Uhlenhorst Sport & Spa

This is definitely my favorite hotel. The service is outstanding, the place is spotless, and the fitness facility is top-notch—every time I stay here, I feel completely at ease. It’s become a second home for me. That said, after seven visits this year, it’s a bit disappointing that the staff still treats us like first-time guests every single time. They’re young, friendly, and professional, but there’s no real sense of personal connection or family-like atmosphere. Still, the overall experience is excellent—great for wellness travelers who value comfort and quality. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, well-equipped retreat in Hamburg.

Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. With such a high level of comfort, cleanliness, and value, I’d definitely book here again.

Staying at Apartment-Hotel Hamburg Mitte was an absolutely fantastic experience. The room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely balcony perfect for relaxing in the morning sun. Everything in the apartment felt brand new and immaculately clean—every detail shows care and attention. The self-service breakfast was outstanding: fresh, well-prepared, and varied, offering something for every taste. I especially appreciated how close the hotel is to a great Chinese restaurant just a short walk away—authentic flavors and generous portions made for a perfect evening meal. While parking does come at a cost, having two on-site options makes it convenient for guests driving in. Overall, this place hits all the right notes—location, comfort, cleanliness, and service. A top-tier stay that truly deserves a 10 out of 10.
