IntercityHotel Hamburg-Barmbek
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.
IntercityHotel Hamburg Hauptbahnhof
Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience. Just a 5-minute walk from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, and the subway station is literally right downstairs—super convenient for getting around the city. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious for the price. I especially loved the rooftop terrace: panoramic views of the city skyline, perfect for a morning coffee or an evening unwind. Everything you’d want for a quick getaway is within easy reach—restaurants, attractions, and transport links are all close by. It’s a great base for exploring Hamburg without the hassle. Highly recommend for travelers who value location, cleanliness, and comfort.

This hotel is an absolute gem! Right across from a lovely park, it's perfect for a morning stroll before heading into the city. The location is fantastic—super convenient for getting around Hamburg via public transit, and everything you'd want is within easy reach. The breakfast buffet was outstanding: fresh, diverse, and delicious—especially the German sausages and homemade jams. The coffee was excellent too, no need to grab a cup elsewhere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist with our itinerary. Yes, the weather was consistently overcast—classic Germany—but honestly, that didn’t dampen our spirits at all. Overall, this stay exceeded expectations. Great value, great comfort, and a wonderful experience. I’d definitely come back without hesitation.

The room was clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and a nice, fresh feel. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, even offering to lend a hairdryer when I needed one—great touch!

For a budget-friendly stay in Hamburg, this place delivers exactly what it promises. I’d definitely recommend it to travelers looking for a no-fuss, reliable base.

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.
