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.

I ended up booking this hotel last minute after missing my flight, and I'm actually really happy with the choice. The price was very reasonable, and overall, the experience was positive. The location is great—just a short walk from the Reeperbahn area and close to public transit. However, one downside is that the hotel is next to a nightclub, and the music was incredibly loud throughout the night, only quieting down around 2 a.m. If you're a light sleeper, this might be an issue. That said, the room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the value for money is excellent. I’d definitely consider staying here again on future trips to Hamburg.

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.

This place truly offers great value for money. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hamburg.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
