I stayed in the annex building facing the side street for the second time, which made it wonderfully quiet and peaceful.

I arrived to find my booking wasn't ready despite having made it about four days prior and receiving confirmation through the platform.

The hotel offers excellent value for money. While it’s not brand new, the cleanliness is impressive and all fixtures in the room are in perfect working order—no issues at all. Breakfast was modest but sufficient, with everything I’d expect; honestly, I was pleasantly surprised since I didn’t anticipate much. The only minor drawback was staying on the ground floor—there was a persistent low-frequency hum that confused me at first. I thought it might be loud music or bass from a passing car, but eventually realized it was the subway running directly beneath the building. It’s noticeable, especially at night, but not disruptive enough to ruin the stay. Overall, the location is convenient, the staff are friendly, and the room is comfortable. A great choice if you’re looking for a no-frills yet reliable option in 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.

The hotel is spotlessly clean and very convenient to get around, even though the location isn't exactly in the heart of downtown. It's situated in a neighborhood with a unique vibe—somewhat reminiscent of Amsterdam's Jordaan area—so it’s wise to stay alert when walking around, especially at night. Despite that, we felt safe throughout our stay. The room was comfortable, the staff were friendly, and the overall value for money was excellent. I’d definitely consider returning.
