Great place to stay
Very nice hotel in a quiet neighborhood near the Alster. Walking distance from the main station, we traveled by train, so that was great.
The breakfast buffet was fabulous, and the staff super friendly.

A pleasant and calm hotel at the edge of hopping St. Georg with its dining options and just a few steps to green walls along the Alster. Downtown ist a 25 min walk or short bus ride.

Comfortable, great location.
A brilliant base from which to explore Hamburg, with shops and places to eat 10 minutes away. I ordered room service breakfast and had a breakfast in the restaurant. There was a choice to meet with all dietary requirements. The room was spacious and comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was clean and tidy, although the ceiling tiles needed replacing as they were discoloured. You had to be patient whilst waiting for a lift, there are three of them, but one was out of commission. The option of getting to the foyer by stairs wasn’t possible. The stairs led outside in case of fire.
I would stay again because of its position.

Rigtig fint hotel til prisen. Dejligt værelse og god - dog lidt crowded - morgenmad.
Beliggenhed i gåafstand til centrum og tæt ved den fine sø. Ville gerne komme igen

Venligt og imødekommende oplevelse
Dejligt ophold - 4 dage på et godt beliggende hotel med et fantastisk personale. Hotellet fremstår meget velholdt med en fremragende morgen buffet. 500 meter til U-Bahn eller 20 minutters gang til Mönckebergstrasse/Hovedbanegården.

Rigtig godt køb til prisen
Vi boede her 3 nætter.
Weekendophold for 7 personer.
Flotte værelser - kliniske rene - glimrende morgenmad og herlig beliggenhed (stille og roligt, men kun 500 meter fra utallige spisesteder (Lange Reihe)).
Bestemt et godt køb til prisen
