German Unity Day parkrun trip

The hotel was ideally placed for exploring the city. The room was on the 6th floor and was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was included in the rate and the vegan food choices were good. The Reception staff were welcoming and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Great location great stay.

Family trip to Hamburg. Hotel is in a great location. Free parking after 8pm in front of hotel on the boulevard street. Other than that a parking structure I was told was 15min away. Room was great and breakfast as well.

Reasonable priced perfect hotel in Hamburg

Small hotel great location good service Amazing laundry service ! My shirt came back as new
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel was lovely and in a great location. It was very close to restaurants and shops. It was an older hotel so the room furnishings were older. The bathroom was remodeled. The breakfast and lounge area were nice. Breakfast offered a variety of items and was very good. If you enjoy a more traditional hotel , I would recommend it. The staff were very courteous and professional.

8/10 Good

Excellent value for money. My room was an older style single, but perfectly adequate for a 3 night stay. Good location, near Alster lakes (great for a stroll/run) and beautiful Planten un Blomen park. Rathaus about 1/2 mile. Breakfast and cleaning staff efficient and friendly. Poor WiFi. Laeiszhalle also within easy walking distance, where I attended a concert. Would use again.
Astrid, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great value

A delightful family-run hotel just 50 or so yards from the Stephanplatz Ubahn station. Comfortable and compact rooms (a little too compact perhaps) and an excellent breakfast. The desk staff are charming and helpful (except for one grumpy young man during the day) and the hotel is remarkable value for money. Congratulations.
Terence, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I left behind a valuable object, and when I realized it, I immediately emailed the Alster to arrange to have it sent to me at a later destination. When I arrived, it was waiting for me!
Richard, 1-night trip

Das Hotel ist insgesamt sehr sauber, die Putzkräfte super freundlich, genau wie die Damen an der Rezeption, ich habe mich direkt wohl gefühlt. Das Mobiliar im Zimmer war nicht modern, aber auch nicht abgewohnt.
