Nice hotel. Not easy to understand what the hotel can offer.

Nice hotel in a central location. Big room but the washroom was a bit oddly designed.

Great Family Stay

Excellent experience-room, service, cleanliness, pool, breakfast location - close to parks, lake & 12 min walk to centre of town action - will definitely return
Robert, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice location, high standard hotel. Had a room on 7th floor, if anyone was to be on the rooftop ( on 8th) we would have been kept awake so probably some problems with noise on this specific floor. Other friends stayed on 3rd with NOV noise. Nice spa but too many kids at the time of visit making it a bit chaotic! Otherwise, very nice, will definitely stay again!

6/10 Good

Nice hotel, very nice spa. My phone didn’t work in my room and my tub would not drain. It was complicated to figure out how to turn off the lights while keeping the electricity on. I would stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and the amenities were up to standards for the price. However, they made some shortcuts when tidying up the room so I have to knock them for that particular service. Other than that, stay was good.

Stay in the heart of Hamburg

Very nice hotel with nice staff! Breakfast was great and the restaurant is out of this world (specially the fille steak). Had some technical problems with the room door, but apart from that, it is a hotel I'd recommend!

Fantastic hotel, highly recommended and a great location to everything you want to see in Hamburg. Room was clean and well presented. Staff were very friendly and accommodating the moment we walked through the doors. Lovely pool and gym amenities. If you have a late flight they will let you stay an hour 3-6 hours for a fee but it's worth it if you don't want to carry your bags everywhere. Thanks for a great stay!

It’s difficult to find the first time you drive to It.
Emma, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Extremely outdated and expensive.

The interior is simply outdated, it is not a pretty hotel at all. The price level at the hotel is way too high in comparison to other hotels they want to compare themselves to. The spa area is the most outdated part. Do not pick this hotel because of the spa.
Gertrud Julie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good hotel - service is terrible

The hotel is great, service is terrible. We travelled with two friends - stayed Friday-Sunday. Saturday morning, we could not get a breakfast table for 4 persons, 2 tables were "free" but reserved, we were told quite harsh. Saturday evening, we booked a table for 4 persons in the reception - for Sunday morning no problem. Then Sunday morning, the same waiter (Yara), told us is was not possible to reserve tables for breakfast, so she refused to seat us at a 4 person table. We really felt not-welcome - it was unpleasant. I reccomend the hotel, but find your breakfast somewhere else.

Her kommer vi helt sikkert tilbage

Det er nok det hidtil bedste hotel jeg nogensinde har boet på. Virkelig lækkert, med alletiders service og komfort. Beliggenheden er og så helt i top, i centrum af Hamburg, men på en stille gade. Jeg elsker Hamburg og har været her mange gange - men desværre ikke på dette hotel. Her kommer vi helt sikkert tilbage.

Skønt og centralt hotel med super service

Lækkert hotel med god service. Det eneste negativt er, at der fra værelset var en del støj fra gangen og overdragen (hvor terrassen er ), mit værelse var på 7 etage.
