We had a perfect stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The staff were incredibly helpful and supportive when we encountered a small issue that was completely beyond their responsibility. Despite this, they went out of their way to assist us and made sure everything was resolved smoothly. Their professionalism and kindness truly stood out and made our stay even more pleasant. We would happily return and highly recommend this place to others.

NIce large rooms with kitchen and a bathtub. They was supposed to send information on how to check-in (no staff after 17:00) 48 hours in advance but did not. So there was stressful with mailing and phone calls. They are not very helpful

The best home away from home when visiting Hamburg.
Large clean and very comfortable rooms. The service is amazing, and the views are unbelievable.
Lots of food options at walking distance.
I would book here again and again, and again! :)

The apartment had everything you could want or need, smart TV and speaker, TV swivels so you can watch in living room and bedroom.Close to shops LIDL an Penny's at the bottom of reeperbahn facing Egon hotel, also bus stop just across the street name is Sandberg bus 111, all day ticket costs roughly 7.80 would recommend can use on train also single ticket from airport 3.80.Would recommend getting the 111 an just see the area as there are lots of shops an attractions around the area, would highly recommend the U-boat just down the street from the apartments.Also went to Hamburg city bus 16, if you download the HVV app you can order tickets an it will show you the stop by your location makes it easy even if not technical.The apartment was one of the best if not the best I have stayed in had a viewing of the river which was well worth the extra.If arriving at night make sure you have the code in advance if not contact the hotel an they shall let you know as no staff available after 9 am to 5 pm. Would highly recommend Clipper boarding house nice quiet homely bars facing it an restaurants all around an pizza take-away in the L'Osteria facing it, the coffee machine is a Nespresso, the bathroom was huge with a bath an shower. Paid 20 euros for late check-out from 11 am to 2 pm which was excellent made the stay more enjoyable as.late flight.Big thanks to receptionists an cleaner from Ireland with love.

Hotel is great-Hotel.com posting should be better
At check in, we were told that there were no parking spaces left in the garage since I did no reserve one for my stay, but there was no mention or option to do that on the Hotels.com posting. I ended up having to park down the street at another garage for a higher price. Also, the posting said that there was a coffee shop and deli on property, but when I asked the front desk they said that there used to be there but closed months ago. Everything else was fine with the stay, staff was very nice and helpful, the apartment was large and very good value for the money and located in a great part of town.
