The hotel is in a great location. An easy 5 minute walk to the central train station, maybe 10 to the art museum. It's cheap for the area it's in. The nearby hotels are generally more luxurious. You'll save 100€ walking 3 minutes more. The single person room is very tiny. Shower is too. If you just need a clean bed to sleep in, then it's perfect. I stayed one night and it was all I needed. I paid for an early check in and they were not ready for it, but they fixed the issue within 20 minutes so it was fine. Wifi works. Breakfast will do fine. In my view they serve it pretty late into the day, until 11:30, on weekends which was nice. If you're traveling light and not expecting the Ritz it's a pretty good hotel for the money.

This is a nice budget hotel close to the gay neighborhood of St Georg. The hotel is serviced by an elevator that was in good working order during our stay. I felt very safe both inside and outside the hotel.The room is clean and comfortable. There was ample lighting and the tv had acceptable programming. The bathroom is quite small so you have to plateau your expectations. We reused our bath towels during our stay.The breakfast room is nice with ample seating. The offerings are a bit limited to breads, scrambled eggs, Nutella, coffee and juice.I would certainly stay here again.

Lovely corner hotel in a convenient location with good breakfast.Two critiques, resulting in 4 stars:- My room was on the 1st floor above the entrance. It was July, so early deliveries with running truck engines were loud. More annoyingly, smokers would linger with their smoke coming through the window. There is not much I would expect that the hotel could do about either!- I believe I may have left my laptop charger here and have tried to call and email the hotel to check. The phone connected to solely reservations, not front desk, and I never received a reply to my email.Otherwise a lovely stay

I really recommend Novum Hotel Alster - St. Georg! Everything is simply perfect! Location, rooms, breakfast. I always lodge here when I’m in Hamburg and I feel like home. The Reception Staff is great! A special thanks goes to Fahim who is super professional and kind, always ready to help and welcome with smile, a real great service! I really appreciate!Coming back is always a great pleasure and hope it’s going to be soon!

Regarding price and location you'll probably not find better offers quickly. There are however small things that could be improved.In the bathroom the tiles were loose. The bin was full with trash from the previous guest. The staff decided it is wise to clean the lobby and breakfast room during breakfast.If you don't mind some inconveniences this place is a fine budget place to stay.

The location of the hotel is good. It's at walking distance from the central station but the lady at the reception is absolutely rude. …

Just a 8 minute walk from central station north (Kirchenallee exit). The room I had was medium sized and warm enough (I visited for the Christmas Markets). The room was a little dated but clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was very nice and served at a reasonable time. I will be visiting again.

This hotel is in what you might call the "hotel district" with the up-market Atlantic and the less expensive Ibis facing each other in a street close by.The Novum was very obliging with luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, …

The location is really loud with traffic starting 4 AM. Beds are bad and the rooms dirty. Breakfast vey limited and not living up to a normal German hotel breakfast.||Just a very poor overall performance for a high price!
