Convenient hotel location if you’re heading towards the Airbus area in Hamburg. It’s a minute’s walking distance to a boat bus and 5 minutes from grocery stores. The rooms were quite old from around the 90s though, yet clean, without AC as far as I could tell. Can get a bit noisy in the morning during breakfast hours, bed was fine. Staff was friendly, WiFi medium speed, small breakfast buffet with basic local cold options and a nice view on to the water.

Finkenwerder where is this? It is a small island in the Elbe only a few kilometres outside of Hamburg, easily reached by car or by the Hamburg harbour ferries. …

I booked 5 nights. After 3 nights, i decided to leave for an other Hôtel. If you work during the night, you will quickly understand the consequences by yourself !!!The behavior was not in accordance with what a customer can expect even in a small hôtel. I don't enter in all details which are not so important if you take these independently, accumulation + pressure generate a strong disagreament. Leaving an hôtel immediately had never happen in all my life, especialy when you have only 2 remaining days.As a customer, be care when you book this hôtel, if you are not align with the common style of life.

Very calm and comfortable hotel. Breakfast very copious and a lot of choise and home made cakes. It should be fine to have a light diner because there are not a lot of restaurants around.

Here, you can see the ships coming in and going out the Hamburg harbor. Also the Airbus A320 to A389 are fling over your heads occasionally. Not to forget the transport planes from Airbus Industry..That is so cool

Please don't opt for this hotel unless or until there is no other option; they lack basic things room heater not working. Now imagine spending night in freezing cold after paying 90€ for one night.
