5/5
I stayed with a friend for 2 nights visiting Hamburg. Perfect for what it is and what they promise. The shared toilets, bathroom and everything were very clean. Everything was quiet, the place is relatively small and definitely not chaotic-type, unlike some places at that price range. The beds were very comfortable, I slept amazingly well. Location very very central. The reception person was nice, helpful and kind. The building is old and there is nothing fancy or luxurious to expect, but more than enough for enjoying a stay in Hamburg for a few days and nothing to complain about (except the inconvenience for me of not having an elevator, but I knew that beforehand so can’t really complain; but definitely not a suitable option if accessibility is important).I really liked it. I will 100% book again next time I revisit Hamburg.

Our room only had a shower and sink in it, not an actual bathroom, which is what I expected, but it is probably my own fault for not reading the description carefully. It was quite and clean. …

We stayed at the hotel for two nights, to shuts and the small children in the family room. Plenty of room and there was a bathtub. It's not new but clean. Only downside is that it is on the second floor with no elevator. Location couldn't be better!

We stayed for one night in Room 1, which doesn't come with a private bath (I think most others do). …

No elevator - but we needed the excercise. Room was very functional and very simple. We had a small TV in room with numerous channels -- even English speaking. Reception was friendly. This place is right in the middle of the city which we really enjoyed. We thought this place had ambiance -- we loved it.
