The best hotel we've been in Hamburg so far. The place is a old school turned into an hotel. The decorations are based in the history of the building and you can see all around reminiscence of its previous function.The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. The hotel has a private parking where your car can be safely parked for the night without additional fees.The breakfast was also delicious.

Nice hotel, very convenient free parking. Varied breakfast (but would have appreciated more fresh fruit). Good sized rooms but some noise in the night from a local car garage/industry (fine once window closed). Friendly staff and good bar.

I recently stayed at Hotel Volkschule in Hamburg and had an overall positive experience. The hotel is located in a great spot, well-connected to the U2 underground and the A24 Autobahn, making it easy to get around. There's also a giant parking lot with free parking, which was super convenient.The room was surprisingly spacious for a city hotel, and it was very clean. The bathroom was modern and really top-notch. However, the view wasn’t much to speak of, since the windows were almost underground, looking up at the street. One downside was the noise—since the hotel is apparently in a flight path, you can definitely hear the aircraft engines at times. A bit more soundproofing would have made a big difference.The staff were fantastic—super helpful and responsive, easily one of the highlights of the stay. Breakfast was mixed for me. The food quality was solid but nothing extraordinary. The experience was somewhat spoiled by a lot of loud guests, seemingly groups of business travelers making it feel more chaotic than cozy.A couple of small things would have improved the experience, like a coffee maker or water boiler in the room. Still, with its good location, reasonable prices, and excellent service, I would recommend Hotel Volkschule, especially if you're looking for a well-connected, comfortable stay in Hamburg.

Stayed in June before a flight from Hamburg airport. There are better located hotels in Hamburg for the airport, but thought I’d try this one. |Initially, very disappointed with staff on reception. …

Very clean, tidy, quiet and pleasant Hotel. It has a very strong personal touch in terms of decoration with almost all decorative elements pointing towards the fact that this used to be a school (as the name suggests), it gives the Hotel personality, its very nice.Its a very cared for space, Hygiene is impeccable and there is this vibe that everyone there really cares about the space.Breakfast is very high quality both in selection and freshness.This Hotel is among the ones I have enjoyed the most through my travels.

A bit out of the city centre but in nice area with good public transport. Rooms are relatively spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was just perfect. The only thing that we missed was a kettle :)

I was for a long weekend in Hamburg and stayed at hotel Volksschule. I enjoyed it very much. From the rooms to the bar, the breakfast buffet the decorations in the hallways, everything is done with great care and attention for details.The rooms are well furnished, comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and very modern. The buffet is absolutely lovely.The idea to make a hotel in an old school and decorate it accordingly is amazing and it offers the hotel an air of mistery. The atmosfere is overall very relaxing and I felt very comfortable.The connection to the subway is very good, you can reach the city centre within 20 minutes.I would definately recommend it!
