This is a good hotel option for being close to a train station, which also has taxis when available. The hotel itself is good. My room pretty much looks like the first pictures room. There is no AC but the windows open (no bugs!) …

The hotel is in Altona, to the side of the station. Altona station is convenient for access to Hamburg's S bahn, the bus station, and intercity and local overland trains. …

I'm glad to have experienced the Rafael. Parts of it felt foreign to me, but it all worked out.||First of all, the Rafael's location is superb. A short walk to the Altona Hbf connects visitors to anywhere in Hamburg or beyond. …

People here are very nice and helpful and the rooms were clean. The rooms are split into two sides which makes no sense and they are very small. The beds are too soft and not very comfortable and also not suitable for couples or families. It is also not convenient to use the elevator because of its size and the rooms in the 4th floor cannot be reached by it - therefore it 8s necessary to walk up from the 3rd floor.

Well arranged and very well manned place. Helpful and caring staff. Some rooms are on the small side, however the bigger ones are perfect. Very comfortable and enjoyable. One point to note - lack of aircon in the summer can be a bother.
