This hotel is located nearby central station, but in the midnight, I cannot say it is safe around the hotel- if you are female and planning to go back to hotel at late night, I strongly recommend to avoid this hotel to save your life.Room was very narrow and the wall between rooms seems to be so thin. I could hear a woman next room moaned! What I could not bear was that the towels smelled badly.

No food in the rooms, very simple rooms (do NOT expect anything extra, not even bed lights), you can't bring the room key outside the hotel, and the price was kind of high (for me). But the room was clean, the bed was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. No complaints, just wish the price of the room matched the actual room

I read up on the reviews after booking this place and instantly regretted it, however, once we arrived that completely changed. This is a 2 star hotel and less than €100 a night. For the price it was very pleasant. …

This hotel was very average by all means. It is situated in an area where if you walk in the wrong direction you will enter a sketchier part of town. …

As a low-cost hotel it's fine and for sleeping in a warm place it's sufficient. BUT:Most of the time, only cold or lukewarm water flows!The shower can't be set to your height or the desired angle. The shower head can't be removed. The staff will answer your questions if you have one, but they aren't much interest in their guests.Bed is comfortable, bedroom quite nice, but overall (If I take into account the location of the hotel - close to the railway station, but at the edge of a quite special neighborhood), it worth two, or three stars of my review. Maybe it will be better, but for 2017 it's like I said.

The hotel is around 150 m next to the main station. Everything is walking distance around you. Hotel is very old and nothing renewed. Rooms very small. Toilet even smaller than you think. Sheets clean and towels also. All in all acceptable for short journey in Hamburg but not for a stay longer than 2 or 3 nights. Reception available 24 hours and very kind and helpful.

Pros:Staff were friendlyLocation was very close to Hamburg hbf so all transitTowels and little bar soaps were suppliedShower got hotCons:Our "nonsmoking" room REEKED of smoke. The windows were opened every time housekeeping came in to try to hide it but that just made our room freezing cold because it's December. As non smokers, this was pretty gross.The neighbourhood was very sketchy, and we didn't feel super safe at night.One night we were awoken by a fight outside our window.WIFI did not reach our room enough to do anything but connectFYI- no guests allowed. See the rules in my photo

Stayed here for one night while on a business trip. The one persoon room was small (they normally are) but clean. Bed was good but the pillow could be a bit fuller. The lady behind the reception was very kind and helpful.
