"Nazal (or Nazar) was incredibly rude, even though I was as polite as possible. I simply asked for a towel and was completely willing to pay for it. The way I was treated made me feel really uncomfortable. I understand that working at the front desk can be stressful (I work in front desk management myself) but there’s no reason to treat guests this way, especially when they’re only asking for something as basic as a towel. People come here to enjoy their few days off, and interactions like this...

Top Hamburg Hotel Reviews

Pierdrei Hotel HafenCity Hamburg

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing hotel in a really great location that’s close to all major landmarks and attractions! Also right next to a bus stop that links to the main train station (which is only 12 mins away). Great staff, friendly service, very clean rooms, and great theme. Would highly recommend!! The neighbourhood is also very nice, safe, and close to a lot of trendy restaurants."

Premier Inn Hamburg City Klostertor

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is about 17 minutes away from Hamburg central station. It is a good location and a safe one. It is walkable. Bus # 12 runs right in front of the hotel. There is a train within 4 minutes walk, but I can’t remember its number. It has some food places within walking distance. It was, however, difficult to find anything open before 6 pm. Sunday many places are closed. We walked to central station daily because of our plans to see sites required using public transportation. Therefore, we bought food near central station. Plenty of Resturants and stores to buy fruits, etc. The hotel staff are nice and responsive, we want to specifically thank Micaela for taking care of our many questions and responding to our needs for a quiet room, etc. She was very helpful, polite and welcoming. The room is spacious with siting area( desk and lounge chair). One small open space that they considered closet, but it is really not enough. We made it work. The room has air conditioning, refrigerator, coffee & tea maker. They provide water, coffee, tea, cream & sugar. No safe which we paid extra for premier plus room so that we can have all the above plus a safe. The one thing I am hoping for is that they will pull the rug out of the rooms and replace with wood floors. We would definitely stay at this hotel again."
