I managed to get a room on the top floor - was huge! Great view, great bathroom.. loved it..!
The area of the hotel is fine, but it's pretty sketchy really. I was visiting for 1 night by myself to see what Hamburg was all about, and it was suitable overall - good value, and close to the train line.. but if I were taking my partner or staying longer I wouldn't stay in this general area. Room was excellent, front desk staff printed a train ticket for me on the spot very inexpensive. Elevator was tiny, but whatever - it did the job. Vending machine in the lobby dispensed beers.. Breakfast was included.. the eggs were delicious..! though no sausage or bacon .. still a fine starter for the day. overall - I would recommend this place.. though not for a romantic getaway..
