I absolutely loved this hotel. Having worked in Hamburg for many years, I always stayed at the old faithfuls and never really looked elsewhere. I just wish I had found this hotel then, I would definitely have made it a must go to place.
The staff are excellent, everyone was so polite, welcoming and left you feeling that they are really happy that you are there.
Food was excellent, the breakfast in particular was excellent with so much choice, it is like a mini banquet.
The hotel is located a few hundred yards from Holstenstrasse train station from which you can go anywhere around the city easily. Tip: if you are travelling in a small party, get the group ticket which is valid after 9.00am and is up to 5 people to travel anywhere on the city network, including some boat ferries at only 12 euros (cheap way to do a harbour trip).
In short, fabulous hotel, great staff, good location, good food, what more do you need?
