Spent 1 night at this hotel. We were greeted by friendly and helpful reception staff. We sat in lovely garden area behind the hotel and enjoyed a drink while the room was made ready. Fantastic service all around. Breakfast was good and plentiful and our room was a good size and on the rear of the hotel overlooking the garden. Room has a nespresso machine and complimentary water. Central station is a 10min walk and the lakes are just a 2min walk down the street. The hotel is dog friendly and you will likely find 2 friendly dogs roaming around the hotel.

“Top stay”

Nice hotel. Relatively small but great hospitality. Rooms with nice high ceilings (old building). Area is vey nice in the neighborhood of the Alster but also the Lange Reihe (lots of restaurants) If you want something else than the standard hotel.

“A hotel with character and characters, however at breakfast please say hello, clear a table and smile”

A great location in St, Georg, no welcome at breakfast however. As we were due to arrive late evening, we’d booked to dine in the attached basement restaurant; the receptionist was anxious that we’d missed it; we had, due to flight delay. When she said we’d lost our reservation, we thought we’... more

A great location in St, Georg, no welcome at breakfast however. As we were due to arrive late evening, we’d booked to dine in the attached basement restaurant; the receptionist was anxious that we’d missed it; we had, due to flight delay. When she said we’d lost our reservation, we thought we’d lost our room, panic, but no just the restaurant booking, phew😊 Restaurant was good simple vegetarian Italian, nice wine Room was lovely. Garden lovely But no acknowledgement of presence at breakfast was unsettling .. The hostesses did warm up; we liked their dogs It has character

This hotel is a little quirky. You do have to like dogs, there were three lounging around reception on booking in. I don't really have a problem but I could see it being a struggle for someone with allergy to dogs. I had a very noisy room - facing the front (where a lorry started pumping fuel oil at 6:15am and finished 90 minutes later) and next to the small lift. There's no double glazing and the windows don't close very well with no aircon. I could see this being very cold in the winter if the heating is poor and it was too hot on my stay. So not much sleep. At night there is a little garden with low lighting for a quiet drink and that was very charming. The shower was fine if a little jaded and the WiFi seemed to work OK. It's easy to get the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and so to the airport. It was all just a bit odd and quite expensive as well.
