“recommended”

nice hotel, near hamburgs central train station. staff were very friendly, the room clean and comfortable. the breakfast buffet had a lot of variety. a good budget hotel, recommended!!!

“despite the neighbours...”

Don't let the fact it's above a sex shop dissuade you - this is a nice little hotel and the location proved to be very convenient.

“Very nice and conveniently located”

Very nice room, beds a little too hard, beautiful breakfast room with European style breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful (speak English), street is a little on the rough side (sex shops all around) but excellent security in hotel. Felt very safe. Just 5 minute walk to central transportation station. I would stay here again.

“short break”

as all I wanted was B&B the hotel suited my needs admirabley ,clean room ,comfy bed (could have done with two pillows)a good selection of dishes at the buffet style breakfast.

“Fine hotel”

Stayed for four nights in this hotel with my Son, Daughter in law and Grandson. The service was excellent through out at the hotel, the only downside was the location in which you ran the risk of being propositioned by the ladies of the night. But once you had gone 100 meters you were completely left alone. I would recommend this hotel.

“Location”

While the location is within walking distance of quite a few features of the city, the actual street was a little scary. The entrance is directly between two "sex shops" so it's not exactly family friendly. Due to what I would assume are safety reasons, the hotel locks the door at 7pm and you have ring the doorbell for them to let you in. One of the nights we were there we had to wait to be let in and got to stand next to a real live hooker. Fun stuff. Vicinity to the attractions, pretty good. Actual street? Not so good.

“Good value basic hotel”

Hotel appears to have been refurbished recently. All very clean and functional. Rooms are small and very basic so fine if you're only there for a couple of days or only plan on using it for sleeping. Helpful, friendly staff and a very decent breakfast. Area is a red light district but it didn't feel unsafe. Very close to Lange Reihe which has excellent bars, restaurants, an organic supermarket, bakeries etc. Very handy for U & S Bahn and central station. Would def stay again.

“Great location”

The Novum is about 1 block from the main train station, which is a great location. The street is a bit seedy, but it's not dangerous. The staff were great -- and breakfast was wonderful (nothing fancy, but plenty of it). The room was spotless, the bath very nice -- all in all, a great deal.

“Good hotel and breakfast for the price”

Its for adults. The neighborhood its awful but for the price , clealiness and breakfast its a good price.
