Hotel Mercedes Hamburg

For a couple of nights in Hamburg at a cheap price this hotel is fine. Its not The Ritz but its not The Ritz prices. The room was clean & complimentary breakfast is good. Its a 10 minute walk from main railway station.

FOR THE PRICE WE PAID FOR ROOMS,IT WAS GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.APPROX 10 MINUTES WALK TO MAIN RAILWAY STATION.ROOMS LOOKED TIRED AND COULD DO WITH A BIT OF TLC.

This was a great choice for my dad and I who were backpacking through Europe and had only 24 hours to spend in Hamburg. They are located within walking distance of the Eurolines Bus Station and Hamburg Central Station as well, this was convenient because when you land somewhere you've never been I think is a good idea to just go to the hotel, settle in and then head out to town. That is exactly what we did and it worked great very quiet, clean and well located, I don't think I was aware breakfast was included so that turned out to be a very pleasant surprise.

Very convenient location, near main station and public transport. Inviting, smallish rooms, with comfortable beds and good bathroom. Breakfast is plentiful and varied choice. Desk staff efficient, although tried to charge when we left our cases in the lobby on our final day. However, all our 3 rooms were ready when we arrived at noon. Tip: good eating places a few streets behind the hotel, in Lange Reihe, I'd recommend the George at number 97.

The hotel is easy to find. The first impression is good. Rooms are small but clean and satisfying. The only disadvantage was the situation at the street side, it was very noisy. The service was very good, the pricers for beverages acceptable.

I travel a lot and I'm not terribly precious about what some might term as the "finer" things, but this hotel was exceptionally basic. Dirty, tired, old decor; curtains so thin that there was no way to make the room even vaguely dark at night (was this just the street?) . The pipework was so old that the water smelled horrible (was this the city's water supply?). Lift only after the 1st floor, the list, unfortunately, go on. Breakfast choice was adequate, but in this price range, there are literally dozens of hotels in the area that are leagues above this one. We transfered to another hotel on the same street (no problems with light at night as the curtains were sufficient) had a shower in a lovely, clean bathroom (no stinking water smell). The only positive note: the staff, though tired and lacklustre, like the hotel, were at least genuine and friendly.

Neighborhood wasn't that pleasant, service was a bit lackluster. Room was not accessible by elevator.
