Water Art Elbinsel Kaltehofe Tours

It disheartens me to write this because the other Barcelo hotels in Valencia and Lanzarote have been much much better and have always gone above and beyond with their service, whenever we have stayed with them. Unfortunately, our stay in the Hamburg hotel was very different, to say the least. Positives : Room with modern fittings. Clean. Free room safe. Friendly staff. Great location. Negatives : Room phone not working and not repaired, so no use at all when needing to ask for help, using the phone. Key card (used for the power) taken by the cleaner(s) and not replaced until the second evening. The consequence of this was the room was overwhelmingly warm upon returning to the room. A 24 hour room service finishing at 10pm. The biggest disappointment was the hotel not replying to a direct message/request 48 hours before arrival. It has to be added that the Barcelo group are usually very prompt at responding. Overall, our stay was underwhelming. We booked the hotel on the quality of service we have had at the other Barcelo hotels.

The hotel is very classic manner and has historical bacground, everything was fine.

Great hotel, would have rated 5 stars but we stayed there on a Monday - restaurants closed, limited dinner options in the bar lounge. Long wait for everything. Beverage prices excessive for the quality (e.g., Grauburgunder by the glass @ EUR 11/100ml would have to be remarkable; the wine on offer was of low complexity, flat, not fresh)
