Simonsberg Vacations from $1,368

We came in from a long flight and journey; approximately two days,anrrived ant 10.40 pm, only to be greeted with, we have no reservation for you. Showed the booking, then to be told there are no more rooms, but you can walk two minutes to another partner hotel. Said to the clerk, that we just paid a taxi to arrive here, coupled with the fact that it was raining and it was our first time in Germany. He made a call and said a taxi would come soon, just wait outside to flag the taxi. Taxi arrives, but refuses to take all three of us, with our three pieces of luggage. Said one of you would have to walk; with luggage;only two minutes away and proceeded to give directions. No choice at this stage but comply as all you want to do at this stage is get to your destination. Upon arrival at the other hotel, issue again with the taxi driver about payment, which had to be settled by the hotel. Not a very warm welcome to Germany. Must say though that the clerk at the partner hotel was satisfactory. Gave the basic information about room number and breakfast. NOT ONCE DID ANY MEMBER OF HOTEL STAFF OFFER ANY TYPE OF APOLOGY Actually don’t see why I have to pay for this type of service.

Nice environment in park area

Property was well kept and food/bar options were excellent

Great location near the train and shopping area

Conveniently located in Hamburg. It's close to many restaurants, shops, and even a museum (Kuntshalle). It's located in a quieter area but close enough to everywhere else that it doesn't feel isolated. The staff was friendly and responsive to our needs. Marzia, in particular, was very helpful when we checked in. My biggest complaint was the loud bathroom noises coming from the pipes intermittently throughout the night. Otherwise, I recommend this place to someone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.
