There is no elevator, and rooms up to the 4th floor.Approachable via winding, narrow stairs. with luggage it's a challenge and not safe from falling down. After I managed to climb to 4th floor, I figured no heat from wall heater nor from the one in the bathroom. Went back to the receptionist...mind you...below the first floor and complained. The guy said to wait 15 min. So I climbed back up again and waited for 30 min. Still ice cold. Climbing down again, asking for a different room with working heater. Now he cranked out a double room on 1st floor, but bathroom only available across the floor, not en Suite. So I agreed, and there was no discount offered for the hassle. On the end I was drenched in sweat from all the climbing up and down. I also noted there was no cup available for brushing teeth...not in the bedroom and not in the bathroom. All in all, I wont book this hotel again. Imo an affordable price doesn't justify inferior service or facility.

Ok if you simply need a place to sleep
The hotel is very basic and the rooms are tired. We had the good room with a private wetroom in the corridor outside our room. However the door couldn't be locked from the inside. Needless to say I wasn't going to shower in there. The way in is up a steep staircase to the first floor (more stairs to our room) so getting luggage up and down was tricky. The room was tired and very, very noisy at night. The area is down at heel and doesn't feel fully safe. The room was clean but even so we only stayed one night and booked ourselves into another hotel for the remaining 2 nights of our stay in Hamburg. We do recommend the excellent Indian Singh hiding one the first floor a little way up the road.

No lifter to the rooms, have to climb the stairs up to your room, no breakfast, no room service, but the room is recently refurbished is clean and with acceptable space, is an option if you pay cheap or there are no other near by

Good enough for me
Been there several times, it is fairly close to the railway station, so easy access for a late night arrival and it is NOT a hostel or dorm or a flea pit like most of the other hotels in the area Friendly guy that runs it. This place used to be a bit of a dive, but over recent years he has done the rooms up and they are of a good standard. Area it's self is a bit rough and quite scary but I have never been bothered and generally walk down the next street to access it

Property is in the heart of Hamburg downtown, very close to the train station. Staff was very polite and friendly. I didn't enjoy the flight of stairs to enter the hotel at the end of a long day of walking.

Smokey smell in a non-smoking room
The photos look nothing like the real place (anymore). The single room I rented was on the 5th floor, no elevator. The room was "non smoking" but there was a very very strong smoke smell in the room. There was no more soap in the soap dispenser. The carpet had an unimaginable amount of stains and was peeling off at the corners. There was a horrible smell coming from the carpet. There was no desk, just a small table. Electrical wires are strung along the wall. There is a nice big closet for clothes. The bed was decent, I slept well. The curtains and windows were half broken. The surrounding area is very seedy. Upside is that eateries and usually open late, mostly kebab. It's loud outside day and night but on the fifth floor not too much of a bother. The bathroom and shower is shared. There's one toilet per floor. Toilet paper was out for most of the time. There are two shower cabins. The shower room was renovated recently but awkward in size and design. The warm water runs out after about 6 minutes. There is no soap. Towels are provided. Check in was easy. The man did not seem to know what he was doing. Reception was open till midnight. A keycard is provided to open the downstairs door afterwards. I was expecting a bit more from this hotel, based on the pictures. Or at least a lower price. Convenient short walk to central station.

Old and not clean
The good things: comfortable bed and good breakfast. The bad things: The hotel is old, inside the room looks newer; we had the bad experience of a strong cigarettes smell for the only night we stayed; and the bathroom was not clean as expected.

This is a brave little hotel in a downtown area. My room was very clean and in good decorative order. The bed was comfortable. It was quiet and I slept well. It is a budget hotel and I got more than a budget experience so I have no complaints.

The breakfast was a bonus however there were other real problems. The shower room requires some update and maintainance, having a unpleasant shower base with mould showing in several places. The reception staff needed more training trying to charge me for the room which I had already paid Expedia for. The rooms lacked sound insulation and I could hear a great deal of what was happening next door. An electric soc

Mediocre, even within its price band
We needed somewhere inexpensive and central as a base for an activity weekend, so I guess we got that, but having stayed in plenty of similarly priced and situated hotels in other German cities, in comparison this one is a bit below par. The hotel was surprisingly quiet at night (given the location) and our beds were comfortable, the in-room bathroom new, and there are plenty of good places to eat nearby (the Persian restaurant across the road is very good). However, there was a dirty duster on the floor when we arrived (and a small pile of dust), towels hadn't been provided (we had to ask - and we did this twice during our five-day stay) and there wasn't enough toilet paper provided (we had to ask for that as well). The shared bathroom facilities looked in dire need of deep renovation and there was clear need for repairs in the bedrooms as well (e.g. missing bits of doorframe). Ok for what we needed, but it wouldn't be our first choice on another occasion.

The shared shower turned out to be a shower cubicle inside a cupboard. There was about a foot of space between the cupboard door and the shower and a foot at the side of the shower and the wall. Meaning you had to get undressed and dressed partially inside the shower. I've seen better shared shower facilities in a low grade hostel.

Even for "budget" accomodation...
The room was clean, the staff (what little I saw of them) were polite and the location is convenient to the train station. Otherwise there is not much good to say about it. For example, the door to the shared WC wouldn't lock, although it was also so hard to open that you'd have warning if someone tried to come in. One of two shared showers was closed; the other was installed in a hall closet in a way that made it extremely awkward to use. Noise at night was disruptive, mainly from the street but to some extent from within the building.

Did want it said in the advert
Room was fantastic but up 5 flights of steps which may hinder some especially if they are full of beer - but OK Room was clean and bed comfortable View outside on the terrace was great and a welcome change from being cramped up looking thru a dirty window (that barely opens) which is the norm for Hamburg The external bathroom and shower have not been updated and the complete opposite of the room in that were quite smelly and a tight fit for anyone of a large build I was only stopping over night and had an early start so the free breakfast next door was a welcome change Not the hotels fault but the area can be un pleasant and there seems to be more prostitutes than ever before (even at 7AM in the morning) and they seem to be more persistent in chasing you for your trade - all seems to be migrants, still you can't fault them they have come to the promised land of Germany and they all have got themselves a job in the worlds oldest trade!

Property a bit run down compared to other places we've stayed in. Also MANY undesirable folks loiter outside hotel and along street, leaving one feeling uneasy coming and going. Also was NOT told at time of reservation that bathroom was shared and had to pay another €40 to get room with one at checkin. Bed....AWFUL! Shower....Mold and dirty shower curtain.
