The hotel is located in a lovely neighbourhood, very close to the lake (5 minutes walking distance) and with very beautiful and typical Hamburg houses. The rooms have a tatami part with very comfortable futon beds in which I slept like a baby. The rooms are extremely clean and well maintained, very comfortable, simple and functional. The hotel reception is... More

We've stayed at this hotel twice now. It's Japanese themed and the rooms are minimalist but clean and comfortable. The beds are futon style so quite low and the mattresses are firm (but comfortable). There is matting on the floor and the hotel provide slippers so that you don't wear outdoor shoes in the bedroom part of your room. Instead... More

I had the pleasure of staying at this Japanese style hotel during a business trip. Having been to Japan previously I loved the rice mat flooring and the entire Japanese decoration. The hotels own Japanese restaurant has served me with the best Asian food outside Japan. If you like Japanese traditions this is a must stay location during any visit... More

I loved this hotel! Having stayed in numerous anonymous 4 and 5 star hotels, this was a little quirky but enjoyable, sparkling clean, super breakfast and the staff are very nice and helpful. I slept like a baby on the futon mattress and love the tatami matting in the rooms. There is no CNN or BBC to disrupt, so I... More

While it's undoubtedly best (only) Japanese themed hotel in Hamburg, it is little more than a marketing gimmick to stand out from the crowd. The lobby looks like any other low budget hotel save for the japanesque decorations. The rooms are smallish and very sparsely decorated and equipped. The theme serves as a handy excuse to give an "uncluttered" view.... More

The place is fine, but nothing really great about it. The rooms are small and noisy, when u have a room facing the street. Tea and coffee are free. You could rent a bike (is free) to get around the city. The Japanese restaurant is great, shabu shabu is a dream (they cook the soup for it, no instant soup... More

If you like Tatami and Japanese-style this is your place! Room was not so big but very nice and clean. WLan (not WiFi!) is included in the rate and they provide the cable. Great if you want to see Hamburg because, although not centrally located, they have rental bikes that you can take for free. And bikes are really the... More
