Stayed here in Nov. 2011. It is a very convenient location for the university, not far from some lovely old neighborhoods on the lake. The room looked very clean; the pillows were indeed terrible. The breakfast was decent but nothing to write home about; the staff friendly and efficient. My caveats were as follows: The layout over several buildings can... More

We visited Hotel Vorbach early November and it is a construction site. They are working at the front with heavy tools. There is no information or warning about this on the official hotel internet site. So, when we arrived, they put us in a room next to the construction. Early in the morning, we were awakened by the noise of... More

Stayed on the 1st floor. Everything was fine except the noisy pantry on the 2nd floor. Pillow was way too soft. More

We stayed here for two nights while attending a conference at the local Law School. The hotel itself spans two buildings and is a 10 minute walk from Dammtor S-Bahn station (that means it's ~30 mins from the airport). The rooms themselves were quite small and basic. The beds were modern and very comfortable, but the rest of the room... More

Fantastic location. Yet the hotel is in desperate need of a complete makeover. Rooms not very clean and a bit grubby. If you like 1980s retro style, this place is for you. Got a very smokey room. After complaining I was assigned a non-smoking room the next morning. Breakfast very good. This hotel tries to be a boutique hotel, but... More

Our stay in Hamburg was the beginning of a four-week vacation in Germany and Austria, our first trip to Europe. We stayed at this hotel, in one of their apartment units, for six nights in August/September, after a recommendation in a TripAdvisor forum that it might have what we were looking for. In choosing where to stay, it was the... More

The Vorbach is a traditional hotel in a very good area of Hamburg, i.e. the Rothenbaum. The Hotel has been refurbished and everything looks nice and clean. The room I had was big and what is sometimes very important well heated. The bathroom was high standard. Breakfast was ok, service very quick. The bed was horrible though. No comparison to... More
