I booked this hotel through Booking.com. It is two short blocks from the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, and a 10-15 minute walk to the Rathaus in the Old City. The service was very friendly and helpful...my train was leaving late at night after checkout, so the staff was very helpful in storing my luggage while I went sightseeing in the city during the day. The room was quite small, just one twin bed (no room for an extra one), but for one person it is very adequate and for 40 euros a night, there wasn't anything better. An additional huge perk is the free internet...most hotels require guests to pay, and that can be at least 10-15 extra euros a day, so having free wifi was an excellent bonus.
The only negative is that there is no elevator and the stairs are a bit narrow...if staying here, ask for a room on a lower floor if your suitcase is heavy :)
