This hotel is situated really close to central station. That's not too close to main sightseeings, but it gives you access to several U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations from which you can travel to any interesting part of the city and reach airport within 0,5 hour, railway, which can deliver you, for example, to Bremen or Lubeck, and a lot of cafes, fastfoods and foodstores which are useful because work much longer than usual city's shops and restaurants. Room was large and clean enough, staff was friendly and breakfast was large and tasty. Internet access was provided by one computer near reception desk. Also there isn't many public toilets in Hamburg so it was often easier and cheaper to go to hotel than to search any public toilet. Price difference between this hotel and hotels that are situated a bit closer to historical center shall cover you tickets for public transport.

The Terminus hotel is approx. 300metres from Hamburg Central rail station. As we were a party of 4 adults with considerable baggage this was important. We were able to trolley our bags to the hotel without any problems.

The hotel provided a room with 4 single beds with private bathroom. As we were only there for 2 nights this was adequate. A good breakfast was provided in the main breakfast room.
An elevator is available but does not go to all floors. Our room was on the second floor and the elevator went to the 3rd floor which meant we had to carry our bags down to our room. The elevator must come from the last century but is OK.
The local residences appear to be mainly Turkish or Arabic and the area is very dirty. The street is cleaned every day early morning but by mid afternoon it is dirty again.
The hotel has very good security with CCCV camera at the from door and code to enter the hotel.
There is also a laundromat close by which is good for travellers.
Hamburg is a great city and well worth a visit. If so then track down the free walking tour of Hamburg, very good.

It is hard to give a fair review of this hotel. What do you expect of a double room at 60 euro, just in the middle of the city ? Breakfast included. The hotel shows absolutely no luxury. It has a very modest entrance, just a door surrounded by sex- and kebabshops. Still not frightening area to walk in. Reception in 1. floor, up a narrow stair or a tiny lift.. Location very close to Hauptbahnhof is very good. The room was clean and the bed good. Very little street noise at our stay (thursday night). Bathroom about 1,6 x 1.6 metres gave the minimum of space for a toilet, sink and shower. Breakfast was ok with you need. So the conclusion is "OK for a night or two". I recommend it on conditions.

Me and 6 other mates stayed in this hotel, in triple rooms & one single room. The rooms were on the small side but the beds were comfy and the bathroom was clean. For us the location was perfect, about a minute's walk from the train station, and a 15 minute walk to the beautiful town hall/city centre (there are buses everywhere near the hotel if you're not a keen walker). Breakfast was included and as a vegetarian I thought it was good, my meat-eating mates weren't as satisfied however. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and the only real problem we had was when we returned to the hotel late one night (around 1am) it took about 15 minutes for someone to buzz us in and reception had left our keys on the desk, where anyone could have gotten to them. So if you're planning a late night, maybe let reception know. There were fairly decent restaurants nearby and get yourself to the Viking Bar around the corner because we had the greatest time there!
