The hotel is a good 3 star property. Rooms (at least the ones we had) are very spacious, clean and the beds ok. TV was outdated and the remote wasn´t working. Well, we did not travel to Hamburg to watch TV. The main railway station across the street had not negative effect (noice, drunken people, etc.). The restaurant next door (Paulaner) was a pleasant surprise.

The location is just unbeatable. Easy acces from airport by train and to the city by bus. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel. Ofcourse it is also possible to walk to the center.
Room was large and so was the bathroom with big bathtub. We had a room faceing the back yard, so it was very quiet. It was also very clean. The bed was comfortable with 4 soft pillows!
Breakfast was good enough.
The only negative things are: no mini bar/mini fridge and the area in the evening is a bit unpleasant. As always near big stations.

This hotel is similar to staying in a closest. I don't expect large rooms, especially in Europe, but I do expect them to be somewhat the same size as the pictures on the website. If I was traveling with anything larger than a carry-on size suitcase, there wouldn't be any room to put it in the room. The television in the room looks like it belongs in a college dorm room and is on this tiny little stand that you can't see it while lying down. You'd also think they'd supply the bed with a duvet that actually fits it... I guess guests are supposed to freeze at night?

The bathroom: looks like something from out of a horror movie. The shower won't stop dripping and the toilet flushes constantly on its own.

Also, you are "not allowed" to take your key with you when leaving this hotel! You pay for the use of the room and you (assumingly) leave your belongings in there, but you are not allowed the "privilege" of taking the key with you!! It's kind of like staying in a prison... And one warning - if you do take your key with you, you will be berated by the front desk and treated like a child. I'm so glad I'm paying for this experience...

Bottom line: free breakfast and wireless internet are nice, but you can get a cheap breakfast almost anywhere in this city. If you like paying to stay in prisons, closets, and generally being treated like a child, then this is the place for you!! Otherwise, look elsewhere.

clean hotel and good breakfast. Our room looked out over the station but we had no problem with noise and had a good night's sleep. Room was clean but a bit small but it is only for sleeping in after all. The only thing was a funny smell in the lift and corridor, which our friend could smell in her room. The receptionist could have smiled - she looked downright miserable.
Hotel was in a good location opposite the railway station and a short walk to the christmas market and shopping area.
