Great Welcome when you first come in. Given the price of €59 the reception and bar is pretty trendy. Rooms are basic but very clean and modern. Room is a bit like a very upmarket student dorm including Loewe TV. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and there are plenty of them. Great value for a one night business trip. Watch out for that big fire on the TV in reception, I'm sure I could feel the heat from it sitting at the bar.

Motel One Hamburg Alster
Date : May 20, 2010

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights with my family. We had 2 rooms here.
The hotel is neat and clean. Rooms are not very big but comfortable enough. Have the basics, air conditioning, tv, basic bathroom ameneties, hair dryer.

Very minimalistic, tasteful decor. Everything in the hotel is in the combination of brown and blue. Very nice to look at.

Our rooms were on the ground floor so made it easy for a quick entry and exit. Also, the coffee shop is located next to the lobby so made that easily accessible as well.

Some of the drawbacks. They don't have a concierge service and no trolleys etc. to carry luggage. So if you're travelling with any amount of luggage, you're left to carry it to and fro all by yourself. No one will even offer to give you a hand.

The front desk attendants barely speak any English, so it makes it really difficult to get any information that is even a bit complicated. Their knowledge is very limited.

Food - the breakfast buffet at the coffee shop is just about okay as well. Just the basics and almost no choice for vegetarians except breads and cut vegetables. Besides the breakfast service they only serve sandwiches through the day. So if anyone is looking for a full meal, you have to step out of the hotel.

So basically, clean hotel, decent rooms, comfortable to live in over all.
There is a Burger King and McDonalds at walking distance, so if someone is hungry food is just a couple of minutes away.
But considering it wasn't very cheap, I'd suggest you spend a bit more or maybe the same amount for a hotel which at least has some service.

This hotel is quite a way from the city centre but approx 15 min drive from airport and close to business area.
The rooms are neat & tidy, with a comfy bed, flat screen TV and tasteful decor. I also had free wi fi during my stay.
Breakfast was continental style, well presented and tasty.
I would recommend this hotel for business travellers.

Even tough this hotel is a bit far from the city centre but i would recommend it if you don't mind travelling about 15 minutes to get to city centre. We stayed in Motel One Altona 3 nights during Christmas 2009-10 and we truly enjoyed our stay. Room was small by Hamburg standard but it was beautifully Even tough this hotel is little far from city centre but i would recommend it if you don't mind travelling about 15 minutes to get to city centre. We stayed in Motel One Altona 3 nights during Christmas 2009-10 and we truly enjoyed our stay. Room was small by Hamburg standard but it was beautifully decorated, modern and contemporary, immaculately clean with beautiful modern bathroom. Hotel is maintained to a very high standard, staff are friendly, very helpful and very professional. Breakfast was fantastic with a good range of choice. From the time you enter this hotel you are impressed, specially with the lobby and reception area.
