Hotel Details

Location

Within a 2-minute walk of the Alster Lake and CCH Exhibition Centre, with Stephansplatz U-Bahn station 2 minutes away.
The hotel is situated on a busy main road in central Hamburg, offering direct access to shops and cultural venues. Jungfernstieg shopping district and the State Opera House are a 5-minute walk, and Dammtor Intercity train station is a 5-minute walk. The main train station is a 15-minute walk or 6 minutes by U-Bahn. Planten un Blomen park and the Alster Lake provide nearby outdoor space. Street-facing rooms are affected by traffic noise even with windows closed; rooms on the courtyard side are noticeably quieter. The location is highly walkable for city centre exploration and well connected by public transport.

Accommodation

Bright rooms with classic-style décor, satellite TV, minibar, and a private bathroom with hairdryer.
Room sizes vary; some single rooms are compact while renovated rooms are spacious and modern. Non-renovated rooms have dated furniture, older bathrooms with fabric shower curtains, and worn carpets. Noise from the main road is significant in street-facing rooms - courtyard-facing rooms are quieter. Air conditioning is not available; opening windows worsens noise. Rooms on higher floors reduce street noise slightly. Renovated rooms feature modern bathrooms and better insulation. Twin-bedded rooms can be requested. A family room with a sofa bed is available, but the sofa bed is not separated from the main bedroom. Safety deposit box, heating, and a work desk are provided. No balcony, tea/coffee making facilities, or iron in rooms (steamer available at reception).

Wellness and Leisure

Free use of a modern fitness room and sauna; a solarium is available for an extra charge.
The fitness room is equipped with three cardio machines and some strength equipment, though maintenance may vary during renovation work. The sauna is free for all guests and offers a convenient way to unwind. A solarium is available at an additional charge. No swimming pool or full spa is on site. The nearby Alster Lake and Planten un Blomen park provide jogging and walking routes.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room on the courtyard side or higher floor to minimise street noise from the busy main road.

  • 02

    Use the U-Bahn station at Stephansplatz or Dammtor station for airport and city connections; walking to the main station takes 15 minutes.

  • 03

    Factor in the daily city tax of €2.14 (single) or €4.28 (double) payable at checkout.

  • 04

    Book a newly renovated room for modern furnishings and better soundproofing; non-renovated rooms are dated with older bathrooms and less insulation.
