Fraser Suites Hamburg

10/10 Excellent

"It was literally perfect"

Adina Apartment Hotel Hamburg Speicherstadt

4/10 Poor

"Not good value for money compared with others in the area. Slow and inattentive check in staff, bathroom door doesn’t fully close (open 2-4”) so not private if you’re sharing. Room cleaning every 3days unless you ask for more each day, even when requested they didn’t come. Parking is shared with the hotel next door, yet they charge €10more per night (€40). Avoid. "

Ruby Lotti Hotel Hamburg

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff were amazing! I don’t remember the names for everyone - I can’t remember his name but the Argentinian man working those nights was amazing! The bar is 24hrs which I was pleasantly shocked by. Nina was super helpful - had a little issue with the TV & she came & fixed it no problem. Luna was also great on check in! Amazing all around - would recommend! "

Reichshof Hotel Hamburg

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in great location. Wecoming and effiecient staff. Good sized room (kingsize double) with comfy beds and large shower room. Loved the wash items - soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion. Really good buffet breakfast with great hot and cold selection and served for a long period of time to suit guests with leisure and work requirments. Would definitely recommend and will stay again when next in Hamburg."
