7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite standard and lacked decorations, which was a bit underwhelming given the price. On the bright side, I had a corner room with floor-to-ceiling windows offering great views. The service was fantastic, especially the port and river staff who were extremely helpful and accommodating when my flight got canceled. However, I felt a bit shy to ask for certain amenities. The location, although not overly impressive and with a mix-up in bed types, is perfect for exploring the inner city of Hamburg. The proximity to nightlife and the stunning views from the 20th-floor bar were definite highlights. The dining experience was good overall, with a variety of choices; however, the room service layout was a bit odd. The hotel facilities were decent, though not exceptional. Ultimately, the hotel offers some good aspects but also has room for improvement.

The service was top-notch, with the port and river staff being very helpful and accommodating. I only wish I had been more assertive in asking for amenities.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is ideal for exploring the inner city of Hamburg, right around the corner. Great for accessing waterfront attractions and enjoying superb views from the rooftop bar. However, it's located near the red-light district and a gentrified neighborhood, which may not suit everyone.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was good, with a well-spread selection of choices. However, the placement of items was a bit odd, and the final pricing could be clearer.

Facilities

The hotel facilities were decent, offering the basics without any standout amenities. The value for money could be improved in this aspect.

The hotel offers a budget-friendly stay with a view over the harbor but lacks in some room aspects. The service aims for politeness but can be hit or miss. However, the location is close to major attractions, and dining can be pricey but excellent at times.

Rooms

The room on the third floor had a view over the harbor, but it overlooked a less appealing site with weeds and an air con plant.
