Shower
The only complaint is the space of the shower. Although I know that it is pretty normal for any generic German hotels, I think that they could still do some arrangement, such as relocation of soup bottles, to give a little more freedom for showerers. Anyway, the amount of water and pressure are excellent!

Cozy place for a good price.
We really liked this hotel. It's not far from downtown, but doesn't have a downtown price tag. Breakfast can be purchased separately. They have an arrangement with a parking garage where you can park your car, but it's quite expensive. We paid at a parking meter (with a credit card) to park in the street next to the hotel, for maybe 1/3 the cost.The furniture is a little dated, but very functional. It's not the Ritz, but it's just right for the price. We had a great view of the Tivoli Gardens amusement park from our window.

I love the overhead flat shower head which falls a plenty of hot water like raining. There were many croissant/coffee stops close-by. Wifi speed is ok as long as no huge data transaction is involved.

Great hotel handy for Altona
This hotel was in a perfect location for us as we were in Hamburg for a gig and it was close to the venue and to the station. On arrival we were greeted and pleased to be upgraded. Our room was large and was on the front of the hotel and although the view was nothing special as it overlooked Altona Nord station, it was large, clean, well presented and there was no issue of outside noise Beds were comfortable and the shower and bathroom facilities were more than ample. If we had one small issue it would be that the room lighting was quite subdued and the room was not that bright. We went down for breakfast about 30 minutes before it was due to finish and although it wasn't included in our room rate we decided to pay and eat in the hotel as we were on a tight schedule and didn't want to spend time looking around the locale for something else. Although it was quite expensive at €12 per person there was a really good selection of fruits, pastries and an extensive continental selection and we were able to replenish as often as we wanted. If you were looking for a hotell to explore central Hamburg then this may be a bit far out but if you were visiting the Altona part of the city then I would certainly recommend this hotel

This is a three star near the Hamburg, Altona railway. It was convenient for both the metro and busses. The room was comfortable, clean, and small. It was made up for two people but there was room gor no more than one. Good use was made of space. The staff had a lot of prepared info on transport, restaurants etc. Well done. I have marked this hotel up because they took a simple place and made it work well.

Stopover near Station.
Decent enough room though a little dated. Massive television and room had safe and coffee facilities. Bed was reasonable though the room was a little chilly until heat was turned up and worked through. Clean, tidy and perfectly adequate. WiFi worked eventually but slow.

Nice Hotel ideal fro Train Station
Was a very nice hotel ideally placed for the train station. My only complaint was the single bed could have been a bit longer, but the staff were very friendly and the room was very clean. New towels were placed every day of my stay despite me leaving them on the towel rail to signify they did not need changing. I used the hotel for its convenience to the main line station or the ICE train to Hannover and you could hardly get a closer hotel. It is well placed for the local attractions and shops and is only a few minutes away from the central station on the underground.

Good location, exceptional service.
Convenient location, close to the S-bahn train station, which really connects you to everything else. Service is exceptional: in addition being polite and helpful, they surprised me when I declined room service two days in a row and they hung a bag of fresh towels (in a bag) on my door handle.
