My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small and a bit challenging to maneuver, but they were clean, well-furnished, and quite cozy. The service was friendly and welcoming, although more attention could have been given to serving. The location was superb, just a few minutes walk from the main train station, offering easy access to public transport and good restaurants. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of items to choose from. However, the hotel lacked some facilities that could have enhanced the overall experience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were uncomfortably small and not very clean, with noise from the corridor waking me up in the morning. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with a charming receptionist who was incredibly helpful. The location was convenient, being close to the central station, but it didn't feel very safe. The dining experience had limited choices, but the price was reasonable. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though small, were cozy, warm, and immaculate, making it feel like a dorm room. However, there was a strong lingering smell of old stale cigarettes and cigars throughout. The service was adequate, with some odd practices like encouraging diners to wear disposable gloves but not changing their own. The location was ideal for sightseeing and close to Hamburg Hbf, but the 4€ charge per bottle was off-putting. The dining options were good, with a continental breakfast spread, though the main level room felt a bit dark and cramped. The facilities were satisfactory, but nothing stood out.
