We had a perfect stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The staff were incredibly helpful and supportive when we encountered a small issue that was completely beyond their responsibility. Despite this, they went out of their way to assist us and made sure everything was resolved smoothly. Their professionalism and kindness truly stood out and made our stay even more pleasant. We would happily return and highly recommend this place to others.

The best home away from home when visiting Hamburg.
Large clean and very comfortable rooms. The service is amazing, and the views are unbelievable.
Lots of food options at walking distance.
I would book here again and again, and again! :)

NIce large rooms with kitchen and a bathtub. They was supposed to send information on how to check-in (no staff after 17:00) 48 hours in advance but did not. So there was stressful with mailing and phone calls. They are not very helpful

Vi blev mødt af et imødekommende team der vsr meget hjælpsomme. Vi havde et Business room, det var pænt og rent. Køkkenet var godt udstyret, dejlig stor seng i soveværelset. Vi havde også en opredning på sovesofaen i stuen og der sov man også godt. God udsigt fra værelset. Der vsr pænt og rent på hele hotellet
Vi havde en udfordring med varmen på værelset, og det fik personalet hurtigt styr på.
Hvis man kunne ønske noget så ville det være et sted til at hænge overtøjet i gangen/entré.
Vi takker for et dejligt ophold
