I have stayed at the same hotel for some years now when I attend the Hamburg Messe show every year. The hotel fits the bill in every way, the staff are friendly, the food is always good and most important it is not expensive to stay there. You are within walking distance of the center and you also have lots... More

Return visit for the Christmas markets and Muse concert. It's located right beside a U-bahn station and within walking distance of the centre...really good. It's clean, friendly with a good breakfast.Nothing special but served our needs perfectly.

The Alster Hof is centrally located, the rooms are spacious, and the breakfast is very nice. This was a work trip for me and I was surprised that the hotel did not have complimentary wifi...This turned out to be very inconvenient. There are some internet cards for sale, I think about 20 Euros for 24 hours... Overall good value for... More

Very basic town hotel. Nearest metro station was almost in the front of the hotel, which was nice. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. Room was clean, but really cold and small. There were also strange noises behind the wall (there were no room), so i didn't sleep well. Traffic noise was also loud behind the window. Not for light... More

Stayed one night only. Was pleased to get a warm welcome after a long and trying day of cancelled and delayed flights. Easy check in after arriving at 11.30pm with a recommendation for a couple of close by restaurant/bars. The Alster Hof's own bar is not open on Mondays. Very close, about 5 minutes walk, to the Alster See so... More

The best thing about this hotel is definitely its location. There's a subway station around the corner and the Rathaus is 10 minutes away by foot. My room was small but clean. Esplanade can be a busy street, so it can get noisy with the traffic and sirens. The hotel is next to a Hofbrau pub, with people drinking and... More

Fourth time staying here - U-bahn 2 minutes away, restaurants and shops round corner on pedestrianised Collonade.Alster's a few minutes walk. Rooms are fine and comfortable. Good variety for the buffet breakfast with attentive staff to ensure you have coffee soon after entry to the restaurant(only serves breakfast). Cosy little bar run by Dieter - friendly guy. Worth booking well... More

We stayed at Alster-Hof for a few nights. We flew to Hamburg and then used public transportation to the hotel, S-Bahn one stop and then 8 stops with U-Bahn. Once we stepped out of the underground it was only a walk of about two minutes to the hotel. We arrived before lunch-time and our room was already ready then, so... More
