Often "design" hotel look nice but do not offer much else. The Gastwerk, however, is a great hotel in every respect. A great building - the hotel is built into the shell of what appears to be a nineteenth century gas factory (hence the pun "Gastwerk") - lovely spacious, practical and beautifully furnished rooms, a huge lobby and a state... more

We've been home about 2 hours and wanted to write how good a hotel this was before my good intentions to do so later in the week failed. I decided to book this Hotel after another reviewer mentioned they preferred it to the 25hours hotel nearby, which I was about to book myself. I'm very pleased I changed my mind... more

This is not the first time I have visited Hamburg usually staying in a chain like Movenpick. This time I opted for The Gastwerk Hotel and what a great surprise. The Gastwerk Hotel is a very trendy boutique hotel that displays the old iron work from the orginal building alongside new trendy interiors. The hotel has an an amazing Italian... more

I really liked this hotel. It's very stylish, with friendly helpful staff and a great restaurant. It's also very good value, although that may be partly due to the location, which is I gather about 20 mins out of the centre of town in a pretty nondescript suburb. The building is an old gasworks which has been done out as... more

I stayed here for two days and enjoyed the experience. The staff were always plaeasant and courteous and the room (junior suite) was immaculate. The bathroom was spotless, the walk in wardrobe impressive and the overall dimensions of the room were impressive. The only negative comments I would have are the location, 7-8 km from central Hamburg and the lack... more

Some things I can add.... Pluses for the hotel: - exceptionally comfortable bed - large room size (took basic Business loft), with a 'walk in closet'. - Some nice features, like a special power plug inside the safe, so you could 'safely' (no pun intended) leave your electronics charging - nice design, as all have said. - the workout center... more

I just returned from a 2 nights stay in GASTWERK Hotel and as a frequent traveller in hamburg this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in! Gastwerk is located in a old factory and is a beautiful mix of very modern DESIGN and industrial look. I stayed in a 40 m2 luxurious junior suite and I was... more

Stayed in Room 152 from 2-5 Nov after seeing many positive reviews. 152 is a loft room and supposedly one of the better rooms. However it has no soundproofing and is directly above the front entrance. You hear the front door hydraulics all the time, not to mention laundt deliveries rather early in the morning! On complaint the staff say... more

Since my last stay the Gastwerk has improved. Got a twin room with breakfast, use of the spa and 2 €13 taxi vouchers for €304 for two nights just before the world cup. Yes the GW is way out of the centre of Hamburg but with the #2 bus to Altona station every 10 minutes you are very quickly in... more
