Booked my first business trip to Hamburg and ended up here, since its within proximity of the office I was visiting. How a hotel cannot have wireless in 2012 is beyond me. They rented me an ethernet cable that jacks into the wall, but it barely reaches to the bed. I have to go downstairs to the desk and renew... More

The Germans love big breakfasts and if you love an even bigger one which is still properly priced, then this is the hotel to go to! I stayed in various rooms, including corner rooms at high floors, overlooking the Elbe and the harbour and always enjoyed the stay in this hotel. The rooms are relatively expensive given their size and... More

I had booked a so-called 'harbor view' room which turned out to be on the 7th floor where part of the view was in fact obstructed by the building on the other side of the street. I had also booked a business package (with internet, newspaper and breakfast included). However, it turned out that there is no wireless internet in... More

We went to the bar and suddenly we were stuck in the elevator for more than 30 Minutes. It took very long to get out. Afterwards there was no excuse from the Hotel. The Reception said we should get a compensation, but it never happened. As said there was not even a "we are sorry". This is not acceptable for... More

We stayed here for one night, booked by employers, & having read what others have said before us we wondered what we would find......The hotel looks quite daunting from the outside - a massive construction of dark iron girders?! Once inside though the atmosphere is relaxed & spacious. The staff were all very helpful & friendly, & not at all... More

New, modern hotel in the city. Nicely decorated, with a lot of fashion-forward details and furnishings. Wasn't able to get wireless internet in my room and I didn't have a LAN cable, but didn't mind a day off the grid. Recommended for a fun weekend trip in a perhaps surprisingly attractive and happening city. Perhaps not perfect for a longer... More

A unique fairly new lifestyle hotel - very nice bar on 20th floor - views over the harbour and Elbe -- close to Reperbahn!

The hotel feels brand new and features conte party furnishing. My room, 1902, had glass on 2 sides and overlooked river Elbe. On the 20th floor a popular bar offers the same, but I preferred enjoying it from my bed.

Quality hotel with quite high standards. Awful ironing equipment for loan. Tiny beers in restaurant and beer (this is Germany, right?). No wi-fi.
