“A fantastic hotel as your base for exploring Hamburg”

We stayed for 4 nights in this beautifully restored and converted school building (with a car park for those driving). We travelled from Hamburg Flughafen using the S1 train line, changing at Berliner Tor onto the U2 line and then 3 stops to Rauhes Haus (direction of Mümmelmannberg) - about 35 mins in total. Very simple. The neighbourhood is a quiet residential area with a supermarket across the road. The U-Bahn station (Rauhes Haus) is a 4 minute walk, and a very quick and efficient ride into the city centre - do not let this distance put you off, it really is very easy and fast. We received a complimentary upgrade on check-in which was lovely . The room was a good size, gorgeous shower room, high ceilings, a safe, large TV, mini fridge and comfortable bed. The rooms are quiet, sound proofed - our room was directly across from the breakfast room and the doors were so thick we never heard a thing! Room suggestion: a mirror over desk area would be helpful. The room does not have air-con, and even though this is usually an essential for us, we were provided with an electric fan, and as we visited in April/May (although it was exceptionally warm weather) it didn't affect my Tripadvisor rating! Breakfast was from 7-11am each morning, with a very good selection of hot food (scrambled/boiled eggs, sausages, beans, bacon), cereals, juices, bread, cold meats, cheeses, yogurts, fruits, tea/coffee etc. All very good and replenished constantly. The lounge/bar area and outside area was relaxing and stylish. The hotel was immaculately clean throughout. Not many dining options in the neighbourhood, but the tube is so close and efficient that going to a nearby area was no problem at all. Absolutely recommend this hotel as your base for exploring Hamburg.

“A very nice hotel”

A very nice hotel. We stayed there with some friends, when we visited the weinachts market in Hamborg. It is a little outside of downtown, but it is easy to go there by U-bahn. All staff were friendly. Definitely worth a visit, and a hotel I’d recommend.

“Good value”

Very good value for the money. Lovely rooms with Charakter. Stayed herein for to Nights and would choose it again in we need a hotel in Hamburg. Transport To the Center is Quick and easy. Another think I live is that the breakfast Ende at 11 so we could sleep a litten longer

“Strange Experience”

Stayed in June before a flight from Hamburg airport. There are better located hotels in Hamburg for the airport, but thought I’d try this one. Initially, very disappointed with staff on reception. Bald guy shoved a check in form at me and pointed at it. Rooms are really clean and nice enough, but… more

Stayed in June before a flight from Hamburg airport. There are better located hotels in Hamburg for the airport, but thought I’d try this one. Initially, very disappointed with staff on reception. Bald guy shoved a check in form at me and pointed at it. Rooms are really clean and nice enough, but have an odd smell. WiFi is terrible. Bar area is comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Free parking is a real bonus in Hamburg.
