This hotel is located in Altona, one of the best areas of Hamburg, right by the river. The rooms are spacious and have a homely feel, although they could benefit from better heating control. The staff is warm and friendly, making the service quite pleasant overall. One downside is that I didn't get to experience the dining myself, but it looked appealing. It's an excellent value for money with a strong focus on comfort and location.

This hotel boasts a wonderful location in Altona right by the river, which allows for a peaceful stay. The rooms are fantastic, quiet, and well-equipped, while the staff is friendly and helpful. However, there were some hiccups with the service regarding room reservations, and while the breakfast was great, it came at a high price.
