The S-Bahn S1 connects the airport to Hamburg Hauptbahnhof in 24 minutes, with the hotel just 984 ft from the station. Nearby attractions include the Binnenalster (0.6 miles), Hamburg Rathaus (0.6 miles), and Planten un Bloomen (1.2 miles).

Comfortable Soundproof Rooms

Arts & Nightlife

St. Georg's art studios and cafes surround the hotel, while the Reeperbahn nightlife district is 3.1 miles away. The Elbphilharmonie (1.9 miles) and Hamburg Musicals (2.5 miles) cater to cultural interests.

24/7 Services

The 24-hour front desk assists with luggage storage and wake-up calls. Free WLAN covers the entire property, and vending machines offer drinks. Public parking is available nearby for a fee.

“This hotel, nestled in the St. Georg neighborhood, strikes me as a place that juggles historic charm with modern updates; its family rooms seem well-considered, and the 24-hour reception is a definite plus for international travelers. However, the absence of convenient parking and the mixed reports on breakfast quality give me some pause, and I hope they will find solutions in the future. It appears to be a mixed bag.”
