We had a suite with a wonderful skyline view on the top floor of the hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and modern. Nice breakfast. Excellent location near the train station and walkable distance for most attractions of the city. Highly recommend booking a top floor suite at this hotel.

I was doing the Ironman in Hamburg. The hotel was super clean and the staff were amazing however its opposite a casino and the rooms facing the casino are very loud with music. So you have to have the window shut. And there is no aircon so super hot.

German Unity Day parkrun trip

The hotel was ideally placed for exploring the city. The room was on the 6th floor and was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was included in the rate and the vegan food choices were good. The Reception staff were welcoming and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Great location great stay.

Family trip to Hamburg. Hotel is in a great location. Free parking after 8pm in front of hotel on the boulevard street. Other than that a parking structure I was told was 15min away. Room was great and breakfast as well.

Small hotel great location good service Amazing laundry service ! My shirt came back as new
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was lovely and in a great location. It was very close to restaurants and shops. It was an older hotel so the room furnishings were older. The bathroom was remodeled. The breakfast and lounge area were nice. Breakfast offered a variety of items and was very good. If you enjoy a more traditional hotel , I would recommend it. The staff were very courteous and professional.

Perfect. Awesome breakfast.
Torsten, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent value for money. My room was an older style single, but perfectly adequate for a 3 night stay. Good location, near Alster lakes (great for a stroll/run) and beautiful Planten un Blomen park. Rathaus about 1/2 mile. Breakfast and cleaning staff efficient and friendly. Poor WiFi. Laeiszhalle also within easy walking distance, where I attended a concert. Would use again.

Great value

A delightful family-run hotel just 50 or so yards from the Stephanplatz Ubahn station. Comfortable and compact rooms (a little too compact perhaps) and an excellent breakfast. The desk staff are charming and helpful (except for one grumpy young man during the day) and the hotel is remarkable value for money. Congratulations.

I left behind a valuable object, and when I realized it, I immediately emailed the Alster to arrange to have it sent to me at a later destination. When I arrived, it was waiting for me!
Richard, 1-night trip

Great hotel for the price

Easy and fast check in. Very well located. The room is very basic but has what is needed. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness with a very comfy bed and. Could have been better if it had air conditioning, specially during the heatwave now but, unfortunately, not even a fan I had in the room. Staff are all very polite and pleasant. Breakfast is average but ok. The location is, undoubtedly, the highest selling point. If younger travelling on a budget, I totally recommend it.

6/10 Good

Vi har anvendt Alster Hof mange gange gennem årene og genkender meget af personalet. Åbenbart et godt sted at arbejde og derfor også god service. Hotellets morgenmadsrestaurant var under renovering. Det erfarede vi få dage før ankomst og orkede ikke at booke om. Beliggenheden er fin, værelserne er relativt nyrenoverede men allerede lidt slidte. Trods renoveringen er værelserne åbenbart stadig uden aircontition - absolut en fejlprioritering. Der er få parkeringspladser foran hotellet til af- og pålæsning. Det er meget dyrt at parkere i Hamburg sammenlignet med f.eks. München eller Leipzig.
