Budget hotel that is a 5min walk from the Hamburg HBF. It's quiet and I was able to check-in before 3pm. The only prob was the tv channels were only available for less than 15min each day. It's affordable. I'd consider staying here again. Thank you!

This hotel is in a great location near Hamburg ZOB and Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. The only thing I'd say I didn't like was that you could hear the U-bahn trains from some of the floors. So if you want to avoid the worst of that maybe see if you can get a room on a higher floor. Otherwise I I thought it was fine servicable hotel.

Great, if you arrive by bus or train.

Next to bus terminal, line 2 in 10 mins to Speicherstadt and main station, this hotel has perfect location if you come without car. Spacious, clean, well maintained, but not brand new room, quite silent to the court side. Tasty continental breakfast buffet and friendly staff. Good for short stay to visit Hamburg's attractions.

Very Functional

This is a functional hotel, nothing fancy. Bedroom was a good size with mini fridge. Generally it was clean but I did find a previous guests false fingernail by the window. It's not too far from the main railway station, but my wife was put off a bit by some of the characters hanging around the street between the station and the hotel, particularly at night. Over all it was good value, the breakfast was a cold buffet but was quite tasty. I'd stay there again.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Hamburg train station and the pretty St Georg area. The hotel staff are friendly. Our room and bathroom was spacious and clean. The hotel provided free lugguage storage service, which was wonderful! We also had a very enjoyable breakfast. We highly recommend 'Hotel Alte Wache'.

The thing this hotel has going for it is the proximity to the central railway station. The bicycle storage was in an open air carpark behind the hotel and in secure. Reception seemed surprised at my arrival at 10pm. There was no key for my room. In the morning my sightseeing plans were tharted by the unavailability of luggage storage on that day. Why hadn't the hotel foreseen this and made a provision e.g. setting aside a bedroom. The receptionist was unimaginative and inflxible. I have travelled around the world with my bicycle and this was the worst hotel experience.

Basic but fine - the room was basic but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Large shower, clean bathroom. There are no amenities in the room except for a TV. My room was equipped with large windows. The breakfast was also basic but it did the job. The main advantage of the hotel is you can enjoy a good night’s sleep and a hot shower and you are three minutes’ walk from Hamburg’s Hauptbahnhof (Main Station), all this for a good price. The staff was helpful, I appreciated the storing of the luggage after the checkout and kindly offered me an umbrella so I could enjoy the city on a rainy day.
