Hanseatischer Shabby Chic

Das Hotel wurde 1904 gebaut und die Inneneinrichtung scheint noch original aus dem Kaiserreich zu entstammen. Alles etwas abgestoßen, aber mit wunderbar authentischen Charme. Das Haus ist somit das Gegenteil zu einem synthetischen Kettenhotel und bezauberte mich mit seinem authentischen Charme. Schön, dass es so etwas noch gibt.

Hyggeligt familie hotel i Hamborg

Gammelt hyggeligt hotel. Lydt men charmerende og som altid meget rent i Tyskland. Kan generelt godt lide atmosfæren i denne slags hoteller. De har sjæl. Morgenmad kunne de godt gøre noget bedre men det skal siges at hotel var næsten tomt sandsynligvis pga Corona

Müsste renoviert werden

Bei diesem Aufenthalt haben wir eigentlich bekommen, was wir für den Preis in Hamburg erwartet hatten. Ein sauber geputztes Zimmer mit einem bequemen Bett in einem Hotel, das allerdings dringend renoviert werden müsste. Das Bad war in keinem allzu guten Zustand, es fehlten Fliesen und es war scheinbar Luft in den Leitungen, sodass es aus dem Wasserhahn schwallartig spritzte und die Dusche sich mit einem lauten Knall in Gang setzte, der den Duschkopf aufplatzen ließ. Im Treppenhaus sah es an einigen Stellen ebenfalls sehr provisorisch aus ... Direkt neben dem Hotel war eine große Baustelle, die am Wochenende aber nicht gestört hat. Der Empfang an der Rezeption war freundlich. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht in Anspruch genommen.

In der guten alten Zeit hängen geblieben

Der Lift stammt aus dem Jahr 1966 - der Rest des Hotels wohl auch und viel gemacht wurde seither anscheinend nicht. Mein Zimmer war winzig und eingerichtet wie die Wohnung meiner Grosseltern - wahrscheinlich ideal für Nostalgie-Reisende, aber alle anderen würden sich wohl freuen, wenn hier ein Bisschen in Modernisierung investiert würde. Das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend... auch hier mit dem Charme der "guten alten Zeit".
