“This property strikes me as a solid choice, especially given its location a short walk from the Alster Lake and Jungfernstieg. The older-style rooms are perfectly adequate, and the inclusion of a rich breakfast certainly sweetens the deal. For travellers seeking a personal touch and good value in a central Hamburg location, it warrants consideration.”
