Brilliant stay very nice breakfast and computable room very close to central train station and all things of interest in Hamburg I would definitely recommend
The staff are wonderful, for a single traveller the room was more than adequate, very comfortable.
The hotel is positioned close to all amenities, restaurants, supermarkets, main train station
first i was able to put my bags in the hotel as i was early in the morning - the people on the reception where very good and polite - the breakfast room was good as it had good choice of food - the room was very good the bed was very comfortable and the room a decent size which included the bathroom
Nice place to stay in a great location. There are a lot of places to explore near by. Awesome restaurants very close to this place. Room was amazing, clean and comfortable. Welcoming staff.
Very nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The location is convenient to the bus terminal and other transportation. A good breakfast was included.
Fantastic appartment perfect for me and the kids when visiting Bratislava. Clean, modern and very good located. The owner was very kind and offered help whenever needed!
Old school but comfortable with excellent hot showers. Breakfast was adequate. My only issue was with the internet that was not consistant.

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!
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.
Clean and comfortable. Shower was excellent with water hot. November visit so it was cold out however room temperature could be adjusted to be lovely and warm
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'.
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.

The location was great as it's near the central train station.Lots of dining options and places to go to in the area.
Very hustle and bustle area on the streets nearby with lots of people around.
The lift has no key card and i worry about security as it's so central and in the city and anybody could just come up to the floors.

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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
The reception give you the impression of a nice spacious hotel.The room smells like my neighbor dead grandma, maybe because it was renovated by Napoleon army when he was younger

Leon who checked me in was very friendly and good at his job. Other reception staff could learn from Leon and improve their performance. My room although basic was clean and comfortable. It also had a fridge and a safe which is great. The buffet breakfast was simple but adequate. Wi-Fi wasn't great. I didn't appreciate my room being entered on the morning of departure at 10.15, they are supposed to know what rooms are checkouts and don't require service.

Good for the money
Overall, it was a good stay. We didn’t expect much for the price, but it was comfortable and clean. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying here in hot weather. The hotel is centrally located, but it can be noisy with people partying all night. The receptionist was polite when we arrived, but not the most helpful. The morning receptionist, on the other hand, was very helpful. We loved the late check-out at 12:00, which is much later than the usual 10:00. Parking spaces are very tight, though.
