Hotel Hafen Hamburg

I chose to stay here because it was very close to the water and had seemingly great views. It was a very close distance to the tour boats and has large stairs leading down to the river. It is a very cool property. When booking, I looked at each room and selected this one because it was the only room showing a balcony and river view. When we checked in, I was given a room with no view at all. Somewhat deceived, I called the desk and she had one to switch me into saying I had the choice (I didn’t have any choices at booking.) but I appreciated how easy it was to get what I thought I paid for! The hotel is full of fascinating maritime decor and unique pieces of history - we loved to admire the lobby and hotel bar. Parking our car was pretty in the ramp, and was located directly underneath our hotel tower. The only thing I’m bummed about it that given how I booked this hotel for the view, the tower bar was the largest part of that. It was a big draw. My ancestors emigrated out of this harbor so the view was important to me! The tower bar was closed for maintenance the two evenings we were there… we weren’t even allowed to look at it. Had I known, I would have chose a different hotel honestly. We certainly still enjoyed our stay; but we only stayed two days and one night so I was trying to make the most of it. I would recommend this hotel, and stay there again if we had access to all of the treasures.

It is close to a grocery store, the subway and the water, so getting around is pretty easy.

Good location to visit all the central parts of Hamburg. I pass by Hotel Hafen frequently when I'm on the way south or just visting Hamburg. When I go by motorcycle It's free parking just outside the hotel.

Hotel is located next to the harbour and has a beautiful view. Room was very small and big bed made it even smaller and hard to move in the room. There was hot weather outside so the room was very hot all the time. No air conditioning at the moment, you can open the windows but it doesn't help the situation because only that hot air will come in. Breakfast costs quite a lot extra so basically you pay only for the location. Service at the lobby was nice. Hotel's Restaurant Port was very good! We had probably the best bouillabaisse soup and caesar salad there. Service was very nice and attentive. Good selection of wines.

I didn't feel I got our monies worth. No air conditioning meant opening the window and hearing the train just yards from your window. The staff was fine.

shower area too small, bad design after shower whole bath room floor wet, slippy and dagerous for guest if he/she didn't walk properly may cause injure. .

great location if you want to stay close to the heart of St. Pauli and Landungsbrücken.
