Conveniently located in Hamburg. It's close to many restaurants, shops, and even a museum (Kuntshalle). It's located in a quieter area but close enough to everywhere else that it doesn't feel isolated. The staff was friendly and responsive to our needs. Marzia, in particular, was very helpful when we checked in. My biggest complaint was the loud bathroom noises coming from the pipes intermittently throughout the night. Otherwise, I recommend this place to someone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

The lift didn't work for most of our stay. The access to the hotel is either by a manual revolving door, or another door that they lock from early. Getting in and out with a pram was difficult and we have no accessiblity issues. The staff seemed oblivious to this. The toilet shower is in too close proximity to the sleeping area, if you stay with family if you need the toilet at night they will be woken up (i get this is a cultural thing also but I've stayed in many hotels and this is unusual). The bedsheets stained. The restaurant was closed for most of our stay. They charged 25 Euro's for a canteen breakfast in an office like space (presumably because their restuarant was closed). Location is great but honestly I will never visit another Barcelo anywhere, how they think treating guests like this is acceptable is beyond me. I travelled with my partner and our toddler.

A great location close to the city center, several Christmas markets, and the main train station. The bar and restaurant staff were particularly friendly. The big minus was the cost. The hotel stay was VERY expensive for what was essentially just an average room (although it was peak Christmas market season). The room also only enough towels for one traveler, when we clearly indicated we had three. So while our stay checked all of the Orbitz rating subcategories, we can't rate higher than 4 stars overall due to these two rather big drawbacks. The breakfast was also very expensive, but ultimately worth it.

I booked a package including breakfast but was told it was not confirmed by Expedia, although Mannan could see the booking??, so we were refused breakfast. We had to go out each morning for breakfast😡. The hotel was nice, superior room is big, poor tv channels, only 1 news channel in English. Nice shower, comfy bed and bedding. Staff quite poor, didn't acknowledge clients just put head down and tried to look busy at the computer. Close to train station and Alster lake good place for a morning run.

Good place to stay. Would recommend it.
It was all very good. The only issue was I could not figure out how to set the air conditioner. There was an instruction card in the room showing how to turn the AC off but not how to turn off on. Couldn't figure it out. It was not too warm so didn't bother requesting service to the room. With the window open prior to going to bed (then closed for sleeping) it turned out okay since the room as large and not stuffy feeling. Our room was next to the elevators which I initially was not happy about but we did not hear anything from the hallway or elevators which I was very happy about.

Great welcome from staff at reception:when we discovered we had left a passport in our taxi they went to great lengths to track it down. Greatly appreciated. Wash hand basin in our room was blocked. We were moved, upgraded and given a complimentary drinks voucher as an apology. Thank you to Mendez for that. Fantastic location in terms of walking distance to main station, lake, and lots of local attractions, galleries, museums. Great breakfast selection. Bar staff were a bit hit and Miss in terms of remembering an order and the bar decor is cool rather than comfy. That said, we would not hesitate to return/ met our needs perfectly.

Brilliant!
We visited in January for a long weekend, this hotel was a perfect base. It's a 5 minute walk to the central station, 5 minute walk to the Rathaus and closer to some other U stations. Central station also has a direct link to the airport (25 minutes). The room was felt very generous, large, comfortable bed and powerful shower all in excellent condition. We had an issue with air conditioning but the staff sorted it out very promptly. You won't regret picking this hotel for long or short stay in Hamburg.
