Middels Vacation Packages

Hotel Nordic is an hotel in Norderstedt, a town just outside Hamburg. My twin en-suite bedroom, which I was able to use as a single room, was fairly basic, but it was more than adequate. The room had a tv, and there was access to the hotel's WiFi. The Continental-style buffet breakfast was excellent with a selection of hot and cold food and drinks. It was reasonably priced at 10 Euros. The staff were very helpful. When I needed more liquid hand washing soap, and also help to get the TV to work, the staff attended to these matters swiftly. Parking for those with cars was adequate. There are plenty of shops, including PENNY MARKT, and some cafes nearby. Transport facilities are good, with modern local buses. The Hochbahn, a sort of Metro train service , which could take passengers to the airport or Hamburg city centre and its harbour, was about 15 minutes walk away from the hotel. A 5 day tourist card for travel on ferries, buses, Hochbahn and S-Bahn trains cost me the equivalent of about £47.50 in zones A and B (adequate for seeing a large part of Hamburg).

The hotel met an important locational need and is convenient for the Stadtpark (which is well worth visiting at any time of year but especially in the autumn) as well as a U-bahn station to get into the City Centre. The rooms are good, clean and tidy and the breakfasts are very good indeed, staff have always been friendly (I have stayed there a number of times now). Underground parking is worth paying for as there are little or no spaces on-street. The street itself is quiet.

I checked in on 4/26/26 ( Saturday ) my room was never cleaned until 5/2/26 ( Sunday) as I questioned the front desk why on 5/1 /26. I was told the “ apartment” is scheduled to be cleaned twice a week on Tuesday and Friday . First I was told 5/1 was public holiday, cleaning service was off. But I was cleaning lady was cleaning the room cross hallway from me and another leaning lady was cleaning a room in another section of the hallway. Another thing when I came back on 5/1 evening, my room light were on which I turned off when I left in the morning.

This hotel is definitely not a 4-star property—more like 2.5 stars. The staff were great and the rooms were clean, but it’s definitely better advertised than it actually is. Also, one floor seemed to be used for long-term housing to immigrants, which made it unclear what type of place it really is.
