For the price and location, this place is fantastic…read more I had a tiny little room with a twin bed and it was perfectly comfortable. No bells and whistles, but clean, comfortable, and a great breakfast included in the price. The staff spoke English well and were always very helpful. Just a short walk from the lake, shopping, and government building. A 25 minute easy walk to the warehouse district. My only recommendation would be to ask for a room high up or at the end of the hall because it was kind of loud. You can hear everything happening in the hallway.

This hotel was the worst! First thing, every one was too nice! The beds were way too comfortable…read moreand the included breakfast was too damn good! I'm use to staying in Hotels that have crappy service and maybe a breakfast buffet of a few stale roles and MAYBE butter... but Hotel Alster-Hof was just too much. The Breakfast was perfect and they even let me take a tray full of food from the breakfast buffet to my hungover girlfriend in our room. They were just soooo nice while helping me in this mission. Fr. Hahn, Hr. Niko and Hr. Abassi got me a tray and demanded that they make it look nice before I could take it upstairs... I had a killer hangover though so I didn't care but you should have seen the look on my girlfriends face when she saw the spread. Impressed. They made us coffee and helped get everything prepared before I could take it to the room. I was both annoyed at how damn nice they were and also really happy that there was a staff that was so helpful and caring. Senay helped us out of the hotel and she was alright too... thanks for the water... we needed it ;) In conclusion, if you actually like a nice staff, great food and comfortable beds then 100% come here.... for me... bah humbug hamburg. ;)

We stayed here spring 2011. The rooms were large and very Victorian (ceiling crown moldings) and…read morebathroom was modern but small. Wifi and breakfast (which was very generous and delicious) were included in a 189 euro/night price for a double bed. The location was also great because it was a university area (generally safe and quiet) with very large mansions lining the main streets.
