Great value and good location

There are a ton of stairs so don’t bring heavy luggage. Great location next to 150 bus stop or 10 minute walk to 62 ferry. Old hotel so creaky and not very quiet but very beautiful and charming. I didn’t have hot water in sink or shower. The tea kettle upon arrival was such a treat. Slept great, could have used another pillow or one that wasn’t deflated and flat.

Very little of the facilities were functioning; no restaurant & no breakfast. The walls are quite thin and the neighbouring families were noisy, up until about 1am. The room was hot due to the hot weather, but no one on reception to ask for a fan. I wouldn’t recommend it as it was more like a hostel and didn’t set me up well for my meetings in Hamburg. I would

The reception staff was lovely but the room was not ready at 9pm.. The room i got was in terrible condition. The sockets were uncovered, as was the smoke detector in the ceiling, im not even sure it worked. It was extremely noisy early in the morning, with doors slamming constantly from 6am. At 6:30am housekeeping tried to enter my room to clean... It was very cheap but i did not get adequate rest, definitely won't stay again.

Avoid if you can, the room was not booked was not given, we were given a different room, with run down interior in a dark hall. When I talked to front desk staff he talked nice but said he had no other room. He said he will try to switch us the day after but there was zero attempt to do so or even communicate about. As a frequent traveller I won't go back or suggest do to my negative experience. There is low will even to maintain the pace up to standards

Man kann die Übernachtung dort überleben, aber ein Genuss war es nicht. Zimmer 14 im Keller, überall grelles Neonlicht verbaut. Matratze durchgelegen, überall totgeklatschte Insekten an den Wänden. Keinerlei Service vor Ort und auch auf E-Mails wurde nicht reagiert. Keine Klimaanlage, kein Ventilator trotz Hitzewelle.

Manchmal hat ein Hotel Charme, manchmal Geschichte – und manchmal ist es einfach nur in die Jahre gekommen. Hier fiel es uns schwer zu unterscheiden, ob wir Gebrauchsspuren oder mangelnde Sauberkeit vor uns hatten. Schon beim Betreten des Zimmers fiel ein unangenehmer Geruch auf. Die Möbel wirkten verschmutzt und insgesamt machte das Zimmer keinen gepflegten Eindruck. Etwa alle 30 Minuten war zudem ein Brummen zu hören, das ein wenig an den Motor einer Hafenfähre erinnerte. Tagsüber kein Problem – beim Einschlafen eher schon. Eine Kommode hatte eine komplett ausgerissene Schubladenfront, die lose darin lag, eine zweite war ebenfalls beschädigt. Im Bad wirkten die Fliesen noch ordentlich, doch die stark verschmutzten Fugen und Metallschienen leider nicht. Der Duschkopf war mit Panzerband am Schlauch befestigt, wodurch das Wasser herausspritzte. Freihändig duschen war dadurch nicht möglich. Der stark verkalkte Wasserhahn kannte praktisch nur zwei Einstellungen: aus oder Überraschungsdusche. Unser Tipp: Den Hebel vorsichtig von unten antippen – so ließ sich das Wasser tatsächlich besser dosieren. Bei den Betten hatten wir gemischte Erfahrungen. Eines der Doppelbetten war so durchgelegen, dass die Federn deutlich zu spüren waren – vielleicht leicht übertrieben, aber man fühlte sich kurz wie auf der Trainingsmatte eines Fakirs. Den einen Stern gibt es ausschließlich für den günstigen Preis – der sich nach diesem Aufenthalt leider auch erklärt.
