An amazing little family gem in the beautiful suburbs of Hamburg. Everything was great — starting with the room (we stayed in the family apartment with our child and dog), the beds with very good-quality bedding, the welcoming owners, and the small but very effective and tasty breakfast. The location itself is very convenient — nearby there are plenty of great places to eat, shop, and buy groceries. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!
Ten stars if I could! This is what I always imagined and hoped a German guest house could be. A sense of history, a definite feeling of the place you are in, but without any of the oldness that makes things drab. Here you will find a blend of what was there from the past and what they have modernized and made convenient. Bonus for actually friendly staff!! Clean, moderately-sized rooms. Tidy, crisp, white bedding. In room coffee and tea. Mini frig. Our room had a window to the street and it was delightful to watch the comings and goings without hearing much noise. Radiator heat kept the room warm and the bathroom toasty. Vinyl plank flooring means no worries about sticky carpet or fears your luggage will damage precious wood. Nice, compact closet space with luggage bench. Good hot water in shower, clean toilet that flushed easily. Breakfast is a gentle, carefully curated arrangement of cheeses, meats, breads, jams, juices, etc., coffee and tea plus! You can get eggs cooked to order. Everything you could want, most items labeled so no guessing needed. Quiet music, tea lights, floral touches. It warms your heart that this kind of caring hospitality is still available, and in Germany yet! Loved being here, would return any time.
This hotel is run by fourth generation family members who provide personalized and friendly service to make your stay as special as possible. We landed here when our first night accommodations elsewhere did not work out, and we are so glad we did! The hotel is outside of the inner city in a very nice neighborhood within walking distance of the train, restaurants and shopping opportunities, and it is a short drive by car to the airport. Andreas provided friendly and knowledgeable support with any questions we had and went out of his way to be sure our stay was everything we hoped. Nina runs the kitchen, and breakfast in the serene dining room got each day off to a wonderful start. The hotel uses locally sourced and house made breads and rolls, as well as delicious jams. Eggs are prepared freshly to your specifications, and there is a good variety of meats, cheeses, lox and other toppings for every palate. Our rooms had conveniences such as excellent showers, storage for clothing, down comforters and headboards embedded with charging stations, reading and other room lamps. Other personalized touches included energized water and delicious fruit to greet us. The hotel does not have an elevator, so if walking up stairs is a concern, it is advised to request a room on the ground floor. The combination of thoughtfully updated rooms in this family run business, the pretty location within the “Alstertal,“ and most importantly, Andreas and Nina’s genuinely friendly and caring service make this hotel one we hope we will someday be able to return to!
A really peaceful urban place, for us was this charming hotel the ideal solution. Initially, we planned to stay just for one night for a musical visit, but the exceptional experience prompted us to extend our stay by another two nights. Accompanied by our family, comprised of two adults and our 11-year-old daughter, we chose the small apartment. It was tastefully and nice furnished, leaving us wanting for nothing to feel thoroughly comfortable and at home. Another highlight was the great breakfast, an experience not to be missed. We were met with an impressive array of freshly prepared, lovingly presented dishes - from homemade jams, savory meat and cheese platters, to freshly homemade baked bread and sweet treats. Absolutely phenomenal! We are already looking forward to our next stay at this wonderful hotel and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the enchanting stay and the invaluable tips for exploring the surrounding area. It's definitely a five-star experience and we highly recommend it!
Lovely hotel in a location that is not as bad as some people are saying. I found a few very good restaurants within 15 minutes' walking distance... you just have to walk a little and not think that you are in downtown Hamburg! The surroundings are beautiful, some nice walks and very peaceful. If you have a room facing the road, I would recommend closing the windows at night, which filters out all of the traffic noise perfectly. If you have a room facing the garden you will have a lovely view and the only sound will be the birds waking you at 4.00 a.m., so again, I would recommend having the windows closed at night if you are a light sleeper. Andreas is the most helpful host, as is his wife, the breakfast is lovely with lots of choice. In fact I cannot think of a reason why you would not want to stay here. Highly recommended!
