Hotels near Alster

It was my first stay at this hotel that was just perfect that we have never stayed anywhere else whenever our travels take us Hamburg (which is every two years.) The beautifully decorated rooms have stunning views of the lake. It's just a quick walk into town and all Hamburg has on offer including those infamous Currywursts! Drinks in the salon late in the afternoon is relaxing as well as romantic. Doc Cheng's is a MUST restaurant located in the hotel. It's fusion food at its absolute best. - David

the staff was great, very helpful! - peggy

Stayed here 2 years ago and very impressed. Welcome at reception was as though I was old family friend hence I decided to stay here on this visit. Unlike my first visit the room was still awaiting upgrade but was nevertheless comfortable and very clean. Breakfast fine and you are asked almost on entry to the restaurant what hot drink you would like. Staff friendly and helpful - whether reception, bar ,restaurant or housekeeping. Maybe the secret is to talk to then like real people and not - Tim

Stayed for 3 night in this hotel. It is very handy for getting around the city as it is across the road from the central station and has a U-bahn next to the hotel which takes you into the main town in 5 mins. The hotel provides you a free pass for Hamburg's transport, so you can go anywhere! The room was clean and basic, with the maid making up the room everyday. I was dissapointed that there was not a bath in my room, but the shower was excellent so there was no trouble really. Buffet breakf - Pat

We stayed at the Marriott for three nights in December, and had booked a large business-room with breakfast included. The price for the room was quite high, so we expected the hotel to be good. Which it turned out to be! Our room was close to 40 sqm, beautifully furnished, good sitting-area, great bed, stylish and well-equipped bath-room with tub, and free minibar (except for a bottle of red wine, which could be bought for a reasonable price). The hotel is situated in a quiet area of Central Ham - Stephanie

We stayed at the Renaissance for two nights, mainly because we got a great deal for a five-star. My wife is from Hamburg, and we actually met other natives who have chosen the Renaissance as their port of call whenever they visit their home city. The hotel is very centrally located, and the rooms and facilities are modern and sleek. Our room was smallish, but quiet and pleasant. The service was outstandingly friendly and efficient and had the feel of a much smaller hotel. One of the highlights - David

We have stayed in W hotels, several Design Hotels (this is one of them) and many boutique hotels. Side is the coolest hotel we have ever stayed in. I wish there was a reason to go back to Hamburg. We stayed one night as a stopover on a drive from London to Norway. It was just supposed to be a way station but it will turn out to be the best hotel on our trip. It is definitely more for business travelers as Hamburg does not seem to be a tourist kind of town. I won't bore you with the details - Edward

It is no secret that the Atlantic needs refurbishing - and it is being announced in their Atlantic magazine to start soon. What some of the public areas, the pool and the bathrooms lack in style is definitely made up for by the fantastic service attitude and friendliness of the staff (we are in otherwise stiff Hamburg after all!). Food in the main restaurant has Michelin star quality. Breakfast is equally good. The little cinema was an idea of their long-term resident rock artist Udo Lind - Mrs

I spent 24 hours at this Sofitel property in April 2009 as I waited for a cruise ship departure from the nearby Hamburg Cruise Center. It compares very well to any large hotel chain both in appointments of the rooms and first rate service by its English speaking staff. The large bed, actually two twins blended together, with separate duvets was very comfortable. The bathroom was very large for the price of the room (US$225) with both a large shower and a bathtub. Wifi was pricey by US standards - Rosie

Just stayed at the Park Hyatt on a trip that also included the Regent in Berlin and the Kempinski Taschenbergpalais in Dresden, so this comparison is in heady company. The rooms certainly represent a modern take on luxury, so if you like Baroque, this might not be your spot. Personally, I like any style as long as it is well-executed in details, and the Park Hyatt is for sure. The bath is large and luxurious, the electronics are top-drawer Bang & Olufsen, and materials and lighting are first - James
