ibis budget Hamburg City

W hotelu spotkała nas bardzo miła obsługa. Śniadania jak za taką cenę pobytu były dobre. Niestety w pokoju było brudno - brudne okno, brudne ściany, wypalona dziura od papierosa w prześcieradle.

I was not expecting much but I did expect more than a room that resembles a prison cell. Arriving after 10.30 pm I had to check in at the regular ibis. The moment I explained I was booked into the budget side the politeness went down several notches. ‚I should have said. So straight away‘ when the chap on reception could not find my booking. Not that there is a decent sized sign telling customer where how to check in and where they need to go if arriving later. There is a notice in the lift ( two lifts neither working properly) advises that breakfast is available mid to book a slot at the desk… but when you stay in the cheap budget side the main reception desk cannot or does not want to take bookings for the budget side of the hotel. The guy got quite rude about it and raised his voice. Really cannot recommend this place!!! And at €72 it is. It exactly that cheap!!!!

jestem zadowolona z pobytu, niestety głośno z powodu prac budowlanych obok hotelu, gdyby nie to, to dałabym 9

Very convenient location. Good parking. All you need for a stay. Extremely helpful and friendly professional team. Rich breakfast. Good soundproofing in the rooms, could not hear the trains from the nearby station.

Normally I am all for no frills in a hotel. But not to the point of not providing a kettle for coffee in the room. The building is surrounded by railway lines, busy main roads and building sites (start 0.700) I chose the place for it’s convenient location near the station but the difficult to cross dual carriageway roads make those few minutes far from pleasant. I saw no restaurants, bars, shops, takeaway food anywhere closer than the station. If you intend to eat and drink in your room make sure you come supplied because strangely Hamburg has none of the usual major city corner shops, mini-markets, supermarket locals. Not just as in only a few - in 3 days of walking around the city I found not one. I would certainly not recommend this place for anything other than as a handy overnight to change trains - and not particularly cheap at that. As a base for enjoying the city it’s a false economy.
