Expert reviews
“Despite its bland, modern office block exterior, this trendy HafenCity hotel is full of fun, from guest rooms that resemble designer ship cabins to a chill-out room with retro couches and a record player for guests to use.”

A very cool base to explore the sights of Hamburg

I recommend the hotel!
Friendly personnel, amazing breakfast, comfortable bed, wonderful sight from the room window to the harbour.
Light concept, it was too dark as well as the mirror in the bathroom was too far away so I could not see properly while making up.

Its stylish decoration impressed me on my first arrival. The location is great. Uberseetier Station (U4 line) is just a few minutes' walk. Tourist attractions like Elbharmonie, Maritime Museum and warehouse blocks are close by. Neighboring large-scale property development is seen near completion stage. It will become more lively and prosperous.

Great location in Hamburg. Well worth a stay.
Great location close to the Hafencity dock area. Plenty to see and do. Nice restaurants close by and many of the city's attractions within easy walking distance. 15 minutes to the centre of town. Unusually decorated hotel room - quite quirky and nautical. Didn't have the breakfast or try the restaurant. Plenty of options just around the corner.
Room looked out over 3-4 levels of apartments so not much to see and we felt like we were spying on everyone.

Very good
Comfortable bed, nice shower, fun decor. Free mini bar items.
Lack of proper shelving or luggage rack on which to set 2 suitcases. Only one chair - would have been nice to have 2 chairs. Big construction project across the street.

Modern friendly hotel in a vibrant part of the city.
It was a lovely surprise to find we had been upgraded to a huge room with a free minibar! Breakfast was good, including vegan options and English breakfast tea!
Finding the right entrance to the hotel was not easy, and the bar was in a different building. This was not ideal if you arrive late in the rain!

My favorite european network- this time i discovered Hamburg. A bit confusing when two hotels of the same name (but different room-capacity and format, although concept stays recognizable in whatever 25H) are 200m from each other, but still both are peals of Hafencity: Hafencity has more rooms and facilities within, while the other one has Neni-restaurant, bar that works till 2am (not an easy thing to find) and is a but more “boutique”).

Gorgeous Decor
Loved the decor. Really nice stay. Very comfortable
My only complaint, the design means there is an overhang of the wall above the bed which I can’t imagine how many people must bang their head on (I did - twice)
22 May 2024
Apart from the ‘if onlys’ I really enjoyed my stay here and the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.
Quirky and interesting hotel with a nautical theme and friendly staff.
Some ‘if onlys’ would’ve made it even more comfortable- If only the wifi worked for me on the 6th floor. If only there was a functional luggage rack. If only the music on the 1st floor wasn’t so loud. If only the chair was not a hard metal one. But I still loved the hotel.

The location was fairly Central and easy accessible to many beautiful sites.
The Style was fun and inviting.The Hotel was a good vibe.
Construction unfortunately direct across the street . Sleeping with an open window was not an option. A night cap with kool Music was missing to end the day. The Restaurant was ok.

The area was nice but a little quiet

A trip I enjoy.
location is perfect, style is cosyThe location of the hotel is amazing, very easy to access from the airport and train station. It is in a much more stylish and safe place than other neighborhoods of the city. The design of the hotel, the size and cleanliness of the rooms are flawless. The staff is friendly.
The hotel's entertainment facilities are less than other 25hours locations, but the record room is a great idea. I wish a little more attention was paid to the records

Beautiful designed hotel in the harbour district
Beautiful, well designed hotel in the nice harbour district. Good place to start your journey in Hamburg. Very nice restaurants in the direct neighbourhood. Parking just under the hotel.
There are two locations of 25h hotels in the same street, so be aware.
