Pleasant
decoration of room excellent bar and great cocktails
Pervasive ambiance perfume is disgusting and probably toxic , a cliché today in hotels and restaurants . I hate it. It is an odious form of pollution that nobody asks for, and I hope that this is a fashion that will pass soon. In the future when I reserve a hotel I will make sure that there is NO perfume. Also, the techno music was so loud in the restaurant that I couldn’t taste the meal. This is another cliché that must appeal to young clients that know nothing about food. It’s a shame, as the menu was well prepared and the service staff was very professional.

Major safety issue with an intruder to my room
Comfortable bed and good waterfall shower
One of the hotel staff used a master key to enter my room at midnight while I was sleeping. While I think it was an error and he meant to access a different door, this raises a serious safety concern. Physical safety latches need to be installed in all bedrooms as matter of priority so that the electronic door key mechanism cannot be overridden by a master key or anyone who might use RFID amplification technology to open the door. In addition, processes need to be reviewed in terms of staff understanding what doors access bedrooms vs cupboards or other spaces. When I raised the issue with reception staff the next morning, after barely sleeping the rest of the night, there was initially very little concern. As a solo female traveller, I will not stay at this hotel again as I do not feel safe there.

Comfortable stay with best breakfast and staff 💫
It looks very modern and spacious, is in a great location and close to public transport
Nothing. It was just great! 10/10

Excellent new and modern rooms but hotel is not for families
Very big newly decorated room. The best I have seen in years. Great sushi bar though reservation needed if you do not wish to sit at the bar, which was not an issue for us. We got umbrellas when it rained. Metro is five minute walk, three stops to down-town
Breakfast was too expensive so we opted out. Neighborhood is a bit dodgy (strip bars in a street next by), which explains the dark lights in hotel, so it is not recommendable for families with kids

Trendy, comfortable and dog friendly!
A trendy and fun hotel with lots of unexpected custom touches. Furniture is delightful. Bed super comfortable. We travelled with our dog and they brought a "doggie kit" with big leather dog bed, dishes and some treats. There are treats for the grownups too . .. including free slippers and gummy bears at reception. A very nice room, good restaurant and bar downstairs. Wonderful breakfast. Nice staff.

That I forgot my golden necklace and called the next day giving photos and all the infor related to my loss that I left inside the left pocket of a wardrobe. The person said they will ask the manager of the cleaning department but I did not hear anything back from them.

Enjoyed my stay in a affordable luxurious environment that’s candy for the eyes!
Beautiful hotel with accommodating staff. The lobby and the restaurant and bar area is quite something! It’s like an art and sculpture experience as well. Had a clean, good since room with a very comfortable bed! Would definitely come back!

This is an expensive hotel, but meets expectations especially with the attractive rooms and the stunning bar and restaurant area. We especially liked the bartender who was incredibly friendly and explained some of his signature drinks to us.
There are sometimes lines in a crowded area for check in and check out.

You will not forget your stay at eastHotel.
This was our second stay at eastHotel. That we returned to this hotel should say all that needs to be said. It truly is a remarkable location which I can not recommend enough. The rooms are laid out and furnished to perfection. The location is ideal, within easy walking distance of anything you might want to see in St. Pauli, and within reasonable walking distance of districts such as Altstadt, St. George, Hafencity etc. The subway link is but a stone's throw away if you desire to go further afield.

A perfect haven of comfort and gigantic-bath-tub-ness in the heart of the beautiful St. Pauli.
Firstly, THE BATH. east Hotel's "Splash" rooms have the most amazing bathtub EVER. The room is worth every cent based on the bathtub alone - so if you are of an aquatic bent, this is definitely the option for you. All other facilities, including a lovely large bed, are on point as well. Breakfast-wise, the hotel's offerings were a little on the pricey side for my personal tastes - but that is "each to their own." There are many wonderful cafes and bakeries nearby that you can visit if you are of a similar mindset. The location was perfect for me. A five minute walk from the Reeperbahn, and more importantly, as an avid St. Pauli fan, a five minute walk from the Millerntor. A question here on Booking.com asks me if the area around the property is safe? Yes. It's safe. Like any city, simply don't get yourself mixed up in anything you should not and you will be fine.
Honestly, I can find no fault in east Hotel whatsoever.

A good hotel but it would be amazing if the staff was nicer (mainly the women)

the staff was very stuck up the lights in the room were terribly designed

Very stylish. But looks trumps some of the service.
Very stylish. Nice setting. The room is different. The room is big. Location is quite good.
No coffee in bedroom. Breakfast way too expensive (tip: delicious breakfast around the corner, at MAY). Only one big towel for two. Disco plays music at night

Short but sweet overnight
VERY nice Hotel, with beautiful Art Deco touches! Everything in the room was high-tech and neat, Walk-in Shower was a beautiful and very nice touch.
Honestly the only negative aspect was that the reception did not have an adapter.

4 Stars from me
It was a great venue and the placement was impeccable. The overall design of the hotel was great and luxerious. There had been put a lot of planning into the design, that was primarily organic in nature.
However, I have some minor complaints. The bathtubs faucet I had in my room was kinda broken and calcified. So it spewed hot water everywhere. Also they had a lot of great items at the breakfast table, but the fruit was stale and bruised. Especially the watermelon. Like it had been frozen a little in the fridge. Also breakfast wasn't included in the price of the room, which was kinda meh considering the price of 225 € a night.

shower is inside the room , in this case water is splashing to the ground which make it slippery

the rooms have an outdated look&feel, it was also pretty noisy at night (keep in mind when traveling with smaller children)

before there was a quick breakfast opportunity, in stead of the full breakfast buffet. this was for us enough to start the day, 35 euro per person for breakfast is quiet expensive.

Second time staying here and would definitely come back anytime we're in hamburg. The Splash room is amazing with immaculate decor and a large bathtub that can fit 2 or 3. A perfect getaway hotel for couples.
