What guests liked

All you need to know

Without a doubt, Sir Nikolai stands as a posh boutique hotel that flawlessly integrates a blend of eclectic and historically nuanced décor, fitting seamlessly into its noble theme.

However, the luxury it offers is far from exclusive or elitist. The aristocratic aura is all in jest, and admission to this esteemed group relies not on lineage or riches, but solely on one’s refined taste in accommodation.

Sir Nikolai houses 94 rooms varying from the compact yet opulent Boutique rooms equipped with Marshall sound systems and Dead Clean bathroom amenities, to progressively more expansive Supremes and Suites, peaking at the over 600 square foot Residence.

Consistency in smart design is evident across all spaces, comfort is prioritized, and even the minutest aspects are thoughtfully balanced, reflecting the rigorous attention to detail that characterizes premier hotels.

Its on-site Japanese-Peruvian bistro, Izakaya Asian Kitchen & Bar may seem out of place in Hamburg’s hotel landscape, but it only adds to the charm. After all, who appreciates predictability?

Good for few days

Interior, location (walking distance to old town, Speicherstadt and Landungsbrücken 15 min. each), though very quite, great sleeping quality

Minibar not working (frequent problem), breakfast good but little choice, washbasin directly in the room

I highly recommend!

The hotel is beautiful, linens and bed very comfy. The rooms are spacious, bright and clean and the bathrooms are large with plenty of vanity room, with nice rain shower! We really love this hotel! Booked it twice already with my husband and our friends and we will be back for sure! Wouldn’t stay anywhere else when in Hamburg! Location is terrific!

I can’t say one negative word about this hotel. It’s perfect.

Very pleasant stay near warehouse district.

Quirky, clean, good air-con (a very hot weekend @ 32). Lovely staff, decent breakfast.

Some of the decor. Rooms small. ‘Cabinet’ shower & loo - bit hot, not good for claustrophobics!

fabulous stay!

There was a delicious breakfast, all staff were very friendly and the hotel is very well located to see the sights and for public transport

There were a couple of issues with the room, the basin plug did not fit so the water kept draining out and also a standard light socket did not fit. However, the hotel was excellent and, as they could not fix it immediately, they gave us some complimentary drinks

Lovely boutique hotel

Beautiful quality design, comfy bed, clean, great location, staff are polite, would recommend!!

Nothing major. Would be nice if spa /wellness facilities were open. Bathrobes in denim not so comfy. Perhaps, when time comes to replace those, the hotel could consider the classics of a fluffy softer ones. Rooms are small! I think their names / grading are quite misleading vs their actual size and as above bathrooms take way too much space

Fabulous

Very comfortable and clean, staff was very helpful and responsive.

The shower leaked a bit into the room, we let them know and it didn't diminish our experience.
