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?

Very good hotel in great location, quiet and comfortable but quite expensive

Good breakfast , great location , quiet and comfortable

I thought nearly 400 euros a night a bit on the pricey side for the facilities offered . But great location and friendly staff.

Fabulous

- The location was excellent; I walked almost everywhere. - I really liked the view from the window, and the staff was incredibly helpful. - The interiors are beautifully designed and very stylish. - The lighting scenarios added a cozy atmosphere. - The bed and linens were super comfortable. - The toiletries in the bathroom were delightful.

- The refrigerator was quite noisy, which I only realized when I was trying to fall asleep. It took me a while to figure out how to turn it off. - For a hotel of this level, it would be nice to have slippers and a bathrobe provided in the room by default. - It wasn't clear that the water in the large glass bottle was a complimentary item. Perhaps a paper tag or holder would be helpful. - It was a bit tricky to figure out how to use the phone (even though it's a beautiful design). A small sticker at the bottom with the number to dial reception could be a nice touch.

Nice boutique hotel in the warehouse area.

It was a quiet area in the middle of the warehouse district. Nice walk to town hall area or the piers but may be too far for someone with mobility problems.

Lovely place, almost perfcet

Great location, beautiful interior and friendly staff who helped us late a night move to another room incl our luggage while we were out for dinner.

Breakfast was overpriced at €26 per person per night so we didn't get that (you can get coffee and scrambled eggs with sourdough bread for €15 at a cafe 300 m away). The rooms without a view has barely any daylight. (Windows towards the inner yard)

Great stay in lovely Hamburg

The bed size was awesome, a real queen size and not those small twin bed that we see too often in Europe. The location is perfect, walking distance to anything that there is to see and 10 minutes walk to subway station. Helpful and friendly staff.

Not much. Maybe the fact that the breakfast seemed a bit expensive. There should be a la carte option for those that don't eat that much, maybe there was... And there should be some food offer at night to really take advantage of the nice hotel bar.

Great staff, great room but no parking on site

Room was great, location to the train museum great, the river view was very nice, and we were able to walk to both the train museum and the downtown dinner area. The front desk reception was very good when we checked in too. The hotel was well worth the price and was very comfortable.

While booking this hotel the site said there was parking. the parking is not at the hotel but a few blocks away and not easy to get to by driving from the front door of the hotel. Although a bit of a challenge, the garage was closer by walking than driving and was mostly an inconvenience to me. However, the comments above in "what did you like" did outweigh this issue a bit. Had to bring luggage up a few steps to get to the front door and then a staircase to the front desk, not good when tired or a lot of luggage. (elevator was available but still up steps from the curbside) Parking out front to offload in a car nearly impossible. We had to park illegally to offload and when leaving the next day (the hotel staff were great and the parking was explained to me by phone just prior to our arrival, but at a time too late to make changes) Also the parking is certainly not the fault of the staff. Do not bring a car to this place if you can avoid it. The immediate surrounding area from the front door of the hotel offers nothing to look at, visit or even relax in. Walking at night to and from the museum was easy, and close, but a little sketch. Nothing happened at all, but uneasy feeling walking the narrow back streets to the hotel entrance at night.

Beautiful hotel - the staff are amazing

Immaculate, inviting rooms with a luxe feel. We had a sick child on the third day and the staff went out of their way to help us.

No food available. There is a beautiful underused dining room only open for breakfast, and a boring bar for night time. Some ambient music in this area, and the lobby would be nice too.
