A pleasant and calm hotel at the edge of hopping St. Georg with its dining options and just a few steps to green walls along the Alster. Downtown ist a 25 min walk or short bus ride.

This is an excellent hotel. The location is brilliant with only a 7 minute walk to the nearest U-Bahn - U3 line which takes you to most places in the city centre. The rooms were very very clean as was the hotel. The breakfast was great with a huge selection of food and drink. The bar area is lovely too. All the staff at the hotel are so helpful. We would definitely stay at this hotel again. Absolutely excellent.

Hotel with a wrong perception projected in expedia
Nice hotel mainly for business people. But the lo ation shown in the website was deceiving. We oaid extra for Altser Lake view but you can only view part of the Lake at a distance. City center is at a distance and not easy for regular walking.I was surprised to find that in the breakfast room there is a long que as they look for names but not the room number of the guest. Breakfast choice is also very limited. This is not a typical Crown Plaza we stau around the world.

Staff all friendly, welcoming and helpful. Room and hotel in general was very clean.
Short (20min) walk to Hauptbahnhof through St George or 30 mins along the Alster Lake and Binnenalster towards Rathaus.

A short walk away from a main street with plenty of dining options, grocery store, drug store, and other businesses. Nestled on the edge of a quiet residence area, and about a 20 minute tax ride form the airport. Hotel staff speak excellent English.

Nice property. Just a short distance from town center. Good restaurant (Sagner's) a block away. Plus one is the hotel with friendly staff. Didn't try the hotel's food. Friendly and attentive staff. Clean room with eager cleaning staff. I always tip the cleaning staff something. They're crucial. Small and friendly and english speaker friendly corner store down the block for essentials. Would absolutely recommend and stay again if I return. Only deficiency i found was no ATM. Coming from the US where they're everywhere, they're harder to find in Germany/ Hamburg. Not a deal breaker.
