We have spent three days in Hamburg as a couple and stayed at the A & O city hotel/hostel. We are certainly no longer book this accommodation.
To the positive aspects first. The room was decorated for a hostel acceptable and it was clean. The bathroom was relatively new and in a clean and proper condition. Also the staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. The city was easily accessible by public transport from the Berliner Tor.
Unfortunately it was already.
To the negative aspects.
The hotel gives the impression of a large youth hostel. Totally crowded with kids who passed of course a certain atmosphere of noise (we found but not as bad). The rooms are also very nice.
In the room no window was open and it was very stuffy.
Only small vents were to open, bringing but null. In summer, the climate in the room must be hell. The road noise was unbearable, because the Windows were not sufficiently insulated. The hotel is located on a day and night busy main road. The background noise was hardly an eye close up.
The breakfast room was totally crowded and the staff filling the food totally overwhelmed. The buns were very modest like rubber and the selection. It was all arranged Loveless buffet and it looked like Aldi cheap package and click the plate screwed. Us it was clear that we could expect nothing special for the price, but the buffet was really weak.
The Wi-Fi really was a joke. Total slowly and not to use.
Therefore by us only a star duchgefallen-.
