The George Hamburg

This is a really terrific hotel to tuck into in a nice neighborhood in Hamburg. 9 days on my own and I needed a home away from home. The rooms are comfortable, spotless and well laid out. A little balcony is a nice touch too. Lovely decor and great bedding. Room service- the food was delicious and the delivery was beyond fast. Amazing Italian Restaurant downstairs. Roof deck and a sauna too. So lots of amenities. The gorgeous Alster Lake is just down the block- with cafes to sit and watch the sailboats zip by. A sweet shopping area a few blocks away with lots of little bakeries and eateries. There was a mix up with my booking- and it was truly a misunderstanding. The hotel did not have to amend my bill- but they chose to do so and were incredibly gracious about it. I have stayed at the George in Vancouver and this hotel group is extremely professional and exceptional.

The rooms are comfortable. Bathroom small but well done. Room service is amazingly quick and the food quite good. The front desk staff as mentioned in other reviews, pay zero attention to your comings and goings. No hellos. No goodbyes. They don't even look at you. The gorgeous lake is just down the block and there is a nice area for some shopping and casual dining a few blocks away. Other than the disinterested front desk team, it's a perfectly lovely place to stay.

A really nice hotel with a very good restaurant. Service is exellent. One thing to mention is that a towel dryer at full power in the bathroom is not good for the environment. Will recommend this hotel and will definitly come back

A lovely comfortable hotel with excellent, friendly staff.

Let me start with the most positive thing: the breakfast! To be honest, I ate worse for more money in even five star rated hotels. Despite of the fact that you get a mix of buffet and a la minute dishes, here you really cannot miss anything. A broad choice of various dishes, fruits, sausages, hot dishes, juices, teas, bread – just everything you expect is presented to you till 1pm in the afternoon. Wow! Everything got refilled immediately, there was nothing empty whatever time we showed up. Which leads me to the breakfast service: most friendly and attentive guys I ever met. There is nothing we could complain about. You got immediately seated and asked for your choices, you got picked up your dirty plates immediately and as mentioned before, they refilled everything immediately. An outstanding service, extra class! Continuing with the rooms, all very clean and cozy. We went for the S-Type rooms, which are small but still okay. All looks new, at least refurbished and really nice. The beds are comfortable, the room is nicely done. The bathroom is spacious and looks brand-new. The room-service is really quick and professional, highly appreciated. In general, the style of this hotel is absolutely modern and nicely done. The WiFi works perfectly. We were unsure about the AirCon. Not needed these days, but to cool down we were unable to activate it so we opened the window. Maybe it is disabled at winter time. The only major issue we experienced: the doors are not sound-proof and the wall between two S-Type rooms neither is kept sound-proof (only one side exists of a solid wall. We got the impression there is sound-leading connection between two rooms in this wall. I am pretty sure where the TVs are installed they drilled the connections deep enough to reach the back of the other side which leads to the sound-connecting from that TV of the other room for example. We were listening to the neighbors TV (room 424 was ours). However, since we always sleep with ear-plugs it was not such a big issue, but as mentioned before, the door is neither sound-proof. There is room for improvement. In general we would go again since the area where the hotel is located is nice and close to the train station and Alster. We can recommend this place for sure.
