Budget hotel that is a 5min walk from the Hamburg HBF. It's quiet and I was able to check-in before 3pm. The only prob was the tv channels were only available for less than 15min each day. It's affordable. I'd consider staying here again. Thank you!

Great, if you arrive by bus or train.

Next to bus terminal, line 2 in 10 mins to Speicherstadt and main station, this hotel has perfect location if you come without car. Spacious, clean, well maintained, but not brand new room, quite silent to the court side. Tasty continental breakfast buffet and friendly staff. Good for short stay to visit Hamburg's attractions.

This hotel is in a great location near Hamburg ZOB and Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. The only thing I'd say I didn't like was that you could hear the U-bahn trains from some of the floors. So if you want to avoid the worst of that maybe see if you can get a room on a higher floor. Otherwise I I thought it was fine servicable hotel.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Hamburg train station and the pretty St Georg area. The hotel staff are friendly. Our room and bathroom was spacious and clean. The hotel provided free lugguage storage service, which was wonderful! We also had a very enjoyable breakfast. We highly recommend 'Hotel Alte Wache'.

Very Functional

This is a functional hotel, nothing fancy. Bedroom was a good size with mini fridge. Generally it was clean but I did find a previous guests false fingernail by the window. It's not too far from the main railway station, but my wife was put off a bit by some of the characters hanging around the street between the station and the hotel, particularly at night. Over all it was good value, the breakfast was a cold buffet but was quite tasty. I'd stay there again.

The location was great as it's near the central train station.Lots of dining options and places to go to in the area. Very hustle and bustle area on the streets nearby with lots of people around. The lift has no key card and i worry about security as it's so central and in the city and anybody could just come up to the floors.

Disliked: Amenities
Basic but fine - the room was basic but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Large shower, clean bathroom. There are no amenities in the room except for a TV. My room was equipped with large windows. The breakfast was also basic but it did the job. The main advantage of the hotel is you can enjoy a good night’s sleep and a hot shower and you are three minutes’ walk from Hamburg’s Hauptbahnhof (Main Station), all this for a good price. The staff was helpful, I appreciated the storing of the luggage after the checkout and kindly offered me an umbrella so I could enjoy the city on a rainy day.

Leon who checked me in was very friendly and good at his job. Other reception staff could learn from Leon and improve their performance. My room although basic was clean and comfortable. It also had a fridge and a safe which is great. The buffet breakfast was simple but adequate. Wi-Fi wasn't great. I didn't appreciate my room being entered on the morning of departure at 10.15, they are supposed to know what rooms are checkouts and don't require service.

I have stayed in this hotel before, and it has always been ok. Nothing fancy, but if you are looking for a bed with clean sheets, a clean toilet and shower, and a good breakfast in a handy location, this will do it. However, I wont go to this place again anytime soon as this time I woke up with the bed full of BEDBUGS. I informed the reception right away and they apologized and asked me to contact the "boss" by email. I did that but never got an answer. I understand that bedbugs are a very common problem also in better hotels, but if this is the way this hotel handles the issue, by not even answering their client, I would not trust that they will sort the issue. Therefore, I would stay away from this hotel!
