25hours Hotel Hamburg Number One

Short stay but the hotel was clean and staff very helpful. My only gripe was the lack of iron in the room but seems to be fairly normal for the area. I’m sure if if requested one it would have been provided but I arrived late at 2300 and left early at 0700 the next morning. Travelling for business so looking smart is a requirement.

This is was second stay in this hotel, but the first together with my wife, and it did not disappoint. The place was being refurbished which meant that the main entrance was out of order, as was restaurant, but they did not let this be any real inconvenience as they used a side door and access to their sister hotel just a tiny hop along the same complex. The room was spotless, the tv, lights and everything worked as you would expect and the bed was very comfortable. My own slight niggle was that the show cubicle is a bit smaller than I would have liked, which combined with the location of the extractor fan meant that the shower curtain was too close to me and occasionally got stuck to me. Overall I really like this hotel, the small discomforts do not detract from the overall enjoyment of the place, the staff are all super friendly and seem to speak several languages fluently ( great for a non Germanic speaker like me ) and I would not hesitate to book the next time I return to Hamburg.

Hotel itself is okay however be aware that the majority of rooms don’t have air conditioning, even the XL ones. I stayed and it was 35degrees and impossible to sleep, ended up having to downgrade to get AC and the hotel staff were in no way apologetic nor offered any sort of compensation despite the ‘forced’ downgrade. Some rooms also have a very strange layout with a separate toilet by the entrance, makes no sense at all!
