Great value and good location
There are a ton of stairs so don’t bring heavy luggage. Great location next to 150 bus stop or 10 minute walk to 62 ferry. Old hotel so creaky and not very quiet but very beautiful and charming. I didn’t have hot water in sink or shower. The tea kettle upon arrival was such a treat. Slept great, could have used another pillow or one that wasn’t deflated and flat.

The reception staff was lovely but the room was not ready at 9pm.. The room i got was in terrible condition. The sockets were uncovered, as was the smoke detector in the ceiling, im not even sure it worked.
It was extremely noisy early in the morning, with doors slamming constantly from 6am. At 6:30am housekeeping tried to enter my room to clean... It was very cheap but i did not get adequate rest, definitely won't stay again.

Very little of the facilities were functioning; no restaurant & no breakfast.
The walls are quite thin and the neighbouring families were noisy, up until about 1am.
The room was hot due to the hot weather, but no one on reception to ask for a fan.
I wouldn’t recommend it as it was more like a hostel and didn’t set me up well for my meetings in Hamburg.
I would

Avoid if you can, the room was not booked was not given, we were given a different room, with run down interior in a dark hall. When I talked to front desk staff he talked nice but said he had no other room. He said he will try to switch us the day after but there was zero attempt to do so or even communicate about. As a frequent traveller I won't go back or suggest do to my negative experience. There is low will even to maintain the pace up to standards

Rummen var sunkiga och lyhörda. När någon satte på en vattenkran så hördes det väldigt tydligt. Flottfläckar på vägen vid huvudgaveln på sängen mm.
Vi bokade två rum, ett för mig och min fru och ett till sonen med flickvännen. Anledningen var en kort övernattning nära Autobahn på väg hem från Alperna.
Sonen och flickvännen som ännu inte har så mycket livserfarenhet tyckte det var väldigt jobbigt att "bo" där. Jag och min fru återupplevde gamla minnen från när vi backpackade i Sydostasien och ibland valde riktiga lågbudgetalternativ...
Priset var dock bra men jag hade gladeligen lagt till 50% för ett bättre boende...
