Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel is located a little outside the city on the Outer Alster but is very well connected to two bus lines. Travel time to the city center: about 10 minutes.
The reception was friendly and our room (comfort double) was modern and fully equipped. Everything was clean, only the smell (cleaning products or similar?) was a little unpleasant. The bathroom is very small but just about OK.
There is an underground car park for €19/night, which we recommend as the parking situation on the street is tight.
The breakfast may seem expensive at first glance at €22 but it is really exceptionally varied and of the highest quality. There is definitely nothing left to be desired here, which absolutely justifies the price.
The rooms facing the street are quiet with the windows closed.
It was a very good choice for our short stay of two nights and we recommend this hotel with a clear conscience.

Don't understand why me and my husband had 2 single beds put together, with 2 separate duvets. Strange. Definitely wasn't a double room. 15 euro for a very measly spread for breakfast, avoid, go to the safe down the round called Das Backhaus, so tasty there, much cheaper. The hotel was nicely decorated however, it wwas eerily quiet, so music, lights were barely on, didn't feel that inviting at all. It's also not close to the city centre, you have to take a bus for about 20 minutes. Standard hotel. Would recommend but only because the Syrian restaurant next door was amazing!

We came for a one night-stay in the middle of November. Situated a bit off the city center, the first negative experience which we had is that apart from not being a walking distance from the center, the parking happened to be almost a mission impossible. We quickly forgot that and checked in.

It was a good surprise to see that an old building (supposedly from the 70-80s) was renovated in a way which created an artificial but pleasant feeling of being in a typical Japanese house. For this the management deserves nice words. Rooms were properly prepared, cleaned and there was no reason to complain. Bathroom was clean and neat. Actually within the budget segment, this hotel scores pretty well.

On the negative side, there is no big choice of facilities and the hotel asked 15 euro per person for breakfast in a "restaurant" that did not really impress. That is why we went to the city center where we had much better brunching options for the same amount than what the hotel offered.

In conclusion, I would recommend this hotel if you need to stay somewhere in Hamburg for a night and if you have just to leave on the next day. In case that you would like to have a better city-trip experience, this is not the right place.

Perfect located small hotel with friendly service and a great breakfast buffet (you can get freshly made waffles if you like (all styles of eggs are made freshly too)).
Rooms are nicely designed (only deduction is that the bathrooms are quite smal, so better spare the waffles). Pets are welcome. My dog got his own bed and some treats.

I booked. I paid. I called and told them I would arrive 30mins after their regular closing. I arrived at the hotel and it is shut. I can't get in. I can't access the expedia app because there is no phone signal. They don't answer the phone. But they do charge me for the room. Disgraceful.

While it's undoubtedly best (only) Japanese themed hotel in Hamburg, it is little more than a marketing gimmick to stand out from the crowd.

The lobby looks like any other low budget hotel save for the japanesque decorations. The rooms are smallish and very sparsely decorated and equipped. The theme serves as a handy excuse to give an "uncluttered" view. My main gripe is with the beds which are so hard, you might as well sleep on the floor.

The room had a strange odour and not as clean as it could be. Examples of this are the side and bottom of the toilet which was filthy with brown streaks running down the sides and black mouldy grout in the shower.

At EUR 120 its cheap but given I was shattered the next day through lack of sleep it was definitely not worth it.

Had to pay a 40% upcharge because I booked directly with the hotel and not on one of those countless booking portals. When I expressed my confusion I got a lecture on flexible pricing. The whole experience was dominated by artificial friendliness and I did not feel welcome at all. (They gave me the option to cancel my reservation and book the very same room online if I wanna save money.) I think that is what you get when you deal with a family run business.
The Hotel is clean, rooms are renovated and enjoyable 'different' - Japanese style with bast mats (kind of no 'shoes allowed' in the room) and Shōji (fake translucient paper room dividers in front of the windows).
No wellness/sports/recreation facilities, lots of extra services for horrendous prices, no free parking and horrible parking situation in the area, breakfast unreasonable 15 € per person.

Stayed here several times during the course of 2 years. Nice clean rooms and great selection for breakfast buffet. Very friendly staff. Within walking distance to great restaurants and bars on either side of the hotel. Wifi speed is unpredictable and you may need to ask them to reset the system if you have difficulties accessing internet. There are only three English channels, all news channels like CNBC and BBC. Easy access to downtown and central train station via bus #6. Airport is a 15 minute cab ride away.

The hotel is nothing special. The atmosphere in The hotel is a little bit sad . Rooms are nice.
Internet is terrible, If you are here for work, no way! At the Same price you can find something nicer! I was asking help for internet, The poor receptionist didn't know how to help me and The owner passed by, with a terrible attitude and she didn't even asked what was The problem. She really don't care about her clients! I come often in Hamburg but unfortunately My favorite hotels were overbooked for a festival... Tomorrow I will find something else!

Floor: 3rd
Staff: very friendly
Hotel: modern, comfortable, clean, friendly, well presented reception
Extremely comfortable bed
Room: clean, flat screen TV, Minibar
Bathroom: en suite bathroom, clean, hair dryer
Dining room: well kept, clean

Iron & ironing board available on request

Only one thing I would have liked are more screens to cover the windows, but this is minor as overall, the hotel is very well kept and serene hotel.
The aesthetic can easily be appreciated as the basics a comfortably covered. I would most certainly return to the hotel!
