Hotels Near VALENTINO in Hamburg

Let me put it this way: just refurbish that hotel and you will get a great place at a great location. The hotel is located directly to the train main station of Hamburg. Best place to discover this city. However, the interior is no longer state of the art. All old, very old. The elevators, the reception, the rooms, the bathroom. All old, time to break it down. Paying such a price for such a place is not acceptable any longer. I went to a new hotel on the other site of the train station the day after, payed a little more and got pampered in brand new style. The hotel itself was clean, the room and the bathroom was well cleanded, too. Beds are comfortable and rooms are quiet. The bathroom has these typical mold stains in the shower, the interior is old fashioned. Even a shower curtain is still installed. No refrigerator, no welcome water, nothing. WiFi was okay. Breakfast was really good despite of the fact that the waiter was one of these grouchy guys ... ”room number”??? So yeah - not again, try to become modern.

I had a room in the rooftop with massive roofs and a rather small roof window. I don't know whether it runs like EZ or DZ. Two would hardly have gone. All right alone. Although you have no views of course ... The facilities were modern and quite tasteful. The bathroom was quite large and absolutely OK in relation to the room. At all, under the title price performance the offer was very good. Of course, a few boxes you need to do: only a slow lift. No refrigerator, no glasses, kittens were quality bad. Many TV channels - such as RTL - can't be received funnyly. Apparently because of lack of satellite shaft ... This is more amazing for today's conditions. In the room there was one clothing shaft in the open garden. Further promised on request. But just promised;-) Well an internal communication problem. Otherwise the young team at the reception was very nice and helpful. Packaging was also possible without problems in a secure room. The location was very good, right at the railway station and therefore direct ÖV connection. There are many restaurants around the hotel. I didn't try breakfast. Therefore my three-day stay was quite nyce;-)

This is an absolutely stunning hostel. The single cabins and double cabins are small, but very comfortable. There is more than enough toileting and showering facilities for everyone, and you always have plenty of privacy. The staff are super helpful and welcoming. The menu and drinks are great. The cabins come with plenty of built-in wireless charging, usb ports, built-in Bluetooth speakers and electricity points. Large and smaller towel per person, along with a bathrobe. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, and clubs all within a few minutes walk. 5 minute walk to central Hamburg train station for the airport and all other locations. I am very impressed with this hostel and would recommend it highly.

Top notch employees. So friendly, so service - oriented, so authentic! I don't want to speak about the hardware: It's new and spotless and the quality of the breakfast for a three star chain is much better than you would expect. But extraordinary are the employees I met today. Front office is super friendly and efficient. Can't remember their names but took a pic of them. They are the right persons at the right place. They walk the extra mile. When it comes to the breakfast area I encountered their team leader Maeretha. She is one of a kind. Extremely enthusiastic with a winning personality she could excel in any field. She is very happy with her job and fulfills her role in an exceptional way. If I would be her father I would send her studying at a Swiss hotel school to become the CEO of Hilton Germany 🇩🇪! It was a pleasure to meet her.

Stayed in a single room, then switched to a 6 man dorm on the final night as it was Sunday and was expecting it to be very quiet. The single rooms are spartan and there is not even a chair, just some little stuffed stool. The issue in Hamburg is that accomdation is expensive in the city. For the same money, you could stay at a very nice 3 star hotel in many European cities! The 6 man dorm seemed quiet and ok, and then I noticed the issues. There were beer stains on the floor that acted as adhesive for my shoes. Crumbs and discarded sweet rappers in and around the bed. I had the room to myself so didn't complain. Settled for a decent night's rest. That's when someone came in at midnight (Sunday) and loudly stomped around, turning on all of the lights. They then took a shower and took their merry time settling into bed... For the price the rooms are not up to scratch. However, there aren't many ”cheaper” alternatives in Hamburg and the hostel (that charges hotel prices) know this. The check-in service was tedious and there's a queue at check in time. When I switched rooms to the 6 man dorm I said I wanted an early checkin to the that room if possible, and on the quiet side of the building (non motorway). They said no problem. Then, when I went to the room, it was of course on the noisy side. Went back and had to wait a couple hours longer before I could access the quieter room that I had asked for. The customer service is not great. They'll ask for your booking number even after you tell them your name. I did not feel like digging around for the number so I said my name and they searched for it (much to their distain probably).

It's all well and good except that there's a lack of humidity in the room and the air conditioning/ventilation somehow doesn't work. Unfortunately I couldn't fall asleep properly due to the dry air and this led to a cold. Otherwise clean room, the staff are friendly and helpful.

All in all the hotel is quite good, unfortunately some shortcomings put it to average for us. Upon check in, was asked at the reception whether we were Covid vaccinated 2 or 3 times. The certificate itself was barely looked at and no QR code scan was done. During our 3 nights stay, this was correctly done when entering Restaurant for breakfast, so why not at first contact point Reception? Upon entering our room (336), immediately noticed that it was rather cold inside. Normal if a window is open and aircon set at lowest level… Noticed as well that some empty shopping paper bags and some used brochures had most probably been forgotten during cleaning. In fact the bags were rather big and could not be overseen… Worse however were 2 used plastic cups in the bathroom, once again impossible to oversee them! The room itself was quite ok if you do not consider some stains on carpet and chair, however the very small wardrobe is kind of bad joke. ONE small storage compartment for a double room and no other storage possibilities in the room is far from standard! Breakfast on Sunday morning was rather chaotic with a completely full restaurant. Why not attribute time slots in order to avoid such a situation? This is done in some hotels and is rather helpful. On the day of our departure, somebody knocked at our room door at 08.45 am. Quite astonished that it was the cleaning lady who asked at what time we would leave... Had never experienced such acting in any other hotel also considering the check-out time of 11.00 am

OK - it's still the furniture I knew from the time when it was the Forum Hotel. And that's very long ago. But in autumn the renovation is supposed to go. The reception was very friendly. It's been really fun. I have a beautiful room with beautiful views of the city. Unfortunately, very much is built so that you may not be able to look at the elbe at all next time. Unfortunately. This time there was even a process that was close. Until the water pressure (15th floor) the shower was all right. But this is natural and there was no standard. I was surprised at breakfast. Besides the friendly staff, which quickly cleaned, the offer was very versatile. I asked: the fricadels tasted as they did (burned apple pieces) and not for convenience. But you didn't want to make yourself with foreign pearls and thought it was convenience. But it was all very good. I will put the hotel more in my focus once I'm back in Hamburg.

We stayed here for 5 days for a family visit. The hotel surprised us in a good way. Everything was clean efficient and pleasant. The location was also ideal for us (5min to the subway/tube station). Modern building, nice breakfast buffets - nice bathroom, and quiet room. Couldn't ask for more. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit allem. I think it also presented good value for money.

Great value for money close to the Zoo.. even though it was perhaps not a topnotch hotel, we thought we got good value for money with spacious and clean rooms and easy access to parking (which is not a given in Hamburg)… breakfast was ok as well :-)
