The Real Venice of the North
With more canals than Amsterdam and Venice combined and over 2,300 bridges, Hamburg is an independent city-state with Europe’s second-busiest port and one of Germany's most popular soccer teams, Hamburg SV.
No trip to Hamburg is complete without a visit to the city’s old warehouse district, Speicherstadt, and the popular harbor promenade, the Landungsbrücken. The best and most popular way to explore the city is by boat or ferry so you can truly admire the stunning architecture and the city’s waterways.
The impressive City Hall and the popular St. Michaelis church will awe any visitor, and music fans should look for the Indra and the Star Club, where the Beatles played between 1960 and 1962. For a different look at Hamburg, moonlit strolls on the Reeperbahn will bring visitors through the largest red light district in Europe. Hamburg is famous for its local dishes, Birnen, Bohnen and Speck, Aalsuppe and open-faced sandwiches with cold-smoked or pickled fish. The laid-back cafés of Schanze neighborhood and barbecues on a beach along the Elbe River are great ways to relax after a day of sightseeing.
The city center is accessible from Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel Airport and Hamburg-Lübeck Airport using either train or bus services. Whether you’re looking for a luxury hotel, traditional apartment or youth hostel, Booking.com has everything you need for a vacation in Hamburg.

Unfortunately we arrived on a gloomy and rainy day.
Unfortunately we arrived on a gloomy and rainy day. Not too many people were out on the streets, however we did take a 2 hour canal cruise that seemed very popular with the locals. Hamburg does not seem to be a tourist friendly city.

Miniatuur wunderkind is great.
Miniatuur wunderkind is great. Walking around the area is also fun. Hamburg has beautiful places.
Parking is very expensive, though. For instance, Miniatuur wunderland costs 15 per adult. Parking has cost us 10 euros. It's just an example.
Parking around the city cost about as expensive as in Amsterdam.
Public transport isn't always a possibility.

Hamburg is a very lively city.
Hamburg is a very lively city. You can’t get bored there but, if you are looking for historical milestones you will be dissapointed.
The most interisting thing is meeting people from different countries and cultures which will enrich your stay.

Public transport is good but we mostly walked. Check weather when it is cold and rainy you want nothing and city seems to be worse!!! After visiting old city visit St Pauli at night, get a feel of another Hamburg.

We did a mini family vacation with our two teenage kids.
We did a mini family vacation with our two teenage kids. Spent the better part of one day at Miniature Wunderland (recommend backstage tour). My son and I knew we would love it since we’re modellers but the wifey and daughter also loved it! Next day we took the ladies to the Hachez Chocoversum - also highly recommended. In between we spent lots of time walking through town and harbour along with the Elbohilharmonie which was free to get into and the cafe was really nice and pretty reasonable. Lots of good places to eat and lots of ethnic food.
“We really liked our stay in the hotel! The service is great, the room is clean and very comfortable. The view from the suite is very nice and the location of the hotel is very good. We didn't have any troubles during our stay and we will definitely come again for our next stay in Hamburg. :) ”
“Without any doubt the greatest hotel in Hamburg. The staff is extremely friendly and works proactive to make the stay unique. Breakfast is worth the money. Great selection & taste. The rooms themselves are nicely designed and made me feel at home from the first moment. Every single details is perfect at the hotel. Highly recommend to everyone that wants to enjoy Hamburg the classy way.”
“It was a surprisingly pleasant stay. The staff was really nice from the beginning; very welcoming and helpful. They offer a very well served breakfast with large variety and great coffee. The rooms are a bit small, but very cozy. In general, the hotel is outside the center of Hamburg, but very close to an S-Bahn Station which takes you directly to the center. We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it.”
“Nothing, arrogant staff, worst location, prostitutes, druggies, inside and outside of hotel.
Don't go for it if you searched here for the cheapest hotel near Hamburg center Station.
I checked out after overnight stay and booked last minute deal at another hotel,for far cheaper rate than this hotel.
Receptionist was an Afghan arrogant guy, apology apart, he did not even bother to say a single word about the situation.
Wasted alot of money for nothing.”
“Comfortable bed,Clean, warm room, helpful staff on reception, good bar area and free wi fi too. Great location and my room had a window and balcony with good view over Reeperbahn. 24 hour reception, Good value.”
“Gastwerk hotel is a wonderful conversion of an industrial facility into a hotel. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Our room was large and very well laid out. Bathroom was great with large tub and large shower.”
“Great breakfast! Very nice young man working the front desk. Our booking was in English and we had a special request of additional bed/cot for our daughter.”
“Staff was very polite and welcoming. Excellent standards of room size, cleanness and location. Breakfast was simple but nicely arranged and tasted good.”
“great location, great staff always helpful and kind.
breakfast food great, good variety and plenty of it. Never kept waiting for a table.
Spa brilliant, children loved it as did we!”
“The eggs were really good.
Didn't have bratkartoffel though, so I hope that is on the menu next time.
Excellent service by the staff.
Loved the villa.”
“The position was very good, but not for family with children. The hotel is in the middle of Reeperbahn (St Pauli) and the music is loud during the night, a lot of bars and prostitutes.”
