Great communication by the host, affordable accommodation in an expensive city, great food stops around the corner and the room was clean.

Carel Netherlands

Perfect. The possibility for the breakfast is merveillous. Top

Fabre France

The place is clean and the environment is nice and quiet.

Poliang Taiwan

the room was neat and clean and and comfortable. The snacks available in the kitchen were good. The only drawback is that one has to share washrooms with other guests

Aarushi Germany

The place was very clean and well organised. It had everything we needed.

Pavels Denmark

I really like that there is a well-equiped and clean kitchen. Especially when you are travelling on a budget this is a great thing!

Toon Belgium

Excellent location, quiet, no problem with parking my car, great cafe for breakfast around the corner. Clean nice rooms, lovely pictures on the walls which make room very cosy. Clean bedsheets and two towels per person. Coffee machine and cookies were nice addition in the kitchen ;-) Small shared toilet and bathroom was alright. Check in was fast, check out even faster ;-)

Barbara Poland

Extremely friendly and helpful welcome, particularly as I had to call ahead to advise of late arrival due to train delays. Room was a good size. Everything very clean. Lots of snacks and freebies available. Kitchen there for your use and breakfast available at a very fair price. Accommodation is located in a nice part of the city, with some great restaurants and bars very close by. I would say this is one of the best places I've ever stayed in.

Olly United Kingdom

A wonderful place, great location close to bus and U-bahn. Great cafés and restuarants and so calm and nice to be in Rotherbaum a bit away from the city center.

Janne Denmark

It's nice that although it's a hostel, the location is a really great area of the city rather than some forsaken no-go zone. The room itself was all I needed and expected, a great place for a few days' stay. The garden with a door straight from the kitchen was a nice touch, even if I stayed too short to actually enjoy it. The flat had only 2 rooms, so I was pleased I didn't have to fight over bathroom.

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.3

Unsere Pension „Basement“ hat im September 2011 eröffnet. Wir sind ein junges Team von drei Mitarbeitern, die das Basement Rotherbaum führen und Ihnen den Aufenthalt so gemütlich wie möglich machen. Bitte sprechen Sie uns an, auch wenn Sie etwas über Hamburg und Freizeitangebote wissen wollen. Unser Haus befindet sich in der Rappstraße, im Hamburger Grindelviertel. Es ist eine ruhige Seitenstraße, die Zimmer liegen zum begrünten Innenhof und verfügen teils über direkten Zugang zum Garten. Sie sind individuell gestaltet und mit bis zu drei Betten ausgestattet. Zur Erholung nach langen Stadtbesichtigungen oder Arbeitsaufenthalten in der Hansestadt haben sie moderne Fernseher und verfügen über drahtlosen Internetzugang. Im angrenzenden Kickerzimmer können sich Fans von Tischfußball an einem „Löwe“-Kicker messen. Unsere Angestellten geben zu den angegebenen Bürozeiten gerne Auskünfte und versuchen Ihnen bei Fragen weiterzuhelfe

Wir geniessen es die Stadt und die vielfältigen Angebote zu nutzen und ab und an die nahegelegene Ostsee zu fahren und am Meer zu entspannen.

Die Lage des „Basements“ ist zentral und doch ruhig, in dem von Jugendstilhäusern geprägten Viertel gibt es vielfältige Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, nicht nur für den täglichen Bedarf. Mit den Buslinien vier und fünf erreichen Sie innerhalb von zehn Minuten die Hamburger Innenstadt, auch der Hafen ist nicht weit. Es lohnt sich aber auch ein Spaziergang durch die Nachbarschaft. Das Grindelviertel liegt im traditionsreichen Stadtteil Rotherbaum. Es war der Mittelpunkt des jüdischen Lebens in Hamburg, wovon auch heute noch die nahegelegene Talmud-Tora-Schule zeugt. Durch die Universität und das cineasten wohlbekannte „Abaton“-Programmkino ist es ein lebendiges Quartier, an dem Gäste auch Abends innerhalb von Minuten gemütliche Weinlokale oder studentisch geprägte Kneipen wie die „Ponybar“ erreichen. Ein Blick ins Internet oder in den Reiseführer lohnt sich, denn auch vermeintlich gewöhnliche Orte wie das zur Jahrhundertwende erbaute Postamt in der Schlüterstraße gehören architektonisch zu Hamburgs schönsten Gebäuden.
