"Staff were outstanding Breakfast excellent"
AMERON Hamburg Hotel Speicherstadt
"Nice hotel, but expensive breakfast and car parking! The rooms are nice but you have one key so can’t charge things or leave the ac on whilst out! Unfortunately the restaurant menu is a big let down, all what they serve is Italian food?! Not something foreigners seek when visiting Germany."
Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg
"A good stay at the Radisson Blu Hamburg (near the Messe). Breakfast was ‘ok’ although not quite as good at the previous Radisson Blu that we stayed at. It’s in a nice location right next to the botanical gardens - really nice to walk around if you like that sort of thing."
