Exactly what might be expected of a big city Hotel. Large, clean room overlooking the canal. Great breakfast. Competent, friendly staff. Great location within walking distance of the Elbe sights and great restaurants. more

This hotel is in the upscale downtown area with a few dozen cafes and restaurants within a half-mile radius, but the subway is free (just hop on) and it goes everywhere, so I'm not sure the premium price just for the location is worth it. They only give you one towel and one washcloth (for both of you), no iron,... more

This hotel stay would have / could have been the perfect end to two weeks of travel in Europe and the Persian Gulf, but for the fact that the hotel completely fumbled our request for a king bed. When my wife made the booking, she explicitly requested a king bed or two twins. (Let's just say this represents our compromise... more

The hotel is well located a shortish walk from most sights. The room is well furnished, a good size and comfortable. Breakfast wasn't included and seemed quite pricey so we ate in a variety of cafes close to the hotel. We had lunch there once which was ok but quite pricey by German standards. more

Yet another big hotel with no real soul or charm. The rooms are big, practical, sterlile, and clean. Service at the front desk efficient and they were very helpful since parking was impossible in their parking-garage they parked our car another place. The location was good. It took me about 10 minutes to walk to the "Rathaus" and "Europaplatz". It... more

The Steigenberger is a very nice and clean hotel in the upper, but not absolute top, ranks. It has quiet big and nicely decorated rooms. Especially the bathroom with it's separate toilet niche, is nice. I stayed for a conference and very much enjoyed the service of the staff and the breakfast, coffe breaks, lunches et cetera. Although the breakfast... more

We stayed in the Steigenberger in Hamburg for 3 nights during a long weekend: - perfectly situated in the city centre between two waterways; subway and suburban railway station, harbour, shopping facilities and sights are within spitting distance (2 to 10 min walking) - downright friendly service - modern and well kept rooms - steam bath, sauna and fitness room... more

I was in Hamburg for four nights for a business trip. I decided to stay downtown for proximity to restaurants, the Alster, and other sights. In addition to the location, good restaurant (the Bistro) and good service, the Steigenberger has all the amenities and comforts for a business traveler - shoe-shine service, wi-fi (expensive unless you use iPass or other... more

The hotel is situated on a canal and within walking distance to everything. I arrrived at 8 AM in the morning and my room was ready. Breakfast with champagne, 8 gourmet cheeses and smoked salmon was superb. There is a pedestrian mall outside with several lovely restaurants. Rooms are super spacious and clean. Staff goes out of their way to... more
