Lovely hotel, tucked down a side street. From the facade, you wouldnt expect it to be so lovely inside.
In a great area for public transport and places to eat.
Car park is about an 8 min walk, so drop your bags off first.
Our room (103) was lovely, such a comfy bed.
Shower was big with high water pressure.
Breakfast was amazing, such choice!
All the staff were very helpful.
Mini bar was well stocked with drinks and nibbles (payable).
Just a few niggles...
The shower door didn't fully close, so it made the floor outside very wet when showering.
The toilet door didn't close fully, which didn't bother us but may bother others.
Please take time to learn how to use the lighting panels. If you need to get up in the night, you'll end up feeling like you're in a disco as you won't know which icon to press.
I cancelled the daily room service on the electronic pad, but the maids still knocked on the door and came in!
Would definitely benefit from blackout curtains as the blind let's in lots of light.
There is a glass roof on the restaurant, which shon light into the rooms above.
The view from our room was non existent, just lots of black window shutters (which you couldn't shut, I think maybe to give a bit of privacy as all the rooms are overlooked). I've added a pic of our view.
Lastly, our window wouldnt open.
We would definitely recommend this lovely hotel.

It is only 5 minutes walk, crucial if you have a timed ticket that limits when you can get in

Three times during the afternoon of my stay I contacted the reception staff members and advised that I needed my room temperature dropped to 18 degrees as I can’t sleep at the 21 degrees it has been automatically set at. All three agreed to do so however my room stayed at the 21 degree level and I had no sleep for the night. As proof of this I have attached photo’s that I took at 1am, 3am and 5am. I have 7 hours of travelling to do today and now need to do it on no sleep. This is unacceptable and dangerous.

Superb room, great location.

A very nice hotel,great quiet room with nice decorations,windows that can open for fresh air. Great bathroom. Large TV. A plus: the Nespresso type coffee maker! I enjoyed it! The mini fridge a bit cramped..
Very nice linens.
I had a hard time stepping in the hotel on the street level, they use very strong perfumed diffusers that affect the breathing, I had to wear a mask from the front door till the elevator. A poor common practice in Europe, with the false conviction that the perfumed sprays and diffusers make the air better, when indeed they replace the good oxygen..Not helping the eco system!

I really enjoyed this property. My room was very comfortable and super stylish. There was nothing cookie-cutter about it. It felt like the room had been designed and decorated individually by someone of the highest taste and ability. There were lots of individual surprising touches, as well as plenty of attention on comfort and function. The area is quiet but near many things, including the philharmonic hall and the miniature museum -- both highly recommended. The hotel is pretty new, I think, so not all the dining options were in place, but it didn't matter. It's a stay I'll longer remember and one of my favorite ever.

A wonderful and unique place. I could only sing praises if there wasn‘t the subject of a credit owed but not refunded yet.
I was given 2 adjacent suites which as a single traveler I did not need. So I requested a cancellation of one of the suites for the 2nd night which was agreed upon. However when checking out I was billed the full amount with the assurance(it was a Sunday) that the credit would be issued by accounting on Monday. I am still waiting.
Sadly this clouded an otherwise wonderful experience.

The room was so impressive that we enquired about upgrading to a better room. We were able to do this after the first night.

It was worth the move, the bath tub extremely spacious and the room much bigger overall.

Location is great for the Elbphilharmonie, about a 10 minute walk, and for city shopping and restaurants, also a few minutes away.

The hotel is a little unassuming from the outside but when you enter it really is very well presented. The staff are exceptionally polite and provide high levels of service. The rooms, I have stopped twice now, can be a little small but they are extremely well equipped and finished to a very high standard. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The only minor downside is there is a slight shortage of bars and restaurants in the immediate area and the hotel bar and restaurant is quite formal but.... if you have a quick search on google and don't mind a 5 minute walk there are places in reach.
