Hotels near Offener Bücherschrank, Hamburg

OK - it's still the furniture I knew from the time when it was the Forum Hotel. And that's very long ago. But in autumn the renovation is supposed to go. The reception was very friendly. It's been really fun. I have a beautiful room with beautiful views of the city. Unfortunately, very much is built so that you may not be able to look at the elbe at all next time. Unfortunately. This time there was even a process that was close. Until the water pressure (15th floor) the shower was all right. But this is natural and there was no standard. I was surprised at breakfast. Besides the friendly staff, which quickly cleaned, the offer was very versatile. I asked: the fricadels tasted as they did (burned apple pieces) and not for convenience. But you didn't want to make yourself with foreign pearls and thought it was convenience. But it was all very good. I will put the hotel more in my focus once I'm back in Hamburg.

Fantastic service from Paulina. She checked me into the hotel efficiently. Told me all about the services offered by the hotel. She was friendly and helpful. I had asked her to help me pay a traffic ticket that was written in German. She read the ticket, translated and helped me figure out how to pay it. Thank you. The hotel was under renovation but the room was very nice. It was quiet and had a nice view of the canal. The location is very central-walking distance to most sites and to the shopping areas. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location. Easy to get around and get back to the place at night. If you're a light sleeper I wouldn't recommend the shared rooms, people coming back late at night, the doors close quite loudly. My only complaint is that I received a keycard to the wrong room and walked right into a private suite.. Nobody was there thankfully and I just walked right out, but if I were staying in a private room I would hate to think that strangers could just walk into my room where all my belongings are lying around. Otherwise clean and quite a cool environment.

The location is convenient, very close to Hamburg train station and subway station, suitable for transit. The surrounding business is developed, and it is convenient for eating and shopping. The hotel has a sense of history, the rooms are large, and all the necessary facilities are available. The price should be considered a good value. Service and breakfast were pretty good.

Nefasto, la primera mañana al despertar veo sangre en la sabanas sin saber de donde procedía, aviso a limpieza y hacen la habitación, pero no me dicen nada, ese día ya tengo picaduras y ronchas en las piernas , espalda y cuello, cual es mi sorpresa cuando en la noche un pequeño animal caminando por la almohada, lo aplasto y esta lleno de sangre... chinches en la cama!!!! aviso en recepción no tienen hojas de reclamación ... ese día ya dejo el hotel. cuando envío reclamación al email su respuesta es ”Pedimos disculpas por las molestias. Tenga en cuenta que las chinches no son un problema de salud y, lamentablemente, pueden aparecer en los mejores hoteles independientemente del precio y la clasificación de estrellas... bla bla bla... y tan a gusto se han quedado.

All in all the hotel is quite good, unfortunately some shortcomings put it to average for us. Upon check in, was asked at the reception whether we were Covid vaccinated 2 or 3 times. The certificate itself was barely looked at and no QR code scan was done. During our 3 nights stay, this was correctly done when entering Restaurant for breakfast, so why not at first contact point Reception? Upon entering our room (336), immediately noticed that it was rather cold inside. Normal if a window is open and aircon set at lowest level… Noticed as well that some empty shopping paper bags and some used brochures had most probably been forgotten during cleaning. In fact the bags were rather big and could not be overseen… Worse however were 2 used plastic cups in the bathroom, once again impossible to oversee them! The room itself was quite ok if you do not consider some stains on carpet and chair, however the very small wardrobe is kind of bad joke. ONE small storage compartment for a double room and no other storage possibilities in the room is far from standard! Breakfast on Sunday morning was rather chaotic with a completely full restaurant. Why not attribute time slots in order to avoid such a situation? This is done in some hotels and is rather helpful. On the day of our departure, somebody knocked at our room door at 08.45 am. Quite astonished that it was the cleaning lady who asked at what time we would leave... Had never experienced such acting in any other hotel also considering the check-out time of 11.00 am

The beautiful, large lobby, which reflects the long history of the hotel is hugely impressive whilst the rooms are stylishly modern. My room had plenty of room for storage (often lacking in many hotels), a very comfortable double bed and an immaculate, well designed large bathroom. Breakfast offerings were exceptional and it was good (and rare) to be able to have items cooked to order. The lobby cafe/bar was pleasant but service was disappointingly slow. Although these are difficult times due to the pandemic, it was a great shame that the restaurant and bar were both closed. Given that most other hospitality premises had reopened in Hamburg, I found it odd that the hotel had not been able to open them and had not publicised that fact more openly on their website.

The hotel is large and the lobby is stylish, but there are too many conference guests staying, and breakfast needs to be queued. The experience is not very good. When booking, the room away from the elevator was specially noted. When Checkin, the room next to the elevator was still given. The elevator sound was very noisy. Fortunately, the front desk agreed to change rooms. Room facilities are acceptable, two bottles of mineral water are given. The shower and bathtub are integrated, I personally don't like it very much. Rich variety of breakfast

Great value for money close to the Zoo.. even though it was perhaps not a topnotch hotel, we thought we got good value for money with spacious and clean rooms and easy access to parking (which is not a given in Hamburg)… breakfast was ok as well :-)

We would be slipped out of sleep twice by the phone, 3:45 and 4:20, each at the other end. We were nervous then pulled the phone plug. So good sleep was not to think
