Well-run hotel, comfortable rooms and a great bar which stays open till late. U-Bahn stop outside the door.
Comfortable room, friendly staff - would have liked more breakfast choices.
Nice location and hotel very modern , clean and staff were extremely helpful
I felt cold and the receptionist has been so nice to bring me an additional blanket. And the lady from the breakfast service offered a coffee to me, even I didn't book a breakfast. Thank you so much.
Staff were friendly and the local is good. However, the smell of sewage coming from the bathroom in the room was anything but pleasant.
Friendly staff. Unfortunately the room was very warm at night because the airco did not cool. Reported this the next morning to the reception, but it turned out no action had been taken.
Really poor experience for the reservation. Business trip, rooms were not booked or canceled due to poor communication in the team and bad reservation management
There was some hair in the room. A garbage can on the floor would have been nice. Also a small fridge to store some food/drinks would be good. The wifi was very slow. Aside from that it was alright.
Nice and friendly staff. Kettles in the room would make it absolutely perfect!
No bottle water in the room, and the reception is not friendly and didnt offer water
Disappointed. A lot of building works going on, I couldn't open my window as that is where everyone congregated to have a cigarette break. I had a view of the waste skips for the building works currently going on in the hotel. The price was way too high for the building works going on and my room not being cleaned at all. The bed was made once in my 6 day stay, the dead fly on the window remained there until the day I left.... Really disappointed for a MotelOne, the others I have stayed at have always been great and friendly service. Unfortunately this was the odd one out. I would not stay in this MotelOne again. It was also noisy from early morning when work began.
It was as expected. Only issue I had was trying to make payment on your website on the day of check-in before arriving. Did not work. Had to call hotel and was reassured that bookijg is guaranteed till arrival.
Perfect
Cozy hotel and bar with a relaxed atmosphere. Nice breakfast buffet. Close to trian og other transportation. The only downside was the bed, which was not that comfortable (hard).
A lovely quiet room on a high floor (as requested, thank you). We liked the new style, more neutral and elegant, and good to be in a newly-decorated hotel. Reception staff could be more welcoming!
Please repair the broken parking slides, remove the old furniture from the garage or cover them with something. Mineralwater for 6.00 EUR is quite too expensive!
We had a great stay. The team overall was very friendly and helpful. The arrival experience was tricky as I arrived a day later. The evening team struggled, but the morning team was very efficient in sorting everything out. especially the breakfast team was always very eager to help. Jaquenline stood out with her great personality. We had a great stay overall. thank you!
Good location and super location for the U-bahn. Small room but fully adequate for a couple of nights.
Asking whether cleaning is need upon check-in was a bit of a surprise…
Nice place as usual Second night was difficult due too the heavy noise of one elevator
Great stay in Hamburg! Considering the rush-hour for breakfast, we only had to wait a few minutes. On arriving, we received a double room without extrabed (we were two adults and one child). Motel One gave us a solution by providing us two rooms for the first night. The following morning we received a room for three people, as requested. So Motel One tried to give us a solution at any moment.
Nice stay, good breakfast
Check-in needs to be improved. Waited 20 minutes!
Overall very good but busy hotel
Decent hotel but expensive breakfast for what you get. No kettle, fridge or water in the room. Unsatisfactory wait to check in (25 minutes) after a long day of travel.
Staff were friendly. Location was excellent.
The lobby is really nice and cosy, breakfast selection is decent. The rooms are very small, AC is due for a refit. It was impossible to control the temperature in the room, we had to leave the window open over night because the air would get extremely stale with two persons sleeping in this small room, the temperature fluctuated wildly over night from warm to cold. Ventilation in the bathroom didn't work effectively so we had to leave the door and window open to clear the moisture after showers. We got booked into a room equipped for only one guest and had to ask twice to get a second set of blankets and towels because the staff was too busy. I can live with these small details but expect better at the pricepoint. The staff was welcoming and did their best to make our stay comfortable.
Alles Top!
We had a nice stay in your hotel. I have one point to let you know: you ask ,for for reasons of the environment, to reuse towels and give the opportunity to not-cleaning the room, but it does not really work. Our room was cleaned and towels were changed even if we put the “please no cleaning” - annoncement on the door. And after 2days the “no-cleaning”-hanger disappeared so we could not ask for it anymore.
Very good service and very fine rooms.
The hotel was quite old and the room was quite uncomfortable (too little space, no night tables). The stuff forgot to put blankets & towels. On top of that, overbooked hotel caused lots of traffic jams in ELevator & Kitchen.
Due to a malfunction having to wait an hour for check in. Something I think could be a better plan for.
I was given a room which was already booked. When I entered the room there were bags of the person who was still staying for the night. Then I had to go to the reception to get another room. Other than this, evertything went well.
Very clean and modern style. Would have appreciated written information on the use of the tv
Alles war ok
Super Service, nette Lounge Alles war gut
Alles war perfekt!
We liked to live in your Hotel! Clean, comfortable, friendly. One question, why do you not have rooms with two separate beds? It would be better to have more different breakfast options (for example-eggs, scrumble, omlet)
The hotel has a great location. My room on the 17th floor had a wonderful view of the city. The room could use some updating. The air conditioning was a little dated and didn't cool the room adequately. I would add more savory items to the breakfast buffet, like sausages, scrambled eggs, etc.
TV didn’t work but otherwise, as usual, good value for money and the perfect business hotel. A fridge (empty) would have been useful..
Everything was satisfactory, the room was quiet.
Alles Super
On the first floor you can hear the bar/lounge music 24/7. I asked ind the reception when the turné the music off, the said never. I didn't chose my room or floor.
Ez check in. House cleaning did a great job! Breakfast as always great and ez to find from Hauptbahnof.
Great hotel, good location. However, missed the possibility to stream Netflix to the TV.
Not the best Motel One I have lived at. But clean and ok
Best Among Equals
Great staff, clean rooms, nice buffet with vegan options. There was a good deal days before trip for 96€. Thats great. Location is a bit far from center but walking distance to Alster/Lange Reihe. Rooms with xx01 or xx02 have beautiful view of city.
Alles super!
Martin at the reception was super helpful and very kind.

Location and surroundings
Hamburg-Lübeck-Rostock
Ahoy! The best places to get a fresh breeze to blow around your nose.
Hotel Hamburg Alster
Located right in the trendy district of St Georg, our affordable design hotel is all about the nearby Alster river. The Inner and Outer Alster lakes offer fun and relaxation to sailing, canoeing and rowing enthusiasts, while the surrounding parks and art-nouveau villas form a stunning backdrop for extended, leisurely walks. But first, you will witness the wintry side of Hamburg at our reception desk: a festival on the frozen Alster river demonstrates the chilly temperatures our Hanseatic City can reach. Walnut blinds on the ceiling of our bar embody the gentle waves of the Alster river, while accessories such as sailboats, ferry lamps and sailor's hats complete the maritime design concept of our hotel.
Our Motel One Hamburg-Alster is located in one of the most sought-after residential areas of the city. Fashionable street cafés, boutiques and the riverbank of the local tributary of the Elbe invite you to meander.
The central location of the city places you at a stone's throw of its sights: Mönckebergstraße, one of Hamburg's main shopping streets, is within comfortable walking distance. The underground and overground train station Berliner Tor and the underground station Lohmühlenstraße right outside the hotel connect you to the public transport network. If you are arriving and departing by train, you will be glad to know that Hamburg central station is only a few hundred metres away from our hotel.
Enjoy a stay in our Design Hotel by the Alster river and discover why the popular German musician Lotto King Karl once sang: “Hamburg, my pearl – you beautiful city, you.”
