Feedback about Ibis Hotel Hamburg Alster Centrum from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Ibis Hotel Hamburg Alster Centrum is often praised for its convenient location, being within a short walk of about 10 minutes from the central station and roughly 10-15 minutes to the main shopping street and Rathaus Square. Guests frequently highlight the extensive breakfast buffet, which includes options like fresh waffles, bacon, and eggs. Some rooms offer pleasant views, including sights of the Alster river or a green roof, though a few guests have noted that certain rooms may face the railroad. The hotel's proximity to the Hauptbahnhof and Elbphilharmonie is also a definite plus.

Fantastic Stay in Central Location

spacious roomaffordable priceconvenient locationsufficient options

The hotel was surprisingly good, especially considering the price was more affordable than other centrally located options. My room was quite spacious, well kept, and aesthetically pleasing. I found the hotel to be conveniently located, with easy access to the train station (a short 10-minute walk). The breakfast offered sufficient options for both adults and children (it was approximately 18€ for adults).

The hotel lacked a bar or restaurant. Guests have limited options for dining if they prefer to stay in, there is only a vending machine.

The hotel features a paid parking garage with direct access to reception, very convenient. Wi-Fi access is available throughout the hotel, it works well for staying connected. The cleanliness level throughout all areas of the hotel is very high.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Drawbacks

good locationfaulty air conditioningsmall bed

The location was good. It was easy to reach from the train station.

The air conditioning did not work properly in my room, so it felt stuffy. The bed was also smaller than expected. It felt more like a French bed than a standard double. This made sleeping uncomfortable, and the overall comfort level of the room was low..
