Hotels Near Magdeburger Hafen Viewpoint in Hamburg

The wow factor when you walk in is impressive! It’s a really funky hotel. Big comfy lounges in reception, a record room where you can sit or lie and listen to a great selection of vinyl records. A cool lounge area. The rooms are pretty cool looking too. But totally impractical. No bench for your suitcase so you are constantly crawling on the floor. My husband hit his head twice on the metal bed surround that forms part of the design. No face washers?? No tea and coffee making facilities in the room. And finally the only seating is a single hard steel chair. Sure it looks good but the lack of practical thought really takes the edge off what could have been a great stay.

This is in general a good hotel, but with room for improvement. The location in the old warehouse district is excellent, and the rooms are well appointed and comfortable, with the exception of the towels, which are quite small and poor quality, not in any way in keeping with the standard of the hotel. The staff were reasonably efficient, but cold and unfriendly. Either it is a bad place to work, or they need some serious training in hospitality. We never tried the food as the one night we wanted to eat the restaurant was closed due to staff shortages. It was expensive, but I think that was in some considerable part due to our stay coinciding with a major exhibition, making accommodation scarce across the city I would probably go back again as the excellent location offsets the poor points, just.

The prizeotel was very clean and suited perfectly my needs for a short stay. The staff was very welcoming and everything was so clean inside the room ! I recommmend 100%

I stayed in ”Alte Wache” hotel 2 nights for working reasons, arriving by taxi from the apt. The kindness, courtesy and service efficiency of the gentleman and the lady at the reception deserve a top rate. They both are a great example of care and warm hospitality, making every guest feel really welcomed. The lobby is nice in its old fashion style, the double room is spacious, perfectly clean and silent; breakfast was very good, and much better than some 4stars hotel: the tea blend selections very appreciated and the fresh flower on the tables a lovely, precious gift!! 2 small suggestions: 1) the morning waitress should be a little bit more smilying; 2) do not accomodate a person alone in a dinner table for 6. The hotel is also extremely close to city center (walking distance), so I really reccomend it!!

STAY AWAY. I am a very fair minded traveler. I was making a trip to Hamburg in August, so I knew I should plan for dealing with potential hot weather. I did extensive searching, including on TripAdvisor, specifically filter for the room having air conditioning. Nyce came up in the top of every search and clearing listed ”air conditioning” as one of their amenities. So I made a reservation and prepaid per their policy At the actual hotel [yes, on a hot weather day] when I entered the room there was NO A/C and mor even a fan. Only one window that could be cracked open approximately 6 inches. The room was a suana. When I talked with the reception desk the staff had harsh attitude and demanded to see where air conditioning had been promised. I showed them multiple screens, but their response was ”Google lies all the time”. I even offered to accept a partial refund [one of the two prepaid nights], but that was met with an even worse attitude. I left for another hotel. The Courtyard By Marriott about 5 minutes away was newly constructed, extremely helpful reception staff , and FULLY AIR CONDITIONED. The reception even told me ”Please go check the room, we want you to completely comfortable”. The room was at beautiful and yreat quality...and was almost the exact same price as the single room at Nyce A day later I received an email from Ntce site management. They request screenshots and I supplied, bit had the same dismissive ”blame the customer” and stated they would make no refund at all. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from this property, you simply cannot trust them.

Stayed in a single room, then switched to a 6 man dorm on the final night as it was Sunday and was expecting it to be very quiet. The single rooms are spartan and there is not even a chair, just some little stuffed stool. The issue in Hamburg is that accomdation is expensive in the city. For the same money, you could stay at a very nice 3 star hotel in many European cities! The 6 man dorm seemed quiet and ok, and then I noticed the issues. There were beer stains on the floor that acted as adhesive for my shoes. Crumbs and discarded sweet rappers in and around the bed. I had the room to myself so didn't complain. Settled for a decent night's rest. That's when someone came in at midnight (Sunday) and loudly stomped around, turning on all of the lights. They then took a shower and took their merry time settling into bed... For the price the rooms are not up to scratch. However, there aren't many ”cheaper” alternatives in Hamburg and the hostel (that charges hotel prices) know this. The check-in service was tedious and there's a queue at check in time. When I switched rooms to the 6 man dorm I said I wanted an early checkin to the that room if possible, and on the quiet side of the building (non motorway). They said no problem. Then, when I went to the room, it was of course on the noisy side. Went back and had to wait a couple hours longer before I could access the quieter room that I had asked for. The customer service is not great. They'll ask for your booking number even after you tell them your name. I did not feel like digging around for the number so I said my name and they searched for it (much to their distain probably).

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.

Super service, only the drinking machines were cold/heat had problems, but this may be because not so many guests were expected. There could still be work on it. The employees have been curved to meet the guest. Praise the brave rank. If we travel back to Hamburg, we will check in back to this hotel. Oh, what to mention: Super connection to S1 and U3, which drive in all directions

I was just passing through Hamburg and needed somewhere to stay the night near the autobahn. Found this hotel thru my buddy Google and chanced upon it. They had vacancies so done deal. What first appeared to be a very friendly price wasn't quite as friendly when factoring in breakfast and parking fee. As expected the room was quite small but had everything you need including a super efficient aircon. A big big minus for wifi not working! Apparently some problem with the ISP that had been reported already the previous day. This simply cannot be allowed to happen in 2023.
