Hotels near Volksdorfer Wald, Hamburg

We stayed here for 5 days for a family visit. The hotel surprised us in a good way. Everything was clean efficient and pleasant. The location was also ideal for us (5min to the subway/tube station). Modern building, nice breakfast buffets - nice bathroom, and quiet room. Couldn't ask for more. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit allem. I think it also presented good value for money.

+ Modern and stylish + Everything was clean + Everything was as shown on the pictures - A cleaner knocked and then opened my door, before I could reply to the knock, at 9:45. Check-out is at 11. The door was locked from the inside, apparently that means nothing. ***? I was trying to sleep, I had not checked out, and the door was locked. How can this happen?! Next, they start vacuuming and rummaging around the cabin horizontally adjacent to me across the next 30 minutes, which made it impossible to sleep again. (I had a late night, and was going to have a long day and evening this day, hence me wanting to sleep nearly another hour before I had to get up for check-out.) - Not quite soundproof; hallway music was turned on around 9:30 and softly audible inside the cabin. (I did not hear any noise from guests in other cabins.) It did not wake me up, but it did not help with falling back asleep. - Not quite light-proof either. The shutters dim it to the light level of a half-full moon: not enough to read a book, but you can see detailed outlines of everything still. - The temperature in a cabin cannot be regulated; it's rather warm (if it were cold, you could just put on another blanket... but it was slightly too warm) + Plenty of charging spots in the cabin + The cabin feels cozy - The pillow was extremely thin. Most pillows are too thick for me, but this pillow was like laying on a fluffy towel. No other pillows available inside the cabin (I did not ask for another one either). I added my (yet unused) shower towel below it and that was fine. - The bed was very high up (around my belly button iirc; I'm 1.80m tall). Fine for me, but if you are not athletic, you cannot get in. Grabbing something from your bag below at night meant getting up and doing gymnastics. There was a little plank on the wall which looked like a shelf and I am not sure would have held me (63kg); unclear whether this is meant as a stepping aid but it was a bit low and narrow for that anyway. + Enough space in the cabin to store your backpack as well as taking some things out of the backpack while getting (un)dressed standing up. This is different (much more spacious) than the capsules you might have seen from Japan. + Showers were a good and consistent temperature + Good price for vegan food in the restaurant I saw other reviews mentioning a draft of air aimed at their face all night: I did not have that, no matter whether I laid with my head or with my feet towards the door. My air vent supplied a tiny amount of cool air, barely flowing and not noticeable unless you put your hand beside it. Another review mentioned an automatic light turning on whenever they moved at night. My automatic night was below the bed and did not trigger unless I stood there. The main light and another adjustable reading light were button-operated. My cabin was #002, the upper cabin of a pair. I paid 60 euros for the first night (December 26-27), and would have paid 90 for a second night b

Sometimes we are in hotels where you somehow get a strange feeling right from the moment you check in. You don't feel comfortable and welcome. The Courtyard Hamburg City is one of them. It started at the reception during our very early check-in. The staff member told us in a supercilious manner that we had received an upgrade. But the ”better” rooms had not yet been cleaned. But because we were getting an upgrade, it would certainly be worth waiting for the room. Our question about when we could expect the room was only answered with the statement that the actual check-in was at 3 pm. We could go into town in the meantime, it's not far and we shouldn't come back too early - 3 pm. We could leave our luggage at the hotel. There is still room for improvement! And so there were a few similar little things during our stay. None of them big issues. But just a lot of little things where you keep asking yourself: ”Why? Why don't they just do it better?” The stay ended as it had begun. After our online check-out, we discovered that the bill was not correct. However, this was corrected immediately after a complaint by e-mail. No comment. Without apology or the like. A word about breakfast, as there were many comments on this: The restaurant in the hotel is run by an outside company. This is not noticeable at first glance. Nevertheless, this constellation has disadvantages. For example, the restaurant is closed one day a week (breakfast is of course available all week). Is that a good thing for a hotel? That's something everyone has to decide for themselves. But now to breakfast: Cost: 25 Euros, if not already included in the room rate. The breakfast is extensive. Nevertheless, there are some things that are not there. For example, freshly prepared egg dishes. Here, you are treated to prefabricated fried eggs, scrambled eggs and the like, some of which look rather adventurous. There are also no pencakes or waffles. On the other hand, there is a large vegetarian/vegan corner. Most of the dishes are of very high quality, often even organic or Demeter. The service is prompt, attentive and friendly. The ambience in the restaurant is also quite good. Is the breakfast now worth its 25 euros? Yes, because the restaurant is run by a third party and the operator also has to earn money. Yes, because the ingredients are of very high quality. Yes, because the selection is quite large. No, because certain things such as egg dishes prepared on site are missing. No, because the selection is large, but not outstanding. In our opinion, a price of 19 euros would suit the breakfast better.

We booked this hotel via Amoma. Com as it stated that this hotel had large family rooms, pets were welcome and that the rooms had air-conditioning. All not true. We were asked to pay an additional 30 euros for our third child. We had also booked a quiet room but faced the very noisy street. The room was extraordinaryly hot and staff did not provide us with a fan. The room was small but reasonably clean. No tea or coffee making facilities. The bathroom was ok but hairdryer did not work. Interiors quite tired. The biggest problem with this hotel is the location. It is the local druggie hang out. We saw people using drugs in the street right outside the hotel and it was clear that this is not a safe area. The riot police attended several incidents during our stay and made several arrests. **********s operate in this area too. We would not recommend to stay here and it certainly was not even good value for money.

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.

Top notch employees. So friendly, so service - oriented, so authentic! I don't want to speak about the hardware: It's new and spotless and the quality of the breakfast for a three star chain is much better than you would expect. But extraordinary are the employees I met today. Front office is super friendly and efficient. Can't remember their names but took a pic of them. They are the right persons at the right place. They walk the extra mile. When it comes to the breakfast area I encountered their team leader Maeretha. She is one of a kind. Extremely enthusiastic with a winning personality she could excel in any field. She is very happy with her job and fulfills her role in an exceptional way. If I would be her father I would send her studying at a Swiss hotel school to become the CEO of Hilton Germany 🇩🇪! It was a pleasure to meet her.

Location is relatively central and within walking distance to Jungfernsteig shopping district, 5 min drive from Alster Lake. The hotel is relatively new and clean, well maintained. There is a Nespresso machine in the room however there was no hot water kettle. When queried, the staff said to just use the Nespresso machine for hot water or drink water from the tap! Only sparkling water bottle was provided, if you want to buy a bottle of still water, it will cost EU7.00 (no thank you)!

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.

Stayed there three nights earlier this week. Nice central location, clean and spacious room, good food, friendly reception people, but..... In short, when reserving online, I wrote just one thing in the 'special requests' section, and that was ”As quiet a room as possible please.” I suppose the best and most truthful possible answer to this would have been, ”Sorry, that just won't be possible at the moment because there is loud construction noise all day long, starting at 7 a.m.. We have reserved a room for you at the nearby Marriott instead.” That is of course not what happened. This situation may of course not be entirely the case for every single room. A receptionist told us there were three separate construction projects happening and each affected a different part of the hotel. (None are in the hotel itself.) We had room 524, which is next to a fire escape stairway. I suspect the construction in question was below the bottom of the stairway as the noise seemed to come mainly from there. On Monday morning the jackhammers started at 8 a.m., On Tuesday they started at 7:30 and on Wednesday at 7 a.m. Yesterday (Wednesday), we came back in the middle of the day, hoping for a short nap as the workers took their lunch break, which they did at 12:15. No luck. The hotel ran a pre-announced test of the fire alarm on our floor at 12:35. It rang 8 times. The construction work restarted just after 1 p.m. I measured it at a constant 50 dB using an app on my phone. I feel quite strongly that the rooms in the areas most affected by the construction noise should not be on sale at all. If not, there should be a warning on the website that it will be noisy, advising prospective guests that they should really choose somewhere else for the time being. Yes, I realize that would be a tough decision, but you are putting your reputation on the line at the moment, and the current message seems to be that you don't care.

The check-in service went without problems and quickly we received our room. The staff is premature and friendly. The room was also clean. And also offers enough room for clothes. The bathroom is small, but it is enough for shower and tooth cleaning. We would have booked breakfast if we didn't have to leave so early. For a weekend trip, this hotel is recommended.
