Hotel Wikinger Hof Hamburg

Just the location is good nothing else. The quality is too low, noisy

sehr gut

Stairs to the room are stiff. The noise from outside disturbs sleep

This is a brave little hotel in a downtown area. My room was very clean and in good decorative order. The bed was comfortable. It was quiet and I slept well. It is a budget hotel and I got more than a budget experience so I have no complaints.

Good service, fairly clean - however, didn't notice the shared bathroom situation until i got there - but guess i should have read the booking more carefully

The breakfast was a bonus however there were other real problems. The shower room requires some update and maintainance, having a unpleasant shower base with mould showing in several places. The reception staff needed more training trying to charge me for the room which I had already paid Expedia for. The rooms lacked sound insulation and I could hear a great deal of what was happening next door. An electric soc

We needed somewhere inexpensive and central as a base for an activity weekend, so I guess we got that, but having stayed in plenty of similarly priced and situated hotels in other German cities, in comparison this one is a bit below par. The hotel was surprisingly quiet at night (given the location) and our beds were comfortable, the in-room bathroom new, and there are plenty of good places to eat nearby (the Persian restaurant across the road is very good). However, there was a dirty duster on the floor when we arrived (and a small pile of dust), towels hadn't been provided (we had to ask - and we did this twice during our five-day stay) and there wasn't enough toilet paper provided (we had to ask for that as well). The shared bathroom facilities looked in dire need of deep renovation and there was clear need for repairs in the bedrooms as well (e.g. missing bits of doorframe). Ok for what we needed, but it wouldn't be our first choice on another occasion.

The shared shower turned out to be a shower cubicle inside a cupboard. There was about a foot of space between the cupboard door and the shower and a foot at the side of the shower and the wall. Meaning you had to get undressed and dressed partially inside the shower. I've seen better shared shower facilities in a low grade hostel.

The room was clean, the staff (what little I saw of them) were polite and the location is convenient to the train station. Otherwise there is not much good to say about it. For example, the door to the shared WC wouldn't lock, although it was also so hard to open that you'd have warning if someone tried to come in. One of two shared showers was closed; the other was installed in a hall closet in a way that made it extremely awkward to use. Noise at night was disruptive, mainly from the street but to some extent from within the building.
