What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Ibis Hotel Hamburg Alster Centrum enjoys a central location, within walking distance of the central station and very near to the larger Alster Lake. Guests appreciate the convenience of the location and the uitgebreid standard breakfast buffet. The availability of a Tiefgarage is especially practical for those arriving by car, and some have found the Kaffeemaschine in the foyer a welcome addition. While some guests have mentioned issues with the air conditioning in certain rooms, the hotel's soundproof windows ensure a quiet stay despite its proximity to the train station.

the location near the main train station was convenient. i found good space for hanging clothes in the room. the breakfast (especially the bread selection) was very good and plentiful.

the air conditioning did not seem very effective in my room. i had trouble getting it to cool the space down adequately (it may have needed maintenance).

the hotel benefits from its proximity to the main railway station, offering easy access for travelers arriving or departing by train. it's also a reasonable distance from the city center if you don't mind walking a bit. the alster lake is also nearby.

breakfast offers a wide variety of options, ensuring guests can find something to suit their tastes (i liked the pastries). the dining area is spacious and well-kept. the hotel does not have a dedicated restaurant for lunch or dinner.
