8/10 Good
"The staffs greeted us warmly and checked in was very efficient. Hotel location was excellent right across the streets from the central station. We recommend to travelers that needed to get an earlier train like us. Our room was a bit on the small side, yet its location suited us. We gave 4 stars was because it didn’t have AC even though we understood it would be hard to install in a historical building, yet global warming as result of extreme warm temperatures in Europe, travelers could be difficult to sleep especially from the noises of the train station if the windows were opened. Over all, the room was comfortable and staffs were really nice and we went exploring the areas with public transportation FREE, a gift from the hotel to its guests a few steps from the hotel. It was a nice touch."

"This is a very nice hotel located in a promenade area. Lots of tourists and other pedestrians the moment you set foot outside the hotel, but also good shopping and restaurants right out side the hotel. The concierge was terrific. The hotel has an odd configuration that we did not love; you have to take an elevator up from the street level to reception and then a different elevator up to the rooms. Lots of elevators to get in and out of the hotel. Our room had an interior view only which felt claustrophobic. I would definitely recommend that you request an exterior view room."

Premier Inn Hamburg City Klostertor

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is about 17 minutes away from Hamburg central station. It is a good location and a safe one. It is walkable. Bus # 12 runs right in front of the hotel. There is a train within 4 minutes walk, but I can’t remember its number. It has some food places within walking distance. It was, however, difficult to find anything open before 6 pm. Sunday many places are closed. We walked to central station daily because of our plans to see sites required using public transportation. Therefore, we bought food near central station. Plenty of Resturants and stores to buy fruits, etc. The hotel staff are nice and responsive, we want to specifically thank Micaela for taking care of our many questions and responding to our needs for a quiet room, etc. She was very helpful, polite and welcoming. The room is spacious with siting area( desk and lounge chair). One small open space that they considered closet, but it is really not enough. We made it work. The room has air conditioning, refrigerator, coffee & tea maker. They provide water, coffee, tea, cream & sugar. No safe which we paid extra for premier plus room so that we can have all the above plus a safe. The one thing I am hoping for is that they will pull the rug out of the rooms and replace with wood floors. We would definitely stay at this hotel again."
