Lankow Vacations from ￥233,589

Great hotel, would have rated 5 stars but we stayed there on a Monday - restaurants closed, limited dinner options in the bar lounge. Long wait for everything. Beverage prices excessive for the quality (e.g., Grauburgunder by the glass @ EUR 11/100ml would have to be remarkable; the wine on offer was of low complexity, flat, not fresh)

I was not a huge fan of decor

Amazing hospitality

Great spot. Our only gripe about this otherwise excellent place to stay was that the bar staff refused or were unable to serve hot drinks when we looked for a late evening nightcap and one of us wanted a herbal tea (along with a schnapps!). The excuse was that there are tea and coffee making facilities in the room but that simply is not credible for this class of hotel.

We stayed for two nights and honestly couldn’t fault a thing. We arrived early due to our flight landing in the morning and knew check-in wasn’t until 3pm. We had already contacted the hotel to ask about leaving our luggage, which they were happy to store for us. When we arrived, the reception staff were incredibly friendly and let us know our room would actually be ready within the hour. We popped out for some food nearby and came back to check in before heading into Hamburg. The location is perfect, right next to the U-Bahn station, which made getting around the city so easy and convenient. Breakfast was fantastic. There was everything you could possibly want, yoghurt, cereals, cakes, pastries, cooked breakfast, fresh bread, meats and cheeses. There was even a pump of Nutella, which was a big hit with our 12-year-old! We genuinely couldn’t fault the hotel. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and an excellent breakfast. We will definitely be back.
