"While the Steigenberger Hamburg prodes itself as a true five star premium hotel, and it generally is able to deliver on that promise - there are a few shortfalls that prevented me from rating my recent first stay at the central Hamburg flagship hotel as excellent.
Firstly the positives: the location is truly spectacular and very, very central. The hotel is conveniently reachable via public transportation and it also offers direct access to a (rather pricey) public parking garage. The staff is at the reception and is very friendly - and the breakfast staff is truly fantastic. They treat all guest with such warm hospitality, care and attentiveness - it's truly a special experience. And so is the breakfast buffet, which is of very high quality and offers a great spread of food and beverage items. The food service team is really talented and super nice.
Some areas of improvement: while my room was large, it did lack a certain premium ambience befitting the high price asked. Furnishings and fittings are modern enough, but the style is rather bland resembling a certain Swedish furniture brand. Functionality was also lacking: from power outlets that cannot take adapters nor UK/US style plugs, to stained curtains and light switches hidden behind bedside lamps. I couldn't figure out the AC controls, and the mattress was way too soft.
I had a pleasant stay overall due to the top staff, the great breakfast and the central location. But the rooms need an upgrade to truly feel 5 star."
"A good stay at the Radisson Blu Hamburg (near the Messe). Breakfast was ‘ok’ although not quite as good at the previous Radisson Blu that we stayed at.
It’s in a nice location right next to the botanical gardens - really nice to walk around if you like that sort of thing."
"Clean room, although older furnishings. Staff were nice and attentive. Lacking was coffee in the room and an iron. Also shared patio where people smoked outside our room so we had to close windows and no A/C so room was stuffy. Overall good stay and reasonable price."
