Yoho Ho(tel) - Where Santa stays in Hamburg?

Advantages: Something a bit different from your regular German city hotels
Disadvantages: Limited choice in the restaurant

...Yoho is the abbreviation for the 'Youth Hotel' and it's located in Hamburg. I'll admit that when I was told to book it for a visit earlier this week, I did worry that it might be like a youth hostel. Perhaps before I checked out in the morning they would make me clean my room or wash the dishes. Fortunately neither was the case, and despite the strange name, I found a rather charming modern hotel located in a nice old historic building. The main criteria by which they justify the name is that they offer slightly lower prices for guests who are under 26. Sadly nothing I can benefit from any more. It's not - so far as I can tell - in any way linked with the Yo! Sushi brand so that may be a relief to some and a disappointment to others. My Visit I went to the hotel with two colleagues from our Bremen office and we arrived quite...

HAMBURG MARRIOTT HOTEL

Advantages: Lovely hotel, excellent rooms and service
Disadvantages: None really!

...~~~HAMBURG MARRIOTT HOTEL~~~ As well as having stayed at the Renaissance Hotel in Hamburg several times, I have also stayed at the Renaissance sister hotel, the Marriott, located on ABC Strasse in the exclusive shopping and dining part of the city of Hamburg. The hotel is well located and transfer time from the airport (Hamburg) is under 20 minutes or so with taxi fares also being under 20Euros (£13-£15). Just outside o f the hotel you will find a glittering array of upmarket shops and small boutiques and the hotel is located in a very quiet area and all of the rooms are exceptionally quiet. Arriving at the hotel: As you enter the hotel, the lobby is sumptuous and well-kept, and there are always plenty of bellhops to help with your bags. Check-in is always smooth and painless, and there is a good selection of local interest...

Review of Marriott Hamburg Treudelberg, Hamburg

Relax at the Renaissance Hamburg Hotel

Advantages: Great location and friendly welcome
Disadvantages: None

...The Renaissance Hamburg Hotel is part of the worldwide Marriott chain and offers the excellent accommodations that you would expect from Marriott but with the flair that you would normally expect from the Renaissance team. As with other properties in this brand hotels are branded by Renaissance but owned and managed locally adding real local colour to the hotel. Booking: Book via the Marriott website, and they guarantee that you will get their cheapest rates (the best rate is usually from 110 euros (approx £60.00) per night) for a twin/double room. Many rates are available and most options come with or without breakfast. There are single rooms and double rooms (i.e. 1 king bed or two doubles) that would accommodate 2 or 4 respectively. In addition, the corner Junior Suites offer additional space and more often than not...

Review of Renaissance Hamburg Hotel, Hamburg

Wunderbar Hamburg Germany

Advantages: Great lively city; great sights!!
Disadvantages: None really!

...Hamburg Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and has a rich and varied history and in the modern age is still world famous for it's port, tourist attractions and the Beatles in the 1960s as well as one of the recent James Bond films having been set here in the 1990s! I first visited Hamburg when I was six or seven and had family living over there and I am really pleased that I did as otherwise it is certainly one of those cities that you could easily miss and that would be a shame! Hamburg is a great cosmopolitan city that will appeal to old and young alike. Perfect for couples who enjoy fine dining and shopping as well as perfect for families at the fairs and attractions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting there: Flights to Hamburg are relatively frequent. If you live in the North of England like me then direct...

Review of Hamburg (Germany)

Hamburg, Germany: great destination!

Advantages: Tons to do and see!
Disadvantages: None really!

...I APOLOGISE FOR THIS REVIEW AS I HAVE PLACED IT IN THE WRONG CATEGORY BUT HAVE ASKED CIAO TO MOVE IT TO HAMBURG CITY NOT WATER SPORTS. I HOPE YOU WILL FIND IT A USEFUL GUIDE TO THE CITY OF HAMBURG ONCE IT HAS BEEN MOVED FROM THE WATERPSPORTS SECTION Hamburg and the surrounding area. Hamburg is one of my absolute favourite cities to visit in the world and I have visited there just about every year for the last 20 odd years when family of mine moved over there. It is the second largest city in Germany and located in the northern part of Germany. How to get there? Flights leave most UK cities several times a day and the most common airlines that fly are British Airways, British Midland and Lufthansa (the National German Airline). I fly regularly from Manchester to Hamburg using Lufthansa which is a great airline...

Review of Hamburg & surrounding area

Brilliant for a weekend getaway to Hamburg

Advantages: Helpful staff, spacious rooms
Disadvantages: The artist designed room seemed a little dark

...I lived in Hamburg for a few months in 2006 and so I was keen to take my family there for a weekend when the Christmas market was there. After looking at various hotels we decided to stay in the Best Western St Raphael. Location: The hotel is only a few minutes away from the main train station (and U-bahn stops - Hauptbahnhof Nord and Hauptbahnhof Sued) and also the bus station so if you fly into Luebeck then you're only a few minutes from your bus to or from the airport which is especially handy as the flights often arrive or depart early or late at night. The Alster and town centre are only a walk away too! Rooms: The rooms vary in terms of style and size. We booked two rooms and one seemed to have been decorated by a local artist. We were very impressed by the rooms, even down to the radio in the bathroom! Facilities: We used...

HAMBURGER UNION GARRICK STREET LONDON

Advantages: FAST EFFICIENT SERVICE AND GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS
Disadvantages: WOULD PREFER SEATING WITH BACKS RATHER THAN STOOLS

...Whilst on a short break in London last week my family and I were looking for somewhere to eat in the West end and came across HAMBURGER UNION in Garrick Street, Covent Garden. None of us are great fans of burger "joints" but decided that we would give it a try, as from the outside it looked modern and clean and although busy not bursting at the seams as some place are up there. Also it was great to go somewhere "non smoking". On entering it reminded us of restaurants in America, as ,you order everything (food and drinks) at the counter, pay and then proceed into the main eating area and place your order number on the table for the server to see. The seating area was clean and the seating was mainly stool type and tables were of varying sizes so if you were on a long table you could end up with other people. It was bright...

Review of Hamburger Union, London

Hamburg - a city often missed!

Advantages: Easy to reach. Mixed culture
Disadvantages: Need to be relatively open minded

...English! The city is often overlooked by us brits in favour of the likes of Amsterdam. However, for something a little different try Hamburg. Cheap flights are available or you could cruise direct to Hamburg from the port at Harwich on a budget....

Review of Hamburg (Germany)

Hummel! Hummel!

Advantages: Water and ships everywhere!
Disadvantages: The weather is not always nice.

...Last May I stayed in Hamburg for 24 hours, my train arrived at 3 pm and I left the following day at about the same time. Can one get a more than superficial impression of such a big city, the second largest German city (~ 1,8 million inhabitants) after Berlin, in such a short time? I think so, after all tourists are only interested in the city centre, who'd want to visit the suburbs, which are more or less the same everywhere in the world anyway? It may help that this was already my third visit and I?ve developed a kind of ritual at least for the beginning of my trip. I leave my luggage in a locker at the train station, go to the Tourist Information there and buy a Hamburg Card. Last year it cost 8 ?, I cherish it not only for the possibility of saving money on tickets when going hither and thither by U-Bahn, S-Bahn (kind of tubes...

Review of Hamburg (Germany)

Hamburg means nightlife and more

Advantages: Many young and nice people
Disadvantages: no one

...Hello again ! I know what I´m writing about, cause I´m a real "Hamburger" Girl. This city is a city one must have seen ! The town hall called "Rathhaus", the Michel (the biggest church in Hamburg), the legendary "Reeperbahn" are all stations of a sightseeing tour. I think all of you know the Reeperbahn. Maybe you know it as THE street of sex in Hamburg. But thats not right. Here are also many clubs and they are great. Here is music for everyone. Whatever you what to hear in Hamburg is the right club, like 2-step(which is very successful at the moment), techno, hiphop or just pop. But Hamburg has another site ! In Hamburg yoú will find the Alster. I´m not sure if it´s a river or not. We also have great shopping miles. For example in the central of the city. The Mönkebergstraße and the Gänsemarkt are the most visited shopping miles...
