Hotel Mercedes Hamburg

Small hotel with a good location, nice breakfast & helpful staff.

Beware there is no lift from ground to first floor. Rooms a little dated but clean.

Cost

The saying goes that "you get what you pay for". This often implies that if you pay little for something it is of sub standard. In the case of this Hotel paying little simply means you get the basics. So if a basic, clean room with a basic breakfast in a convenient part of town for a basic price is what you are looking for the I would recomend the hotel Mercedes. Personally I wont be returning to the hotel however, largely becasue I wont be returning to Hamburg. If you are thinking of a city break with the family this is probably neither the city nor the hotel for you. Hamburg is very seedy. there are maybe a couple of areas that arent overrun with prostitution, drinking and drugs but not enough to warrent a holiday.

The location is good with respect to shopping. There is a underground carpark to the hotel just 50 meters away.

The rooms are very small and the hotel is very loud. It is quite obvious this is not a newly build resort.

Location central, staff helpful

Breakfast was great. 5 min. walk to the train station.

The WLAN does not work on the top floor, and I was not reimbursed, I was told that I could sit in the breakfast area. Also the hotel is on the sex shop strip - fairly uncomfortable street to walk down as a woman.
