Hotel Zum Zeppelin

Location, if you don't mind traffic noise it was a 40 minute bus ride (No 5 bus) into central Hamburg. The hotel is also conveniently just off one of the major motorways so getting back on road was relatively easy.

This hotel is either side of a 4 lane road of traffic, with constant traffic. Clearly close to a fire station because not an hour went by without fire engines steaming past our windows. We were in the building across the road from the main hotel opening the windows meant we were bombarded with road noise. Unfortunately guests downstairs insisted on using front staircase for a smoking hangout which meant when we opened windows (to stop us passing out from extreme heat) the over powering stench of smoke prevailed. Hotel could provide a smoking area to avoid this, or at least designate communal staircase as non'smoking. The "apartment " was for 4 people but had 1 x plate, 1 x side plate, 1 bowl, 1 x salad bowl. 3 coffee pods, 2 tiny spoons, 2 forks and 4 knives. Not great if you were hoping to save money and eat in your room. Which is also a shame, as there is a Lidl less than 500m from hotel as well as a number of takeaways! There was only a tiny fridge (beer size) and a sink/cabinet. Nothing to cook or reheat food on/with, not even a toaster. We left request for room to be cleaned, and beds were remade, however they did not remove rubbish (empty pizza boxes on top of rubbish)! Curtains in main room don't block wrap round windows and are affixed at a distance to allow you to tilt windows for air. Really good for air, not so great for 5am sunshine!!
