The rooms are clean and well laid out. We've booked this hotel three times already and it never disappoints. Lovely, breakfast included in the price with lots on offer! Easy to get into the city by train.
Hotel staff helped me with surprise birthday decorations for my partner, which was very thoughtful in the way it was decorated. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice big room, but the mattress was a bit hard for my taste. Nice and quiet, beautiful atmosphere and interior, and the breakfast is also worth coming back for! We went by U-Bahn to the city centre which is fast and easy, so perfect location if you come by car.

Cold and loud
It was cold in the room and there was no possibility to heat up. My room was in the basement floor and outside the window was a box and when it was raining it felt like someone was playing the drums next to your window, especially at night. Breakfast was good.

Nice room. It's an interesting hotel.
We stayed a few years ago and did feel breakfast not as exciting as it was.
Pancakes not kept warm and poor selection of bread. Only one sweet item which was a pain au Chocolat which not everyone likes. Maybe some small muffins would be good.
The shower leaked at sides and the big shower head needs cleaning as water not coming out properly. Also made a very loud noise. A kettle or coffee maker would be nice .
Close to underground

Lovely hotel
1st time visiting Hamburg and loved the hotel. Easy access to the city centre via the underground. The hotel was possibly one of my favourite hotels I have ever stayed in. We stayed in room 434 which was really quite

As usual, great stay
My second time at the hotel and as always, everything was excellent. Both the service and the reception (as usual, Maria was very helpful). If we return to Hamburg, Hotel Volksschule will be our hotel of reference.

Ok hotel - fair Price
Nice hotel close to the Office - no aircon - a bit problematic with +30.
