Staff was very friendly. Needed an early check-in and wad able to get it for an additional cost (worth it). View and the room was great! Only thing that was tough to figure out was the AC unit. Location of the hotel was great. Once of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at and would stay here again.

This hotel was a lovely option near the river. There are loads of dining and drinking options nearby. The room was lovely and the view, amazing! We didn't opt for breakfast but the sushi made to order was outstanding!!! The roof top bar on level 20 is wonderful for an evening cocktail and hotel guests are given a priority are.

Lovely hotels with wonderful rooms and all the basic amenities. Would recommend staying as long as you like exercise because the key cards demagnetize if you look at them wrong — they must be praised and cajoled and need never be near anything that lets off the slightest electronic signal or you’ll be back downstairs to rekey the card yet again — 3 night stay and I think I had to do it about 8 times this trip. Staff is wonderful and lovely and the sushi is divine

The architecture of the building is very beautiful, the room itself is small considering the price of stay. You are only paying for the view from your room and some freebies provided. For a 4 star hotel, the service I experienced was poor. I requested room service and was promised that they would arrive at a specified time, however they did not arrive. The toilet in my room was clogged and I was not able to use this during my stay.

The property is located near the port however directly behind the hotel is the St Pauli area which is what we would consider the red light area. A lot of strip shows and appeared to be girls working on the side street. Probably not a family area. In saying that it was close to the Beatles walking tours and close walking distance down to pier and back into the city centre. The hotel was good expensive for what we got and the air conditioning not working so room was 26 degrees and it was only 28 degrees outside so was not comfortable coming in from the heat. We did eventually get moved to another room which the air conditioning was set to 23 degrees so better. The cocktail bar on 20th floor had a nice view over the port at night.
