GINN Hotel Hamburg Elbspeicher, Hamburg

Bad

Good

Liked: The location by the water was really nice. The staff was very helpful. The entire hotel was clean and pleasant. The food in the restaurant was very good. So I can highly recommend this hotel, but make sure you get a room with a view of the water and on the side of the building away from the road.
Disliked: I got a room next to the main road, and since the windows are very thin, I could hear every single passing car. I was given four pairs of earplugs, and I couldn’t get through the second night without them. The noise from the road was really loud and went on nearly all night.The second somewhat unpleasant experience was parking at the hotel, which is very challenging for SUV vehicles. (However, the hotel does warn about this, so it didn’t come as a surprise to me.) You have to move two cars on dollies just to have a chance to park. On the other hand, there’s another outdoor parking lot nearby, though the staff there didn’t speak English. (This second parking lot is not part of the hotel.)

Very good

It was perfect for our...

Liked: Our room had a perfect view of the Elbe and the harbor.

Very good

Liked: Technically very good, very good light switches and lamps set up, warm water immediately, TV, etc. General stylish design of lobby, corridors, room. Location on the river, not far from center, 20-30 minutes of nice walk.
Disliked: A bit noisy water drain system, a bit small room. Not critical.But critical: very poor wifi in room and no mobile data reception (2nd floor). Had to go to lobby to phone by mobile data, because wifi is bad there too.

Passable

Liked: Very good breakfast and a very nice view over the harbour.The access to the room with pincode was a good experience.Nice room with minibar and boiler.
Disliked: When arriving no one was in the reception (evening) Until someone noticed us... Advertised parking, but there was no parking available under or next to hotel. Had to use parking house away from Hotel. The Hotel in general didn't feel like a 4 star hotel except the nice view from the restaurant on top and the good breakfast.
