🔊 Noise notes

Street noise from Budapester Straße, a busy street in Hamburg, may be audible in lower floor rooms. Additionally, the service entrance near the lift on lower floors might generate some noise.

Insider tips

Request a room with a keycard-operated safe for added security. Be aware that the hotel's maximum height (6 floors) is relatively low, so higher floors may have a more vertical layout, potentially affecting room size and amenities.

How to request your preferred room:

  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
