Hotel Bei der Esplanade

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel bei der Esplanade in Hamburg. The room was basic but clean, comfortable, and as shown in the photos and description. The location is excellent. Stephansplatz subway station is just around the corner, making it easy to explore the city. The CCH Congress Centre, the main train station, and a beautiful nearby park are all within walking distance, which was very convenient. Overall, this hotel offers good value and a comfortable stay in a central, well-connected location.

The hotel manager is a true professional. He manages situations, not resolves conflicts. For him, guest is guest, isn't just numbers, he creates every opportunity to make you feel at home. Was already 2 times, would like to stay only there: 1. Center (location), 2.Manager (smart, intelligent, real professional of his job), 3. White linens, clean rooms, 4. Historical building with vintage atmosphere, wood doors in Grand Budapest hotel styled, corridors with carpets etc etc. (Wes Anderson you know what I mean).

I chose this hotel because of its convenient location. Location couldn't be better and every other option around it was much more expensive. Of course, you get what you pay for. Room is very very basic and has not been renovated for a long time. It was clean though. Another problem is the high temperature in the room. You have to open the window, otherwise it's unbearably hot. It's definitely not a place for romance, but I was travelling solo in that case and location was more important than facilities and ambience.
