Not recommended without a strong person to help.
The room was close to the main train station and was clean and sufficient. That was what we needed.
However, there was no elevator to the floor where rooms could be accessed. We had to carry two large, heavy suitcases up a very long, narrow staircase, and back down.

The hotel is old and run down, but it's right next to the train station. The staff are super friendly. The street outside the hotel is full of broken bottles and crazy people shouting until after midnight.

Good value for money
I stayed one night and have to say it is good value for money. Even if the area it is located in might appear a bit dodgy, it is very central.
I would stay here again.

Nice hotel near the station.
Stayed in Hamburg for a football weekend to go to a couple of matches. We hired a triple room which was perfect for our needs. Great clean hotel, easy to find in a central location a few minutes walk from the station.
Area was OK but a lot of homeless people wandering about but there didn't hassle us, may put families off though.
All in all a great find and will be staying here again on our next football trip.

I liked the location being close to the Hauptbahnhof and I liked how clean and quiet the room was. The staff were friendly and receptive to questions we had. The only qualm would be that the neighbourhood was a bit rough at night.

Very unsafe area, don't go there.
The staff isn't very friendly, the breakfast is overpriced, some rooms are OK, but small, others very noisy or smelly.
You are better off buying a Deutschlandticket and staying in Lubeck or Bremen.

Worst place.
The street where the hotel was was slum. It was filled with homeless people and junkies. Pictures of the hotel is lying. There was no safe parking of the car. Maybe the worst street in Hamburg. The hotel should not be on hotels.com.

Terrible hotel
This is a terrible hotel. No air conditioning and no elevator until you climb steep steps past the second floor. Bathroom is tiny. Carpeting is old.

Negative: bad neighborhood, no warm water, room had a lingering smell of cigarette smoke, no closed off storage closet or similar for luggage - it was just openly placed in the breakfast area (better to pay to leave your luggage with DB's luggage service at central station).
Positive: nice staff and close to the central station.

The most concerning thing was the feel of the neighborhood. I knew that it would be shady when booking near the HBh, but it and it was pretty sketching coming home at night. Lots of men lingering on the streets gawking at me and my teenage daughters.

It looks like the original establishment has been expanded, which was done very nicely. I like the 24h reception that makes you feel safe despite the unsafe feeling that I had walking in the street itself. Very conveniently located near the Hamburg Central station.
