Garden Hotels, Hamburg

Advantages: Easy to reach. Mixed culture
Disadvantages: Need to be relatively open minded

...in English! The city is often overlooked by us brits in favour of the likes of Amsterdam. However, for something a little different try Hamburg. Cheap flights are available or you could cruise direct to Hamburg from the port at Harwich on a budget.... Read review

Advantages: Close to central Hamburg
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest of places to stay!!

...Wow!! This is one hell of a classy hotel!! From the first moment that you step into the elegant surroundings of the plush reception area - you just know that this place oozes quality. There is none of your old world charm here, just modern fixtures and fittings with all the bells and whistles that you would expect from a high class hotel. The location is great, near to the hustle and bustle of central Hamburg (if it's a quiet break you are after - forget it) so great for the party animals amongst you. As mentioned in the pros and cons this isnt the cheapest of hotels, but it does provide you with one hell of a luxurious break. Book a holiday here - you wont be disappointed!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!... Read review

Advantages: Great lively city; great sights!!

...youth hostels and budget hotels to luxury chains. I would definitely try and stay as close to the centre of Hamburg as you can do where you will find great value hotels from chains such as SAS, Marriott and Renaissance. I normally stay at the Marriott or Renaissance hotels and you can pick up an internet deal for around £60 for a double room which is great value and both hotels are located right in the heart of city, less than five minutes walk from Jungfernstieg and the Alster. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What to do: Here are a few of my favourite things to do in Hamburg: Take a walk around the inner Alster Lake. If it is sunny enjoy an ice cream, from a vendor and if not try to get a window table at the Alstertor Cafe. After that go on an hour long cruise along the Alster and soak up the atmosphere and see where all the rich Hamburgers live... Read review
