Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Holiday Inn Hamburg HafenCity is a solid stay overall. Parking is available on site for a fee, (like around 30 Euro) which made arrival easy, especially in this part of Hamburg. The room was adequate, clean, and comfortable enough for a city stay. Nothing overly fancy, but it did the job well. The gym was also better than expected for a hotel fitness room: a few dumbbells, two treadmills, a rower, bike, and elliptical, enough to stay on track while traveling. For us the real standout was breakfast. Clear 5/5 there. Large spread, plenty of options, fresh, tasty, and actually worth taking the time for before heading out into the city. Overall, a good hotel experience with a few strong points, especially breakfast and convenience. Can recommend.”
“OMG guys! They have decent sized plates at breakfast! I feel every hotel has plates smaller than the spread of my hand but they have real plates! Other than that, friendly staff, clean newly renovated room, and nicer than my expectations from this brand. But out of everything, it's the plates that got me to write a review.”
“A really lovely hotel, best Holiday Inn I have stayed in. Great location near an underground station with easy access to all areas. All the staff were really lovely with great attention to detail, especially the restaurant manager Tobias. Fantastic breakfast and a lovely calm atmosphere.”
