Altan Hotel

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : shower works great, lots of restaurants and bars near by.
  : No air con, no lift, questionable location, pillows not pillows, curtains did not keep out light so woken up at 4:30am with sun coming up.

  : Pretty well situated in the area
  : We got a very compact room on the fourth floor (under the roof) without any moving possibilities at all. There where no elevator. The whole place stank from bad cleaning liquid. The pictures on the site in Booking.com werent acquisit. For example the Reception pictured turned out to be a hole in the Wall and the parking possibilities where poor.

  : Good shower pressure. Pleasant staff. It was cheap. The room itself was value for money.
  : The location was VERY noisy. Noisy People outside the windows until 2 -3 am, and traffic noise started really early .. Summer so it was too warm to close windows to reduce outside noise. No air-conditioning or fans to help with hot and stuffiness when windows closed.

  : It's a more minimalistic type of hotel. There's a place to sleep, a small bathroom and that's it. Checking in was quickly done, checking out was "just leave the keys in the room". I went to a convention so all i needed was a place to sleep for a few hours and have a shower. That's what i got - nothing more, nothing less. The price is perfectly reasonable for the room given.

Fair

  : It was a nice price and a nice part of Hamburg
  : that it wasnt really properly cleaned, the beds Where clean and most of the bad as Well but as on the photos, some areas werent cleaned since weeks if not months, the beds arent comfy as Well

  : The bathroom was spacious, the room was a good size.
  : The pictures are nothing like the hotel that is advertised. There is no large sign of hotel or reception like it shows, most of the photos were taken 6 years ago and it looks like they have sold it to a noodle bar. Basically you go what is like a doorway, in corridor is a window where the guy didn't understand English, kept saying we had to pay even although I had paid before arriving. I stood my ground and kept showing him the booking.com page which showed i had paid, after what seemed like an eternity and him saying we still had to pay a few times to us he finally found it on his computer, seemed a chancer to me. The same key worked front door and our room which was 3 flights up. Only 1 curtain on each window. Found curtains in a unit in room where my husband stood on a chair to put them up so we could close curtains and not see daylight. It was a glorified hostel as it had its on bathroom. No safe to leave Passports etc so had to carry all valuables around. A very noisy area full of broken glass in the mornings, sirens constantly going and alot of homeless people around. Would not stay here again.
