Fantastic Hotel in Hamburg's east. From the the metro station Berliner Tor it's a five minute walk…read more The hotel is stylish but not over the top. It has a great and friendly atmosphere were you'll feel at home immediately. The rooms are simple but colorful, choose from a dozend colors during check-in. They are quiet because of the thick walls and doors but get a little warm in the summer due to the lack of a/c. Breakfast (7 EUR) is also great, you'll get a great choice, good coffee and the buffet is refilled constantly. Two computers provide free internet access, free WiFi is available, too. They also rent bikes to their guests (4 EUR a day) which is a good choice as Hamburg has many bikeways throughout the city. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

An industrial hostel is what I would call it. The place is huge…read more You have to pay for everything: breakfast, bed linens, towels. The hostel has no personal touch and is stripped of all personality. It feels sterile and cold; it's not a welcoming place. My favorite hostels are places where you get to meet and talk to other people travelling, in a safe and relaxed environment. This place is the opposite, and the sense of "temporary" is really breathing down your neck never letting you feel at home. The place has a big bar, paid coffee machines, an ATM, a big seating area (near the bar). But I don't really care about all of that. The place is just fine if you wanna have a place to sleep (which is what I needed), but comparing to other hostels - the experience is lacking, which why I give 3 stars.

I had thought to give this place two stars, but my wife insisted I give it only 1. ;)…read more Here's the deal: We were looking for a cheap place to stay in Hamburg on a family vacation since we weren't going to spend a lot of time in the room anyway. The reviews I've read all looked decent so we booked here. Let me say up front that the room itself was clean and we had no major complaints about it. What killed it for us was the "hostel" aspect. I didn't really know what to expect since it's also listed as a "hotel", but it is a major problem if you're not a 20-something there to party hard. Take these things into consideration: 1) This place is packed with young people up for a weekend of partying. 2) If you end up with your windows facing away from the wind and have a room on the upper stories, you're going to sweat. You can only crack the windows, and airflow sucks. There is NO AIR CONDITIONING. Cracking your window only makes a slight difference. But if you crack your window... 3) You will be miserable from the noise. Our room was on the 8th floor, and there's a bar on the 9th floor roof which was partying hard until 3 in the morning. You have a choice between not getting any sleep due to the noise or sweating to death. 4) So you think that you can get some sleep after the party on the 9th floor shuts down? WRONG. The noise from drunks at street-level will keep the noise going until 6 or 7 in the morning. 5) Did I mention we were on the 8th floor? There are TWO elevators for a hotel that is huge and packed with people. 6) Parking is not provided and you'll have to find a place somewhere, probably by a paid parking meter. A couple of mitigating things are that the location is good with easy access to the U/S Bahn and the personnel is friendly.

The worst thing about Mac City is its name. I didn't want to book accommodation; because the name…read morewas sketchy to me. But I got off the Berliner Tor underground train station elevator at street level for something else, and there I saw the words Mac City on the upstairs windows. So I decided to go in and up and see what it was like. There I met Mr Cheng at the consierge desk. He's very nice. He's part owner. The place had a family feel and looked good for handicapped and had a kitchen where some people use the equipment and some bring their own pot, blender and dish etc. I've stayed at Mac City in three different rooms, two stays. I can't say enough about them, except try it yourself if you're looking for low cost accommodations in Hamburg. Of course be aware, as maybe anyone is staying in such a reasonable place. I do definitely recommend this establishment, for youths, workers, families, students and anyone else who wants easy transportation, easy access to shopping etc. They have parking behind the building too, with an entrance directly into their building (of course there's a fee to park but this is a major city so you're very lucky to be able to park by your place). A couple of their rooms also have a mini-fridge, so see if that's available, if you don't want to come out of the room to eat or you need to chill medication or your jar of bee pollen etc. The mattresses are nice, as are the pillows and quilts, the bedsheets are crisp and clean (and don't smell like detergent nor any other smell), radiators not a speck of dust, clean thick dark curtains in the rooms' windows, windows open nicely for the breeze and don't you even think of smoking! As they will charge you a 200,00EUR fine for one puff! I like that. I like places that smell deeply clean. And if you want to keep something super safe, everyone gets there own keyed locker to use, return the key the day you check out. Sorry no pics, as i'm writing from the room, using my laptop. The only cam I have with me is a little difficult (I'm used to and miss my mobile phone). Maybe i'll buy another at Media Markt Hamburg, it's nearby and sells you what you need, you can even use your PayPal card.

The male bathroom looks like a swimming pool. Clearly the hostel staff doesn't even bother caring…read moreabout it. Also, I've been to a number of hostels in Europe through the past 6 years, and this was the only one that allowed me to tell you this litte story: we left our Go Pro batteries charging during an afternoon, and we left the hostel to go on the city tours and attractions we planned to go. Hostel staff came to clean the room, and removed the charger from the plug! So, when we've arrived back, the charger was out of the plug, and the batteries were not sufficiently charged at all. This was simply ridiculous coming from the hostel staff. If this is the kind of measure they take to save money, I'm pretty sure this already tells any of you about what to expect from the rest of this low end hostel.

You just have to take some stairs from the Landungsbrücken subway station. Their pricing is fair. You don't need any cash, except for the lockers and the bar. Dinner is extra, but if you book it in advance, it's way cheaper. And it's quite good for the price. It's also a very clean hostel.
