acora Hamburg City Apart Living the City

"Really would not recommend this to anyone. We booked it purely for location as we needed to be at the train station at 6.45 the following morning and it's practically across the road. The area of these apartments is horrific, really rough. The streets are covered in litter and broken glass, there are very drunk and aggressive homeless people lying on pavements and screaming at police, we saw 5 police attempt to move someone at the end of the street at 6.30am as we left and he threw a bottle at them. Outside the main door to the apartments it is a meeting point for druggies and gangs. We arrived at 3.30pm and they were sat on the steps to enter and would not move. Eventually we navigated our way around them but when we came back out we had to literally climb over them as they made comments to us that I didnt understand but were clearly aggressive. Be warned - THIS IS LITERALLY ON THE DOORSTEP TO YOUR ACCOMMODATION. I have seen other reviews say the same thing. There is no staff or security presence on the premises. We did not feel safe all night. At 1am we were woken by a group of women screaming and shouting and sounding some sort of siren repeatedly. It sounded like it was right outside our window. The room itself is very dated, the safe would not work, the shower gel dispenser fell off the wall, the shower flooded the bathroom because the shower curtain blocks the plug. Our two single beds were pushed next to each other so we pulled them apart to sleep separately (I was with my brother) and it revealed crisps and some crackers all over the floor that a previous guest had obviously spilt in bed but the room had clearly not been cleaned properly. It's a dive and the area is appalling."

"Very spacious and comfortable apartment in an old building close to the main railway station. Breakfast available in the nearby Novum hotel just around the corner. Affordable price also."

"The place itself is ok. It's a bit worn out but clean. Breakfast is not worth the price. It's close to the central station and transport in general which is nice. However, the area is shady and I would not reccommend families to stay here. Too many people living on the street with mental issues and drug issues. We stayed wih our kids here and it did not really feel safe."
