SIR Nikolai

"I just had a comfortable two-night stay at The Nikolai Hamburg. The hotel is a short taxi ride from the train station. It’s situated in a convenient spot. From the Nikolai, I could walk to Elbphilharmonie, some of the major attractions. In fact I walked around the whole time except when getting to/from train station. The guest room is well designed, cosy, with good amenities, but it’s a bit small for me. My room looked out to an internal courtyard. No views to shout about (well, except for looking into other rooms windows) but generally quiet. Breakfast has a modest selection but sufficient for me. The breakfast restaurant looks out to a canal and waterway, which gives a calming effect in the morning. Staff are friendly and approachable. I will recommend the Nikolai Hamburg."

"Very nice design hotel with perfect interior decisions. Cozy and with good location. Tasty breakfast."

"This was a little more 'up market' compared to where I usually stay, but it was worth the extra money. There was an excellent breakfast with an overwhelming choice of quality items. Excellent coffee and tea. I also used the bar in the evenings, where they did a good vodka martini and the staff were very friendly and polite. The location is perfect for getting around on foot. I was there primarily for the opera, which was a 20 minute walk. As the weather was nice, it was pleasant to walk there and back, however the U-bahn is also quite near for getting around and to the airport. The hotel is very tastefully designed, with quality furnishings and interesting details. It is quiet and comfortable with very efficient and polite staff. I have already booked to stay again!"
