The hotel is situated conveniently next to Altona train station, making it easy to navigate Hamburg. The rooms are small yet comfortable and very clean, which is great for budget-conscious travelers. However, the lack of an elevator can be a hassle, especially with heavy luggage, and the noise from the corridor can be disruptive at times. Overall, it's a decent choice for a short stay at a reasonable price.

I had a pleasant five-night stay at Central Hotel in Hamburg. The hotel was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere, with spacious rooms and a great shower. The location in Altona was perfect for exploring the city with easy access to transport. However, some amenities could be improved, and I noticed a lack of formal dining options in the immediate area. Overall, it was a great value for money and I would recommend it for travelers to Hamburg.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which was reasonably priced and conveniently located near the Altona train station and some great restaurants.

The hotel was clean and quiet, perfect for a good night's rest. Located right next to Hamburg Altona train station, it was a bit far from the city center, but I really enjoyed the lively St. Pauli district nearby. The breakfast was a steal at 4 euros with unlimited coffee, although I noticed the lack of shampoo in the bathroom. Overall, it's a great budget option if you're okay with some dated features.

This hotel is a decent choice for budget travelers who need a place to sleep. The location is convenient, being very close to Altona station, but the lack of amenities makes it unsuitable for relaxing stays. The rooms are clean, albeit small and a bit chilly, and the service is mostly handled at the nearby reception. If you're just passing through, it offers reasonable value for the price.
