25hours Hotel HafenCity is bold, hype, and effortlessly welcoming. Staff are truly friendly and amazing! With its vibrant interiors, imaginative design, and thoughtful details, it ranks among Hamburg’s most stylish destinations for both romantic stays and professional business meetings. It's a very convenient and great place to stay in Hamburg. Special mention to the fantastic breakfast.

This was the second stay at this hotel, the first was May 2024 and we came back as we loved Hamburg and this hotel. They were building the new Westfield next to the hotel last year so it was nice to be back and see it fully open. Good selection of the usual clothes shops and some restaurants. This hotel is a few minutes walks from U4 Überseequartier station which makes travelling easy, although it is only a 15 minute walk to the City Centre. The hotel has a restaurant with breakfast and dinner as well as a gift shop selling a range of gifts. The rooms are quite retro and funky. VHS tapes and player, and 12” record player. There is a library in the hotel where you can get others VHS tapes and 12” records. Mini bar with soft drinks and some snacks. The place is spotless! So clean and the cleaners do a fabulous job here. Would recommend!

Great location with much of historic central Hamburg in walking distance and the rest easily accessible from the nearby U-Bahn station, frequent buses, and harbour ferry services. The room decor is very much on a port theme with lots of nice touches, but a few odd omissions - only one side of the bed has a reading lamp, there’s only space to hang one towel in the bathroom, and despite there being a fridge, there’s no tea/coffee making facilities. I appreciated the complimentary beers provided, but in the morning I’m looking for a cuppa not a beer!

I enjoyed a very nice overnight stay at this hotel for business. The staff were very friendly and efficient, the room was a good size. The free items in the fridge were very welcome, but it was a big surprise to see no coffee making facilities. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was excellent, highly recommended. I had breakfast in the same dining room and it was quite disappointing. The selection was very average, a little mean perhaps and there are not enough normal tables and chairs and so I ended up sitting at a low coffee table. Not at all suitable for eating a meal at. So breakfast was not to be recommended. Very nice and quirky hotel, not cheap for what you are getting but the experience was good overall.

Good rooms and nice industrial design. Location is a plus. It is (too) busy during breakfast. Also the parking may be hard to find (and many for which the hotel offers no discount are easier found so you end up paying more). Close enough to the city center.

Very stylish hotel in Hafencity, cool lactation. Amazingly decorated rooms. I paid 225 Euro for one night. What really turned me off, the breakfast is an additional 26 Euros. That feels like a ripoff. There are better high value for money alternatives than 25 Hours nearby. Will not return.

A perfectly pleasant stay all round. The digs are fantastic and on point, with incredible staff and excellent service. No request was too much. Sweets too, come on what is not to love about this refreshing take on home away from home hotel! Thank you 25hours, I shall be back

A bit quirky. Designed for the younger tourist but not the business traveler. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. the room had lots of fun features. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and functional. The front desk was efficient and helpful.

Y'know, no complaints, really. Comfortable enough room for a fair price. But 25 Hours Hotels don't stop there, oh no! They try to make you LIKE them, like, REALLY LIKE them. Every corner you turn slaps you with another piece of whimsy, almost always in English. Words everywhere on walls, many forming putative jokes. Instead of a simple DND/Please-Clean-My-Room sign, a 25 page flip-book from which you can choose a snarky message to send to housekeeping. Desks like steamer trunks. Wallpaper that looks like newspaper clippings, except the clippings are apparently Hamburg in-jokes. All annoying, but acceptable. What was unacceptable was staff who simply didn't pay attention to my requests for things as simple as a bill made out to the normal German corporate standard for tax invoices, and instructions for taxis--read Colleen C.'s review for another example. The place is so busy being bubbly and hip that it sometimes forgot to actually cover the basics.

Service is slow if you get any service at all. Do not book a conference here as you'll waste a lot of time going down to eat in the restaurant because they won't bring food to your meeting room. Probably a good hotel for hipsters but not business people.

Let's just make it 26 hours, shall we? 25 hours for the hotel name. +1 hour to actually get a room. (IN A DIFFERENT HOTEL) Travel weary after a long day of flying, working and dining -- I rolled up to the trendy 25hours hotel ready for some sleeping. Instead, I was met with a crowded lobby full of sports enthusiasts (near midnight) and a somewhat unapologetic reception guy telling me they'd been overbooked. WHAT? Let's pause here for a moment -- I do not understand a hotel being overbooked. The number of rooms is static, not variable. Every night they have the same number. They should book this number of guests, no? The reception guy assured me this happens "very often" but in all my travels all over the place the past 7 years, this has not happened to me one time. However, I get it. Things happen. He told me that they'd pay for my transport to the other hotel and quickly ushered me out to a taxi and gave me a voucher for it. They'd rebook me to the new hotel for my stay. Ok, fine. Let us get on with the show, my sleep time was becoming shorter and shorter. Please keep in mind at no point did he write down the name of the new hotel, or direct the taxi driver or really help me with anything at all. For a hotel that mega-f'ed up on obverbooking, I'd expect that they'd at least treat this major inconvenience with some grace. Can you see where this is going? My taxi driver, who I assumed had been given proper directions to where ever I was to be sleeping that evening -- drove me over to the 25 hours Altona. Which seemed sensible I'd be sent to their other property. But in fact, after driving 15 minutes and showing up at reception -- they were also overbooked and I was mistakenly driven there by the unsuspecting taxi driver who had not been given directions. Oy vey, 25 hours. Seriously. So now here I am, past midnight at the second hotel of the evening -- with no room at the Inn. Is this a christmas story? I need a manger and a donkey, I don't even care at this point I just want to sleep. Luckily my taxi driver had to come back in after she dropped me because the voucher hadn't covered the whole journey and she needed some cash. So after forking over 10 euros of my own money to cover the errant journey, I hopped back in the car with her (and another subpar voucher) to go BACK to Hafencity to check into the Hotel Ameron, the correct hotel. I gave her the voucher (15 euro) plus some more of my money to cover the joyride around Hamburg and prayed that this was actually the place I might sleep. And it was. It's a fine hotel and very nice so that's not really the issue. The 1 star for 25 hours is based on their extremely poor communication, customer service and for overbooking me in the first place. How about this? If someone hasn't checked in yet -- maybe CALL THEM and save them the trouble? Or just don't take too many bookings? Or if you do perhaps handle it like professionals and not like some teenagers at their first job. Not impressed.

Not overpriced, simple, clean and quiet. i stay here every time I am on business in Hamburg with my colleagues since it is only a 2 block walk to our office in Hafin City. Friendly but unfortunately if you fly from the States for a Monday meeting, no rooms so you will have to wait until people checkout and staff cleans rooms. Rooms has everything you need for sleep and work at a good price per night. Breakfast is very nice as well.

Pretty good, dogg, pretty good! I didn't love Hamburg, (came during a heat wave) but the 25 Hours was an awesome place to come home to. Check-in was a breeze, there is free wifi that actually works, and the rooms have air conditioning. So I can't really complain because it met my most important criteria. If every hotel in the world did this, the world would be a way better place! The house is full of artifacts and objects and is very... designed. There is a lot of English writing everywhere, sometimes with some funny mis-spellings. Sometimes all the English writing can get a little didactic. The soap in the shower says "STOP RUNNING THE WATER WHILE USING ME". Ummm, it's like 95 degrees out and it took me like 8 hours to get here, y'all cool if I just take a shower? Coo'? We good? I don't know. I also really don't love rules - there are enough in Germany! But I think it is meant to be funny. The restaurant is great. I would definitely send friends here and would definitely come back!

Chose this one on a whim and some research on reasonably priced non-blah accommodations in HH for a quick one-night visit. Mid-tier room was spacious and well-equipped - the nautical motif suits the refurbished harbor locale quite well. Staff was very friendly and efficient, restaurant was a great option for drinks, lunch and breakfast (had dinner somewhere else). Ample lounges and meeting spaces (one in a converted freight container...), a funky gift shop, quite cool. Walking distance to Landungsbrücken and Portuguese Quarter, plenty of additional dining alternatives there, and the (safe) walk through the refurbished harbor/wharehouse area is quite spectacular if you are into architecture. Only downside is that the location is in a still-growing re-development area, so we encountered some construction noise, and it remains to be seen how long you still can look at cruise ships in the adjacent berths.
