MEININGER Hotel Hamburg City Center

I like Meininger because it has a good price-quality ratio. The rooms are nice and have all the necessary equipment. The reception is friendly and very helpful (I forgot my charging cable and they lent me one). The only problem this February (the same that I experienced two years ago here) is that my single room is rather cold, I cover myself with two blankets and put a headscarf one when I sleep. I know that I need to bring enough warm clothes to stay in the room. But I still booked Meininger again because of its competitiveness in other respects.

One of the cleanest dorms I have ever stayed in! You can tell the dorms are part of a well run hotel. I only found out when I left that there was a kitchen though (apparently?), would be great if guests, especially of dorms, would be advised of this. However, if you're looking for a place to meet people, I'd not recommend - it very much is a hotel. The lobby is nice but it seems to be people on laptops and having calls mostly, or just chilling (at least when I was there). So not a social vibe but a very clean and reliable place! Love that the rooms had a separate shower and toilet (both spotless) The dorm room was spacious and spotless, but would be great if the beds had curtains for some privacy and protection from people's torches and night lights.

This is my second time visiting this place. I work in Hamburg but live in NRW, so whenever I need to come here, I look for an affordable place to stay. While it’s not the cheapest option—for example, the women’s dormitory costs €22 per night—it’s definitely worth it. The room is cozy, and it includes a washroom and shower. Since I’m sharing the space with another guest, I won’t take pictures, but I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Hello Meininger stuff. My name is Ani G.. This was the second time I have been staying in your hotel. Thank you for hospitality. I felt very comfortable in your hotel. I appreciate the kitchen and the opportunity we had to cook and do our laundry there. I have a little request though. I forgot my glasses at 616 room. Please, if you find it, keep it. I am going to visit Hamburg after several months this year and would prefer to stay in Meininger again. It would be great if you keep and return it next time to me.

This is a great place with kind staff, plenty of tables to relax and plan your day. It's very family friendly, without it feeling like it's being overrun by kids. It's very close to a major subway, bus, and train station, but is a good hike to the old city center of Hamburg (@45 minutes). Although, it's a nice walk that takes you the whole way through the St. Pauli neighborhood (Red Light District). Didn't walk there at night, but was definitely safe and filled with families during daylight hours.

A luxurious stay with breathtaking views of the city skyline. The rooms are spacious and elegantly designed, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel pampered.

First, I stayed at Meininger in Cologne. After my visit to Cologne, when I traveled to Hamburg, I decided to stay at Meininger again. I really enjoyed my stay there. The lobby had a cozy interior design, there was a nice kitchen where guests could cook their own meals and play games, and the price was very affordable. What I especially liked was that they sometimes provided free croissants in the kitchen for guests. I stayed in a female dormitory, which was very spacious, bright, and exceptionally clean. It was truly comfortable. Moreover, for me, the most important thing is the employees—their smiling faces and helpful approach made a big difference. I think when I visit Hamburg again, I will definitely stay at Meininger once more.

Good stay and clean rooms. Excellent reception service. However, we were not happy with your hotel’s payment procedure. We wanted to pay in cash but your hotel saya it accepts card payments only, which made us rather disappointed. Our overall experience was really good, except payment. Vielen danke.

This is my first time staying at a Hostel. The Meiniger is very clean and is centrally located in Altona. The subway is in walking distance so is a grocery store. The room itself has very few amenities. The bathroom has soap and body wash but no shampoo, mouthwash or body lotion. And wash rags seems to be a luxury. Parking costs an additional $12.50 per day and breakfast another $6.50. A two nights stay with parking cost us around $300. Considering that we can stay at a Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn in big cities such as Dallas or Fort Worth I think that this Hostel is pricey.

This is by far one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Staff and arrangements are organized. The dorms are modern and well designed. It's location near Altona Bahnhof is convenient and within a few stops of charming neighborhoods of Sternschanze and Ottensen. You can even get to Reeperbahn quickly, if that area floats your boat. I would definitely stay here again.
