First class in all departments. Great location. Easy access from airport and central station. Quiet location. Just far enough out of centre to be away from city centre riff-raff. Spacious room. Great staff. Look forward to staying again.

The property is closer to the main attractions of Hamburg. If you are travelling as a family (with kids), keep in mind that the rooms are pretty small and the size of the bed is also small.

Overall pretty good stay at the hotel, though the shampoo/body wash offered seems a bit lack luster. Also having a menu for the breakfast would be helpful, as asking the greeter at the dinning area with "what options are available, what do you serve, and 2-3 other forums of the same question yielded little results.

Exceeded my expectations.

I had an absolutely faultless two-night stay in this hotel, and cannot thank enough the hotel staff who made it so. A perfect location too, with a train station stop right outside. You know exactly what you'll get with the Novotel brand, and it didn't disappoint.

The service was not good. The treatment during checkin was not welcoming. In our last day they woke up us at 8 AM for housekeeping (check out was at 12!). The TV didn’t work the last day and they helped us fix it, even though they told us they will do it.
