Hotel Europäischer Hof Hamburg

The location was great for exploring Hamburg--right across from the main train station and most train lines throughout the city, plus plenty of buses. Many districts were in walking distance as well. The spa situation was interesting--everything stacked on top of everything else, accessible by a winding staircase or an elevator. The breakfast had a lot of variety and the coffee was good.

The hot tub/jacuzzi was closed. The bed was divided, and although they came and tied the legs of the base together, it wasn't as comfortable as a normal double bed. Reviews had said the TV channels included a lot of English, but all of the English channels were just news or business ones.

I wasn't enamoured by the room itself however I did select the most basic type so I'm sure there are nicer (and more expensive) rooms. The bathroom was really nice. The staff were very helpful and attentive. The breakfast was great; I really liked their cereal selection, as it had a mixture or nuts and seeds to add to your cereal too. The chef also makes make fresh omelettes and fried eggs and sweet waffles to order.

The basic room was basic in look and didn't have a sense of luxury (barring the bathroom which was really nice). This could be just a personal preference
