GINN Hotel Hamburg Elbspeicher

Kitchen/breakfast view over harbor, city etc. Hotel staff is exceptionally great and helpful, for example hostess for the breakfast area was extremely welcoming and helpful. Location is great right next to fish mark, boat, bus etc transport. Small fridge in the room. Room and hotel looks very modern and nice.

I really, really liked this hotel. The wonderful receptionist let me check in in the morning, no stress, they loaned me a phone charger, the location was truly brilliant. In one direction a small waterside walk to lovely fish restaurants, boat trips, museums, and the city centre. A walk in the other direction - the cool and gritty famous Reeperbahn area. The shower was powerful. The breakfast was really, really good. so many continental choices, great coffee, and they’ll make you a hot breakfast too. Highly recommend and hope I’ll come again!

The hotel's main attraction is its location; when you book a harbor view room, you are literally over the river, there's not even a quay between the building and the water. You can come across an Ultra Large Container Vessel category cargo ship visiting your room in a Saturday afternoon. You can also encounter military and other vessels from around the world. It's also worth to mention that the building itself is an old warehouse with all its ups and downs. The old structure is visible which gives a unique vibe to the hotel. The rooms are on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor, and although we requested to get one on the 4th floor, I don't think it matters with this view. The restaurant is on the top (8th) floor with terrace that makes the very average breakfast memorable. Some of the staff members there are super kind. The fish market with a bunch of great seafood restaurants is nearby, Sankt Pauli is just a corner away, a Soviet submarine (now museum) is next to the hotel, public transport boats have their stop is 2 minutes away etc. You won't find any better location in town.

Nice hotel with comfortable rooms. Rooms with a view of the river are good too. The restaurant/bar at the top of the building are also a nice touvh with a great view of the river/city. Breakfast was good.

The ferry stop is in front of the hotel. Every time I went to town and returned to my hotel, I took the ferry to Landungsbrücken. It was a special experience.
