Cool room in an amazing location
Pros:

As soon as I walked into this suite, I was amazed by the wonderful harbor view and spaciousness of the lodgings. The suite was very luxurious with a large sitting area, minimalist desk out of the way in the corner but still accessible, numerous seats, and an impressive retractable wall where the television was mounted. Because of this retractable wall, one can open up the bedroom to the sitting area for easy access, or keep it closed for privacy. I arrived before check in time hoping to leave my luggage, but they had the room ready for me already. The bathroom is very spacious with a shower and a separate tub. There is also a separate small WC in a different room from the bathroom with the shower, but both have toilets. The kitchen is small but offers all the amenities one might need, with two cook tops, Nespresso machine, kettle, small refrigerator, and dishwasher. One of the most impressive features is the harbor view, where one can watch a steady parade of enormous seagoing vessels glide by, and the view at night is even better.

The location is very good, steps away from the Elbe and great options for dining and nightlife. The famous Shellfischposten and Köhlbrandtreppe are directly across from the boardinghouse. The promenade, U-boot museum, Alter Elbetunnel, and others are within walking distance. There is fine dining in several locations a few blocks west, and the Fischmarkt for a quick bite. Public transportation is accessible, although often requires climbing stairs. One tip is the 111 bus goes from Hamburg Altona Bahnhof to Grosse Elbstrasse a few blocks away from the boarding house. If arriving to Hamburg by train, consider going to Hamburg Altona instead of the Hbf and you won't have to climb stairs. Hamburg Altona is also an Sbahn stop which gives one access to other parts of Hamburg with just a few connections.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike about this suite. If I had to pick on something, the light switches were a bit strange and comprised of buttons. They did not seem to work properly all the time, but this may have been simply because I did not know how to use them properly. For example, it seemed at one point the air conditioning turned itself off in the middle of the night, making it uncomfortable to sleep until I realized and got up to turn it back on. There were strange devices on the wall in two places near the bathrooms. I could not figure out what they do. They looked like circular knobs to rotate with a switch on the side. The only thing I can guess about these is maybe some kind of variable sensor. I did not use the laundry facilities, but they are located in the basement and not in the rooms.

Absolut zum Wohlfühlen - Hier kann man wirklich sehr gut auch für einen längeren Zeitraum bleiben.
Pros:

Der Ausblick auf die Elbe war so schön! Das Apartment ist sehr groß, zwischen Schlafzimmer und Wohnzimmer ist eine große Schiebetüre (in der der Fernseher eingelassen ist, sehr cool) die man wenn man mag auch offen lassen kann, was den Raum dann nochmals größer macht. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, gleiches gilt für die Sessel und das Sofa. Das große Bad mit WC, Dusche und Badewanne wie auch ein separates WC haben zu dem super schönen Aufenthalt beigetragen. In der Küchenzeile findet sich alles was man braucht. Gegenüber ist ein sehr gutes italienisches Restaurant und in unmittelbarer Nähe sind viele weitere Lokale und Bars. Besonders gut hat uns gefallen, dass wir ab der nahe gelegenen Haltestelle "Fischmarkt" mit der Fähre Nr. 62 via der Elbe mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel die Landungsbrücken erreichen konnten. Hier kann man wirklich sehr gut auch für einen längeren Zeitraum bleiben. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Cons:

Alles war wirklich toll, aber wenn es etwas gibt was man verbessern könnte (das ist nur eine winzige Kleinigkeit): die Lichtschalter sind recht gewöhnungsbedürftig und vor allem die im Bad mussten sehr exakt gedrückt werden um das Licht an- oder auszumachen.

Außergewöhnliche Apartments in bester Lage Hamburgs.
Pros:

Die Apartments sind deutlich oberhalb eines gewöhnlichen Hotelstandards. Der Preis ist daher gerechtfertigt und garantiert einen tollen Aufenthalt.
