Hotel Description

You know what’s funny about Ankerherz Appartements? The name literally means “anchor heart,” and honestly, that’s exactly what this place does to you – it anchors you right into this gorgeous slice of Hamburg that most tourists completely miss. I mean, Blankenese is technically still Hamburg, but it feels like you’ve stumbled into some secret coastal village that somehow got preserved while the rest of the city went all modern and bustling.

The apartments themselves are proper 3-star setups, nothing fancy but everything works the way it should. What got me was how quiet it gets at night – you’re close enough to the Elbe that you can actually hear the water if you open your windows, which is something I definitely wasn’t expecting in Germany’s second-largest city. The whole Blankenese area has this weird magic where massive container ships drift by like silent giants, but somehow it’s peaceful rather than industrial. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, none of that overly formal hotel theater, just practical German efficiency with a smile.

Here’s the thing though – and this is where that 9.3 rating makes total sense – the location is absolutely brilliant if you want to feel like you’re discovering Hamburg rather than just visiting it. You’re walking distance from the famous Blankenese stairs (all 4,900 of them, locals love reminding you), and the whole neighborhood has these winding streets lined with captain’s houses that date back centuries. I actually spent an entire morning just wandering around getting completely lost, which turned out to be the best part of the trip. The S-Bahn connection into central Hamburg is solid too, so you’re not stranded out here if you want to hit the Speicherstadt or St. Pauli later.

What I really appreciated was how the place manages to feel residential without being boring – you’ll see actual Hamburg families doing their grocery shopping and walking their dogs, not just other tourists taking the same photos. There’s this little bakery about a five-minute walk away where the morning bread smell basically functions as your alarm clock, and the guy behind the counter will practice his English with you if you’re patient with his attempts. Parking isn’t a nightmare like it is in most of Hamburg, which your rental car will definitely appreciate. The only minor thing is that if you’re the type who needs to be in the thick of nightlife action every single night, you might feel a bit removed – but honestly, after a day of exploring, that quietness becomes a feature, not a bug.

Reviews

  • Mutaz from Saudi Arabia – 28 April 2025 (10/10)

    It is clean and nice space.

    What could be improved: Nothing everything was perfect 👌

  • Piotrek44 from Poland – 27 March 2025 (9/10)

    nice, clean, well equipped, helpful stuff

    What could be improved: wi-fi was so-so (2/4 bars, need to re-login to the network every 24h), not many places to eat or order food from in the area, no intercom to open the building door for deliveries, so you need to go down every time.

  • Deleanu from Germany – 5 January 2025 (9/10)

    It was cozy and soundproof. It was just what we needed. I honestly suggest this apartment for the future and relax.

  • Moller from United Kingdom – 5 September 2024 (9/10)

    Very comfortable apartment with excellent facilities. The check-in procedure was really easy and the bus stop only a couple of minutes’ walk away. The parks and town centre of Blankenese as well as Elbe Einkaufszentrum are in easy reach.

    What could be improved: There is no oven (only a microwave) and there are no recycling facilities

  • Obitz from New Zealand – 15 August 2024 (8/10)

    The facilities were perfect allowing for cooking and independence. The location was great, easy access to busses and local Mall. Lovely and quite.

  • Jan-magnus from Germany – 12 May 2025 (8/10)

    Das Appartement war äußerst sauber und gepflegt. Die Einrichtung ist voll umgänglich und es gibt sogar einen Geschirrspüler.

    What could be improved: Es ist nicht dramatisch aber die Duschbrause hat nur eine Einstellung, sprich der Strahl lässt sich nicht "bündeln" um mehr wasserdruck zu bekommen.

  • René from Germany – 4 May 2025 (10/10)

    Die Appartements entsprechen den Fotos aus dem Internet. Die Einrichtung ist hell, freundlich und hochwertig. Die Ausstattung der Küche war umfangreich – es fehlte an nichts. Bett und Sofa waren äußerst bequem. Zudem achtet man auf besondere Sauberkeit. Zu Begrüßung standen eine Flasche Wasser und Schokolade bereit. Man merkte, dass sich jemand bei der Einrichtung der Appartements viele Gedanken gemacht und auf zahlreiche nützliche Details geachtet hat. In der Nähe des Hauses Ankerherz ist eine Bushaltestelle und in etwa 1,5 km Entfernung erreicht man eine S-Bahnstation, von wo aus man in ca. 20 Minuten direkt in Hamburg Mitte ist. Mit dem Auto, aber auch zu Fuß oder per Bus ist das interessante Treppenviertel in Blankenese direkt an der Elbe schnell zu erreichen. Wir waren begeistert und würden auf jeden Fall erneut im Ankerherz vor Anker gehen.

    What could be improved: Es war alles prima.

  • Alexander from Germany – 1 May 2025 (10/10)

    Liebevolle und moderne Einrichtung der Zimmer. Es wurde einfach an alles gedacht. Vom Kaffee bis zum Shampoo war alles vorhanden. Es gab sogar eine Flasche Wasser und einen Honig on top. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

    What could be improved: Es war einfach perfekt und es gibt nichts zu beanstanden.

  • Susanne from Germany – 2 March 2025 (10/10)

    Sehr schönes, geschmackvolles Apartment mit allem was man braucht, um sich selbst zu versorgen … Bushaltestellen ganz nah … Parkmöglichkeiten genügend vorhanden … Self-Check-in ganz einfach … Preis-Leistung super … empfehlenswert !

  • Ingo from Germany – 17 February 2025 (9/10)

    Bequemer Check-in und Check-out, alles sauber und alles vorhanden was man braucht.
