Blue City Apartment’s

Blue City Apartment’s Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Blue City Apartment’s on Steindamm, you’ll notice it sits right in the heart of St. Georg — honestly, one of Hamburg‘s most vibrant neighborhoods. This three-star place doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and I actually appreciate that straightforward approach. The building has that classic German charm, and being on the first floor means you won’t be hauling luggage up endless flights of stairs (trust me, your back will thank you).

The Neighborhood Advantage

St. Georg is where locals actually hang out, not just tourists. You’re literally minutes from the Hauptbahnhof, which sounds busy but actually makes everything incredibly accessible. What I love about this area is how it balances convenience with character — there’s this great mix of Turkish cafes, trendy bars, and traditional German spots all within walking distance. The Alster lake is close enough for morning jogs, and you know what? The whole vibe here feels more authentic than staying near the touristy Speicherstadt. This neighborhood truly captures the essence of Hamburg’s local culture and spirit.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup really works well, especially for couples (which explains why so many pairs rate this place highly). You get more space than a typical hotel room, and having a proper kitchen means you can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets and actually cook something decent. I mean, hotel breakfast gets old fast, right? The layout feels thoughtful rather than cramped, and there’s enough storage that you won’t be living out of your suitcase the entire time. It’s the kind of space that makes you feel genuinely at home.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you headaches — they offer private parking, which in Hamburg city center is basically gold. Most places around here either don’t have it or charge ridiculous fees, so this is a real advantage if you’re driving. The whole setup feels more like staying in a friend’s place than a sterile hotel, but you still get the reliability and cleanliness you’d expect from proper accommodation. These thoughtful touches make all the difference during your stay.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me most is how this place gets the balance right between independence and service. You’re not dealing with stuffy hotel protocols, but everything works smoothly. The location puts you in the thick of real Hamburg life while keeping you connected to all the major sights and transport links. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own space to retreat to after exploring the city — plus that restaurant scene in St. Georg means you’ll never run out of dinner options within walking distance. It’s the perfect base for discovering authentic Hamburg.

Reviews of Blue City Apartment’s

• Claudia from Germany – 27 October 2024 (7/10)

  Das Apartment ist sehr, sehr schön. Es ist geräumig und modern-gemütlich eingerichtet. Alles war sehr sauber und der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Das Apartment liegt zur Hofseite und ist daher auch angenehm ruhig. Von dem einen Schlafzimmer aus kann man auf eine Art Balkon (Feuertreppe) raustreten.
  
  What could be improved: Die Lage ist durch die direkte Nähe zum Hauptbahnhof zwar sehr zentral, jedoch hat man gerade als Frau kein gutes Gefühl durch diese Straße zu laufen.

• Rowan from Australia – 22 September 2024 (7/10)

  The apartment itself was very roomy and lovely
  
  What could be improved: Everyone in the other apartments smoked so the smell of cigarette smoke went through the apartment and made the whole place stink

• Ashwyn from New Zealand – 4 September 2024 (8/10)

  Tidy property and great value for money
  
  What could be improved: All is good. Might be nice to have a microwave

• Manuel from Germany – 25 July 2024 (8/10)

  Das ist ein sehr schickes Apartment wunderschön eingerichtet. Auch die gratis bereit gestellten Getränke und Kaffeekapseln waren sehr nett.
  
  What could be improved: Die Couch und Matratze waren für meine Verhältnisse etwas unbequem

• Vera from Germany – 28 June 2024 (8/10)

  Die zentrale Lage war sehr gut, der direkte Kiez im Bahnhofsviertel war überraschend.
  
  What could be improved: Der laute Kiez und saß Klingeln nachts.

• Sven from Germany – 14 June 2024 (9/10)

  Wunderschönes Appartement, sehr zentral, toll eingerichtet, sehr sauber
  
  What could be improved: Wir haben den Schlüssel im Stundenhotel abgeholt, das war schon sehr speziell, aber alle Menschen waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit, Nachts waren teilweise Schlangen vor der Türe von Kunden des Stundenhotels, die Wohnung ist sehr hellhörig, Kinder sollte man keinesfalls mitnehmen

• Ann from Denmark – 26 May 2024 (7/10)

  Lækker lejlighed, rent og pænt
  
  What could be improved: Nøglen skulle hentes på 1. Sal, som er et bordel. Meget upassende. Skummel og ulækker indgang til lejligheden, hvor piger står og venter på at finde kunder og der bliver handlet med stoffer eller lignende på gaden.

• Leila from New Zealand – 26 August 2023 (9/10)

  Centrally located
  Clean
  Spacious
  
  What could be improved: The location would make me feel unsafe if I would have travel alone.

• Yuko from United States – 1 November 2022 (5/10)

  The host of the apartment did not speak English and I did not speak German, but with the help from the next door store manager (?), he was very friendly and understanding, because I did not like the neighborhood of the location and I did not stay there at all. When I went back to the host the next day because I forgot my adapter in the apartment, the host was very helpful and understanding, too. I really appreciate it.
  
  What could be improved: Location did not fit me, and the cell phone reception was bad and I could call, but the other end did not hear me when I made a call from the room.

• Visser from Australia – 14 September 2022 (1/10)

  What could be improved: The street location was dirty, full of drug users, prostitution and beggars. Having to push past these in the entrance was unacceptable. We believe this property is also used by the ladies of the night.
  There was no parking provided or assistance from the host. Every night was noisy, smoke filled. Ambulances were active all the time.
