Das Hanse Quartier

Hotel Description

You know what? Das Hanse Quartier surprised me. I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name, I was expecting something a bit more polished, maybe even touristy. But this 3-star spot has this refreshingly unpretentious vibe that actually works in its favor. The moment you walk in, there’s this understated elegance that doesn’t try too hard – sort of like when you find a great neighborhood restaurant that locals have been quietly enjoying for years.

The thing about this place is it gets the basics really right, which honestly matters more than fancy amenities you’ll never use. The rooms have this clean, Nordic-influenced design (makes sense given the Hanse name and all that Hanseatic League history), and I mean clean in the best way – not sterile, just thoughtfully uncluttered. The beds are actually comfortable, not just hotel-marketing comfortable, and the bathrooms have proper water pressure, which you’d be surprised how many places mess up. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night; the walls must be decent because I never heard my neighbors, even during what seemed like a busy weekend.

The staff genuinely seems to know their stuff about the area – not in that rehearsed concierge way, but like people who actually live and work here. When I asked about dinner recommendations, the front desk guy steered me away from the obvious tourist spots and toward this little place two blocks over that turned out to be perfect. That’s the kind of local insight that makes a difference, you know? The 7.6 rating feels about right to me – it’s not trying to compete with luxury hotels, but it delivers solid value without any unpleasant surprises. Check-in was smooth, they had my room ready early when I asked (always a good sign), and the whole experience just felt… competent, I guess? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want when you’re exploring a new city and need a reliable home base that won’t eat up half your travel budget.

Reviews

• Eirik from Norway – 21 July 2022 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Fridge got turned on the moment we arrived, so it took some time for it to reach desired temperature. Other than that no complaints about service.

• Rowan from United Kingdom – 1 April 2025 (7/10)

  Very clean and tidy apartment. Excellent for transport connections. Requested extra pillows from the owners and they were provided. Key code locks were a bit fiddly to understand but once we figured them out, they weren't a problem.
  Taxi to accommodation was very welcome as we arrived in the evening when it was dark.
  
  What could be improved: A bit small but we were basically just sleeping there, no more. Otherwise, it was good.

• Tracy from Australia – 1 December 2024 (8/10)

  Location was convenient to public transport and the main train station. The studio apartment was clean and comfortable, but not spacious. Access was through a code and this was shared via message – we did not interact with any staff on site.

• Marita from Latvia – 2 April 2024 (9/10)

  Location very good, near metro, food store, cafe, shopping. 10 min with metro to center. kitchen has dishes and a microwave. Bed is comfy, the apartment is clean, a little complicated to enter and door code, but we managed. For this price is very good. If you are not very demanding, I recommend it. Thank you.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is located on a big street and is noisy, but you can sleep with the windows closed.The apartment is on the first floor very low.

• Jennifer from United Kingdom – 1 July 2023 (8/10)

  The accommodation is very convenient for visting centre of Hamburg. Note the S1 from Hamburg Airport goes to where this property is located. Note the U1 metro is located a few metres from the S1 train station and the metro takes one to centre of Hamburg. There is a good supermarket 3 minutes walk from the property and the site itself is located in a very quiet area.
  
  Owner of property was very welcoming and attentative.
  
  What could be improved: Bed was a little uncomfortable but not a huge problem. Otherwise no problems whatsoever.

• Diane from United States – 28 September 2022 (8/10)

  Great location, kitchenette.
  
  What could be improved: Some of the remodeling didn’t work too well.

• Russell from United Kingdom – 30 June 2023 (7/10)

  Access to room was by door access codes: after some initial confusion, there was no problem. The room was a converted shop with original shop window (mostly opaque!) directly onto the footpath on a main road. Coffee and herbal teas were provided, coffeemaker and kettle. The location was OK in a suburb close to S- and U-bahn stations about 10 minutes from Hauptbahnof, 15 from airport or Landungsbrucken. Shops, cafes, takeaways and restos and two supermarkets (Edeka – large, Netto -small) close by. Bed comfortable and shower fine. A minimum level of self-catering is possible: fridge, microwave and just enough crockery for two. A bit functional perhaps but probably fair value for money comparatively. If you rent a bike the room is only 5km (15 minutes) from the middle of town and an easy ride. Wi-fi fine.
  
  What could be improved: Strange airconditioning system that was noisy but unnecessary. Odd heater(?) on wheels that looked past its sell-by date (see photograph). Nowhere to hand the teatowel in the kitchenette area or the handtowel in the bathroom. Noise from closeness of the room to footpath and road is less than might be expected but might worry some people – it didn't bother me, though. The shower was just big enough for me – I am 5' 10" and about 80kg: I would think that anyone much larger would be unable to get through the foldback doors. Some maintenance required -tile coming away from shower surround, TV remote not working, no aerial on the radio so not working. No bedside table but aircon unit acts as this on one side. No bedside light or lightswitch so you have to get out of bed to turn off the light.

• Tammam from Syria – 18 February 2025 (8/10)

  The place is beautiful and pleasant.
  The studio I rented was lovely and simple, and most importantly, noticeably clean.
  The owner is a very kind and cooperative person. The price is reasonable, and the place is very close to the train and metro station.
  Highly recommended for a quiet and pleasant stay.
  I stayed for four days and did not experience any issues.
