Gemütliche Wohnung im Schanzenviertel

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Gemütliche Wohnung im Schanzenviertel” listed as a 3-star place, I wasn’t expecting much. But you know what? Sometimes the best finds are the ones that surprise you, and this little apartment absolutely delivers on that cozy “gemütlich” promise in its name.

The Schanzenviertel is where Hamburg gets interesting – I mean, forget the touristy stuff down by the harbor for a minute. This neighborhood actually breathes. You’ve got street art that changes weekly, cafés where locals argue about football over their morning coffee, and that perfect mix of slightly grungy and unexpectedly charming that makes a place feel real. The apartment sits right in the thick of it, which means you’ll hear the neighborhood coming alive in the morning (not terrible noise, just… life happening), and you’re literally walking distance from some of the best Turkish food you’ll find outside of Istanbul. There’s this little döner place around the corner – I won’t spoil the discovery, but trust me on this one.

What struck me most was how the place manages to feel like an actual home rather than some sterile rental unit. The owner clearly put thought into the details – decent coffee in the kitchen (not those tragic instant packets), thick curtains that actually block out the streetlights, and honestly, a shower with proper water pressure, which is rarer than you’d think in these older Hamburg buildings. The 8.7 rating makes total sense once you’re there; it’s not trying to be fancy, but everything just works. Parking can be a bit of a dance if you’re driving – the streets are narrow and locals know all the tricks – but the U-Bahn connections are solid, so you might want to ditch the car anyway. During the warmer months, the neighborhood gets pretty lively on weekends (this is where the young Hamburg crowd comes to blow off steam), but midweek it settles into this nice rhythm where you feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it. I actually found myself staying in some evenings just because the apartment felt comfortable enough to actually relax in, which is saying something for someone who usually tries to pack every minute of a trip with sightseeing.

• Matěj from Czech Republic – 23 July 2024 (9/10)

• Adriaan from Finland – 2 June 2024 (9/10)

  The layout of the property is great, huge living room and well sized kitchen. The balcony is great little terrace with plenty sun in the mornings.
  
  Thoughtfully touch to have proper blinds or curtains installed for all rooms.
  
  Special mention for all the super new kitchen and really clean equipments, makes the kitchen a joy to cook in!

• Marlon from Spain – 13 October 2024 (2/10)

  What could be improved: I never heard back from the owner about the request to send an invoice to me, even though I wrote multiple messages. Therefore I had to pay myself from private money the apartment cost for a business trip, as I did not receive an invoice so could not claim it back. Not very happy about that and first time this happens to me with booking!

• Helma from Netherlands – 29 April 2025 (9/10)

  Fijne locatie, dicht bij openbaar vervoer. Snelle reactie van de host bij vragen.
  Heel fijn was dat de host parkeerkaarten geregeld heeft, zodat we in de straat konden parkeren.
  
  What could be improved: Helaas wat gehorig, vooral de bovenburen als ze rond lopen of iets verschuiven.

• Kristina from Germany – 16 December 2024 (8/10)

  Die Lage ist super, die Einrichtung geschmackvoll, die Ausstattung der Küche ist sehr gut. Das geräumige Wohnzimmer und der große Balkon (den wir im Winter natürlich nicht nutzen konnten) lädt ein zum Zusammensitzen.
  
  What could be improved: Die Betten sind bequem, aber für Doppelbetten eher schmal. Ich denke, 140 cm ist die Breite. Mit vier Personen sind der schmale Flur und die kleine Küche etwas überfordert.

• Melanie from Germany – 30 November 2024 (9/10)

  Sehr sauber, gemütlich, viel Platz, hell, warm, tolle Ausstattung
  
  What could be improved: Habe keine Mängel gefunden.

• Marie from Denmark – 12 August 2024 (9/10)

• Nicole from Germany – 31 July 2024 (9/10)

  Nahe Schanzenviertel und trotzdem super ruhig. Schöne Terrasse mit Baumkrone. Gut ausgestattete Küche. Gemütlich eingerichtet.

• Michaela from Germany – 25 July 2024 (9/10)

  Die Lage war echt super, Schanzenviertel und ganz viele Cafes und Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar. Schöne Gegend zum Wohnen, man kann auch als Frau nachts nach Hause laufen. Die Wohnung selbst war sehr schön, genauso wie auf den Bildern. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich& zuverlässig und hat auf Anfragen sofort reagiert. Eindeutige Weiterempfehlung!
  
  What could be improved: Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig, andere Hausbewohner halten sich leider nicht immer an Ruhezeiten
