Gemütliches Apartment in zentraler Lage in Hamburg Alsterdorf für bis zu 7 Personen

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name makes it sound so formal – “Gemütliches Apartment in zentraler Lage” and all that – but honestly, it’s just this really solid, unpretentious apartment that happens to be perfectly positioned in Alsterdorf. I mean, when I first walked up, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star spot, but that 9.3 rating starts making sense pretty quickly.

The thing about Alsterdorf is that it’s got this sweet spot quality – you’re actually in Hamburg, not stuck way out in some suburb, but you’re also not dealing with the tourist chaos of the Speicherstadt or St. Pauli. It’s where actual Hamburgers live, you know? There’s this authentic neighborhood feel where you’ll find yourself grabbing coffee at local bakeries instead of overpriced hotel chains. The apartment itself sleeps up to seven people, which honestly makes it perfect for families or groups who want to spread out a bit instead of cramming into tiny hotel rooms. The space has that lived-in comfort that you can’t fake – real furniture that people actually use, a kitchen where you can make proper breakfast (not just heat up instant coffee), and enough room that everyone isn’t stepping on each other.

What I really appreciated was how the location works in practice, not just on paper. You’re close enough to the Alster that morning walks become this routine thing you actually want to do, and the public transport connections mean you can get to the Hauptbahnhof or down to the harbor without that exhausting transfer dance you do in some cities. The neighborhood gets quiet in the evenings – not dead quiet, but that comfortable residential hum where you can actually sleep without earplugs. I noticed the local restaurants tend to be the kind of places where servers remember regulars, and there’s this great little market on Saturdays that feels genuinely local rather than put on for tourists. The apartment’s setup really encourages you to settle in rather than just crash between sightseeing marathons, and after a few days you start feeling less like a visitor and more like a temporary resident. That’s probably why the rating is so high – it’s not trying to be fancy or Instagram-perfect, it’s just thoughtfully done and genuinely comfortable in a way that makes Hamburg feel accessible and real.

To book a hotel in Hamburg during the famous Hamburg DOM festival season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts maritime enthusiasts and culture lovers from around the world.

Reviews

• Ulrika from Sweden – 23 April 2025 (9/10)

  Super clean, beautiful and comfortable apartment in a quiet neighbourhood a little bit outside central Hamburg.
  
  The bedrooms are big and so is the living room. The kitchen is really well equipped. Great bathroom!
  
  We really liked that there was a designated parking space for us.
  
  There are restaurants and a great supermarket really close. The big city park is a shortish walk away.
  
  Easy access to the city center with the underground.
  
  Nice and welcoming host.
  
  What could be improved: The stairs leading up to the apartment are very steep, but we knew this beforehand and it wasn't a problem for us. The floors inside the apartment are a bit slanted, but it is more than made up for by the tasteful decore!

• Isabelle from France – 7 August 2024 (9/10)

  Flat very comfortable and very well equipped. All the amenities are accordingly the description. Cleaning service is included and perfect. Very good communication of the hosts.
  
  What could be improved: A washing machine could be a plus for a family as the flat could host up to 6 persons.

• Barry from Germany – 18 July 2024 (10/10)

  A very nice, clean, well-equipped apartment true to the advertising. Alsterdorf is a nice suburb and we enjoyed walking in the area. The apartment is perfectly situated a short distance from the U1 line, a short walk to the supermarket and bakery, and with a few restaurants and cafes close by.

• Kryštof from Czech Republic – 24 May 2024 (9/10)

  Everything was amazing. The kitchen, comfy beds, bathtub & shower in the bathroom and Smart TV which you can log into and watch anything you like.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing I would point out, that there is a door threshold from the entrance to the dinning room and it's a little bit elevated than one would expect, so we were tripping on it a lot.

• Jean from France – 1 May 2024 (10/10)

  Nice and clean appartement, well furnished.
  We had an issue with the oven and the stoves but the owners were really reactive to fix it.
  Location: not in the city center but 5 minutes walk to the Subway station. With public transportation you Can reach the airport in 15 minutes and the main attractions in Hambourg within 20 minutes.
  
  What could be improved: Stairs to reach the appartement are a bit steep if you have heavy luggage or a stroller

• Gürcan from Turkey – 13 April 2024 (10/10)

  The flat is well designed. Everything you need is thought and supplied. The rooms were well cleaned. The environment was quite. No difficulty for transportation. Those were the ideas for the flat. The owners were very responsible. Whenever I asked a question about the flat, parking areas and also midnight open apotheke and clinic, they were very cloase to us and answer all the questions kindly.
  
  There is no difficulty to reach to flat. The key was in the small box just in front of the flat. If ypu have a car, there are lots of spaces around the building (But you have to change the street) for free. There are markets and apotheke around the flat. There is no question about security. So, you can prefer the flat with no question in your mind.
  
  What could be improved: There is nothing to be better for a short journey for this flat.

• Geet from Denmark – 26 March 2024 (9/10)

  Very thoughtfully managed apartment!
  Clean, roomy, comfortable and very inviting!

• Sarah from Sweden – 4 January 2025 (3/10)

  The location feels safe and the parking is a plus
  
  What could be improved: The maintenance of the apartment isn’t good enough for what they are chanting. A door fell out of the wall and we couldn’t use it, they said they’d fixed it but they hadn’t. The TV doesn’t work and they’ve known about this for months, a mirror fell off the wall which is frankly dangerous as they are only affixed with tape. One knife in the kitchen is not enough to cook a meal.

• Jeroen from Netherlands – 25 April 2025 (10/10)

  Ligging (parkeerplaats en dichtbij U bahn) en appartement als geheel.
  
  What could be improved: Niet aan de orde

• Lisa from Germany – 10 April 2025 (10/10)

  Sehr gut ausgestattet, bequeme Betten, große Zimmer, Supermarkt gleich gegenüber, U-Bahn in der Nähe (man ist schnell bei den Landungsbrücken), kostenloser Parkplatz direkt vor der Wohnung
  
  What could be improved: Etwas hellhörig, wenn im Untergeschoss der Getränkemarkt um 7 Uhr die Bierbänke ins Auto lädt
