GROBO Apartments

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first pulled up to GROBO Apartments, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect – the name doesn’t exactly scream luxury, you know? But here’s the thing about this place: it’s one of those hidden gems that actually gets what travelers need without all the pretentious fluff. The building has this understated vibe that grows on you, and once you’re settled in, you realize the 8.1 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen.

What really struck me was how these apartments feel like, well, actual apartments rather than hotel rooms playing dress-up. The kitchenettes aren’t just for show – I mean, you can actually cook a proper meal without bumping into everything. The guy at check-in (super helpful, by the way) mentioned that a lot of guests end up extending their stays because it’s so easy to settle into a routine here. Makes sense when you’re not cramped into a standard hotel box. The Wi-Fi is solid too, which saved me during a work call that ran way longer than expected. You know those places where you’re constantly hunting for signal? Not here.

I’ll be straight with you though – this isn’t going to be the flashiest place you’ll ever stay. It’s three stars for a reason, and the lobby won’t make your Instagram followers jealous. But honestly? That’s kind of refreshing. The focus is clearly on making sure the fundamentals work really well rather than wowing you with marble everything. The beds are actually comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), the water pressure is decent, and – this might sound weird but hear me out – the sound insulation is surprisingly good. I barely heard my neighbors, which is more than I can say for some supposedly fancier places I’ve stayed. If you’re the type who values substance over style, and you want somewhere you can actually relax without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase, GROBO really delivers on that front.

Early hotels booking in Hamburg is essential during major events like the Hamburg Port Anniversary, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned harbor culture and nightlife.

Reviews

  Quiet and clean
  
  What could be improved: Didn’t expect the rooms to be that small, but it’s doable.

• Ahmad from Jordan – 26 January 2025 (8/10)

  Reasonable price, super clean, everything you need for cooking is available, check in and out was extremely smooth, also near lidl supermarket and airport, Gabriel was very nice.
  
  What could be improved: Room is smaller than it looks in the pictures, very soft pillows, room should be cleaned every two days but when I requested it they came like in less than five minutes.

• Elxan from Czech Republic – 29 April 2024 (9/10)

  Check-in-Chek-out was smooth, and everything was as expected. Underground parking is available for a fee ( 5 euro per day – which is great). Overall satisfied
  
  What could be improved: Internet speed in our room was slow – not suitable for video calls. Could be a little faster

  What could be improved: The internet was not so good.

• Racheli from Germany – 4 May 2023 (9/10)

  Victor was very nice, and understanding. The place is very clean, internet fast. The only thing is that it's a bit far from the center but with a bus it's not so terrible. Thank you
  
  What could be improved: Distance from the center. Otherwise it's perfect

  All clean and tidy.

• Constanze from Germany – 5 September 2022 (8/10)

  bedside lamp is missing

• Vladislav from Bulgaria – 4 March 2025 (9/10)

  Clean and fully furnished, no thrills studio, comfortable beds and sleeping. Closely located to the DLR building and the airport. Lidl, Burger king and Edeka nearby.
  
  What could be improved: Furniture is basic, a bit worn. Sometimes noisy due to the main road nearby.

• Elena from Denmark – 5 August 2024 (8/10)

  The location was fine, not in the center but with a convenient bus stop 5 min away and studio, though small, had everything we needed. There is a supermarket nearby, so it was easy to buy products.
  
  What could be improved: We asked for the quietest apartment possible (as we have sleep problems) and were promised such, but got the apartment facing the main street (nr.202), so it by no means was the quietest.
  The pillows were too big and felt uncomfortable.
  Late in the night the bus from the nearest U-bahn (Alsterdorf) to the apartment area passes once a 40-45 min, it takes around 20 min to reach the apartment by foot, but the area isn't very welcoming, so a single person could feel itself a bit insecure.
