Hotel Engel

Hotel Description

You know what? Hotel Engel surprised me more than I expected it would. I mean, it’s got that solid 4-star setup, but there’s something about the way they run the place that feels more personal than most hotels in this category. The lobby hit me right when I walked in – not trying too hard to impress, just genuinely welcoming with this warm lighting that actually makes you want to hang out there instead of rushing straight to your room.

The rooms are honestly pretty well thought out. Nothing revolutionary, but they’ve clearly paid attention to the little things that matter when you’re actually living in a space for a few days. The beds are properly comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the bathroom setup makes sense – you’re not doing that awkward dance around a tiny sink or fighting with a shower door that barely opens. I stayed on the third floor and it was surprisingly quiet, even though there seemed to be some construction going on nearby during the day. The WiFi actually works throughout the building, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how many places still mess this up.

What really stood out was the staff – they seem to genuinely know the area well and gave me some solid recommendations that weren’t just the obvious tourist spots. The woman at the front desk mentioned this little café about two blocks away that I never would have found on my own, and honestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. Check-in was smooth, no weird surprise fees or complicated key card situations. The whole place just feels like they’re trying to do hospitality right without making a big show of it. It’s sitting at a 7.7 rating, which feels about right – not perfect, but definitely delivering on what they promise. If you’re looking for something reliable without paying luxury prices, Hotel Engel does the job well. I’d probably stay there again, which for me is always the real test.

Reviews

• Berry from Netherlands – 4 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very nice rooms and facilities. Don't miss out on the various bespok self brewed beer options in the bar!

• Kassiem from Switzerland – 28 April 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel offers everything you need (fridge in the room, breakfast, lunch, dinner, parking, etc.).
  
  What could be improved: A coffee machine in the room would be nice

• Luz from Germany – 9 July 2024 (8/10)

  The receptionist was super friendly, they have 24h service and they did not mind that I arrived late at night for the check-in. He kindly helped me to sort out a food order and suggested different options of places available to deliver directly to the reception. The room was a bit small but comfortable, it had everything I needed. It was very clean and the bed was nice. The bathroom was also very clean. I can defiinitely recommend. It is located in a quiet area, therefore you can get a very good night sleep.

• Felicity from United Kingdom – 31 May 2023 (8/10)

  Breakfast was good
  
  What could be improved: Lack of sockets in the bedroom

• Jasmin from United States – 2 January 2023 (8/10)

  convenient location to those I was visiting, quite a good breakfast spread, nice outdoor seating area/ courtyard
  
  What could be improved: most rooms don’t seem to have a “ Do NOT DISTURB” signs in the room , and the housekeeping often knocks on the hotel room door several times in tge morning ti see if you want your room “ to be made up” – it was disturbing at 8;00 am and then 10:00 am etc

• Day from United Kingdom – 15 November 2022 (9/10)

  Local to U bahn and family

• Jussi from Finland – 8 September 2022 (9/10)

  Friendly staff, very clean hotel, good breakfast.

• Stephan from Australia – 25 August 2022 (7/10)

  It is a quite location. Located near a restaurant and near the woods. I would describe it as being relaxing and not so near busy Hamburg.
  
  What could be improved: The shower was a bit small for me and it had a shower curtain. The ceiling had some cobwebs and the building looked quite old. Public transport did not run regularly so had to walk about 1 kilometre to get to u-bahn. The bar fridge didn't work properly.

• Thomas from Sweden – 15 August 2022 (7/10)

  Nice restaurant with great food. Breakfast buffet was good but with a bit noisy environment. Very attentative and helpful staff.
  
  What could be improved: The room was very hot but we could borrow a fan that helped a little.

• Siri from Netherlands – 24 July 2022 (9/10)

  I needed a place to sleep for one night. My visit was at the time of the heat wave and the room stayed cool all through it and the bed was wonderful. My dog was treated friendly. Food was good and wine glasses filled generously
  
  What could be improved: No much to do in the neighborhood. But it was partly the reason i chose it
