IntercityHotel Hamburg Dammtor-Messe

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the IntercityHotel Hamburg Dammtor-Messe? It’s one of those places that just gets the location thing right without being obnoxious about it. I mean, you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the Messe Hamburg exhibition center – which is probably why you’re looking at this place anyway – but honestly, the positioning works for pretty much everything else too. The Dammtor train station is right there, and I actually found myself using it constantly to hop around the city instead of dealing with taxis or rental cars. Smart, really.

The hotel itself has that clean, no-nonsense German efficiency vibe going on. Four stars, and they’ve earned them without trying to be something they’re not. The rooms are what you’d expect – well-designed, comfortable beds (seriously, slept like a rock), and bathrooms that actually have decent water pressure. Nothing fancy, but everything works properly, which honestly matters more than marble countertops when you’re dealing with early morning meetings or long exhibition days. I stayed during one of the bigger trade shows, and while the lobby got pretty bustling around check-in time, the staff handled it smoothly. No drama, no waiting around forever with your luggage.

What I really appreciated – and this might sound weird – is how the place handles the whole business traveler thing without making leisure guests feel like afterthoughts. The breakfast setup works whether you’re rushing to catch a 7 AM presentation or taking your time on a weekend city break. And speaking of weekends, that’s actually when this place becomes a bit of a hidden gem. All those business amenities and the solid location near Planten un Blomen park, but without the weekday conference crowd. The 7.9 rating makes sense to me – it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury touches, but it delivers exactly what it promises. Sometimes that’s worth more than a flashy hotel that disappoints on the basics. Plus, if you’re planning to explore Hamburg properly, you’ll appreciate being connected to the transit network instead of stuck in some remote “resort” location that looks great in photos but leaves you spending half your budget on transportation.

Reviews

• Ekaterina from United Kingdom – 3 May 2025 (8/10)

  Great location, very quiet, easy to reach centre and river. Clean and fresh shower with great water pressure. Kettle and tea in the room.

• Adrian from Ireland – 26 April 2025 (9/10)

  Super hotel beside great park and easy walking to all points of interest

• Eirini from Greece – 9 March 2025 (8/10)

  The location and the view!
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast was very basic with same food every day, so kind of boring.

• Jens from Germany – 23 February 2025 (9/10)

  Clean Room, which was upgraded.
  Coffee and Tea in the room. Extra bottled water was there for free, which is much appreciated. The beds are comfortable. Bathroom was clean and shower was spacy. 12th floor view was spectacular.
  
  What could be improved: The room was just too warm, heating was all on the top, but this you cannot take as a negative, because someone else might the have liked it. No restaurant for the evening, but there is plenty of restaurants to go in the 20 to 30 min walking distance. Only one has to go around the exhibition area…

• Stephane from Belgium – 12 February 2025 (9/10)

  Excellent breakfast. Nice rooms. Perfect location for the Messe which is just next to it.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing. All was good

  Location
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast was too expensive

• Manuel from Ireland – 4 December 2024 (7/10)

  Location and room perfect (daily cleaning shall return, now is on demand),
  
  What could be improved: Lack of dinner option on site is a problem if weather doesn´t invite to go outdoors. Breakfast good but 22€ is too expensive.
  No daily room cleaning in a hotel of that category is not acceptable
