NewLivingHome Residenzhotel Hamburg

Hotel Description

You know what? I almost walked past NewLivingHome Residenzhotel Hamburg the first time I was looking for it – and honestly, that’s kind of the point. This 4-star spot doesn’t scream “look at me” from the street, which I actually love about it. It feels more like you’re staying in a really nice apartment building that happens to have hotel services, if that makes sense.

The whole residenzhotel concept works brilliantly here because you get proper living space without feeling like you’re camping out in a generic hotel room. I mean, there’s an actual kitchenette that’s not just for show – you can cook a decent meal if you want to skip the restaurant scene for a night. The rooms have this lived-in quality that somehow manages to feel both homey and polished. Nothing’s trying too hard, which is refreshing when you’ve been bouncing between hotels that all look like they came from the same design catalog. The bathrooms are solid too – good water pressure, though the shower’s a bit snug if you’re on the taller side.

What really sold me on this place is how the staff actually seem to know what they’re doing. Check-in was smooth, no weird upselling attempts, and when I asked about getting around the city, they gave me real advice instead of just handing over a tourist map. Hamburg’s public transport is pretty straightforward anyway, but it’s nice when people take the time to point you toward the less obvious stuff. The location puts you in a good spot without being right in the thick of tourist chaos – you can walk to plenty of places, but you’re not dealing with constant street noise or crowds of people taking selfies outside your window. Parking’s available if you’re driving, though honestly, you probably won’t need a car much once you’re settled in. The neighborhood has that authentic Hamburg feel where you’ll see more locals than tourists grabbing coffee in the morning, which I always take as a good sign. It’s the kind of place where you can actually picture living for a week or two without going stir-crazy, and the 8-point rating feels about right – it delivers on what it promises without any major surprises, good or bad.

Reviews

• Alexander from Germany – 12 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very comfortable and spacious two room apartment with a bedroom and living room in the latter a large sleeping sofa, also large bathroom and separate kitchen ( equipment on demand) in a house very near to Hamburg Zoo and U Bahn station, the building surrounded by a green and quiet area, there is a restaurant and bar inside, and a large swimming pool in the basement with a window facing the garden, friendly staff

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

  The friendliness of the young man on reception
  
  What could be improved: Not having any plates, teaspoons or equip.ent/facilities for boiling water, cooking or simply eating! A few basic plates, bowls, cups, spoons etc are surly not a large costly outcome

• Elaine from Ireland – 29 April 2025 (8/10)

  Nice spacious apartment style room. The beds were comfortable and there was ample room for a family on pull out sofa beds. The breakfast selection was excellent and there was lots to choose from. There was fresh towels for the swimming pool and leisure area and the pool could be used for a short time after checkout. Which was very convenient.
  
  What could be improved: Directions to the hotel on Google were poor and ended up sending us to the wrong place. The receptionist was quite rude when we arrived from the wrong section of the hotel. Which was clearly not our intention. The remainder of the stay was pleasant.

• Claudia from Germany – 23 April 2025 (8/10)

  The swimming pool

• Suneet from Denmark – 21 April 2025 (9/10)

  It was absolutely clean, the location is next to the zoo and very close to the metro and daily shopping is just across the road. Parking is free in the closest parking space however it could be a bit risky to find it it if you are reaching late in evening else you need to park in basement parking which is 12 euros per night
  
  What could be improved: There should be double beds in the facility instead of sofa bed , the quality of the mattress is okay for 1 day but if staying for longer then not super good . I other room there are 2 beds which are OK but then you can not sleep with your partner

• Andriy from Ukraine – 6 February 2025 (9/10)

  Comfortable apartment, consisting of two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. Dishes and other kitchen utensils – for an additional fee of 6 euros. Cleaning is daily. There is a swimming pool and a restaurant, but we did not visit. There is free ground parking and paid underground parking.
  
  What could be improved: One evening a very noisy group moved into the room next to ours. They shouted until 3am so loudly that we couldn't sleep. A phone call to the reception didn't help.

• Puay from Singapore – 15 December 2024 (9/10)

  Clean and comfortable. Excellent for family.
  
  What could be improved: None

• Bozhidar from Bulgaria – 25 November 2024 (9/10)

  Location and beds.

• Khrystyna from Ukraine – 1 October 2024 (8/10)

  Very cosy and huge apartment, possible breakfast included with variety of options. Helpful workers at reception. Nice place for stay. Great area to walkby
  
  What could be improved: Kitchen basically did not include anything. You can request it for additional price, but what sense of having kitchen without anything. Basically it's just as hotel room

• Christine from United Kingdom – 27 August 2024 (9/10)

  Spacious, homely, good sized beds and parking easy.
