Relexa Hotel Bellevue an der Alster

Relexa Hotel Bellevue an der Alster Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the Relexa Hotel Bellevue an der Alster, you immediately understand why couples rate this location so highly. The three-star property sits right on An der Alster in Hamburg’s St. Georg district, and honestly, the positioning couldn’t be better. It’s one of those places where you step out the front door and you’re already in the thick of things — but not in an overwhelming way, you know what I mean? The building itself has that solid, unpretentious German hotel feel that actually puts you at ease rather than trying to impress you with flashy lobbies.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I really appreciate about staying here — you’re literally steps from the Alster lake, which gives Hamburg this unexpected resort-town vibe right in the city center. St. Georg has this interesting mix of local cafes and international spots, and you can walk to the main train station in about ten minutes when you need to get somewhere quickly. The area feels authentically Hamburg rather than touristy, which means you’ll see actual locals going about their day. I mean, when recent guests consistently rate the location a 9.0, they’re onto something real.

The Rooms

The rooms at Relexa Hotel Bellevue an der Alster are what I’d call thoughtfully straightforward — clean lines, comfortable beds, and everything you actually need without unnecessary frills. Some rooms have views toward the Alster, and if you can snag one of those, it’s worth it for the morning light alone. The bathrooms are modern enough, and there’s decent space to spread out your stuff, which honestly matters more than people think when you’re staying several nights. It’s the kind of setup where you sleep well and wake up ready to explore rather than wanting to hide in your room all day.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast buffet here actually impressed me — they’ve clearly put thought into accommodating different dietary needs with continental, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options all laid out clearly. It’s not just token healthy choices either; there’s real variety that makes sense for how people actually eat these days. The coffee is solid (important in Germany, trust me), and they keep things stocked well even during busy morning rushes. You can fuel up properly before heading out to explore Hamburg’s canals and neighborhoods.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to this place is that combination of prime location and reliable comfort without the premium price tag. The private parking is genuinely helpful if you’re driving — finding parking in this part of Hamburg can be a real headache otherwise. But really, it’s that sweet spot where you’re paying for a three-star hotel but getting access to what feels like a much more expensive neighborhood. Couples especially seem to get this, probably because you can walk along the water, duck into cozy restaurants, and still be back to your comfortable room within minutes. It’s Hamburg hospitality done right — efficient, welcoming, and perfectly positioned for actually enjoying the city.

Reviews of Relexa Hotel Bellevue an der Alster

• Lis007 from Sweden – 20 April 2025 (7/10)

  It's an old hotel, but very nice. Great location! Face the water front. Huge room. Walking distance to the central station.
  
  What could be improved: The only downside was that we didn't find a good breakfast place close by.

• Stephen from Ireland – 10 November 2024 (7/10)

  A bit of old worlde charm overlooking the Alster. Enjoy the walk to Jungfernsteig.
  
  What could be improved: The hotel was a bit tired and creaky. But I guess part of its charm.

• Bernadette from Germany – 18 April 2024 (8/10)

  Very good location directly across the Alster, not far from the main station.
  Room was comfy, water pressure in the shower was great.
  Breakfast buffet was good
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast was 20€ per person which was fine but discovered after arriving back home and looking at the bill that we had to pay extra for the breakfast beverages. Next time I‘ll ask beforehand if drinks are included.

• Bronwyn from Australia – 19 January 2024 (8/10)

  Clean, comfortable and cosy rooms, close to bus stop and restaurants
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast was not great and expensive

• Anastasiia from Ukraine – 25 October 2023 (8/10)

  The room was spacious with a nice view
  
  What could be improved: Sound proofing could have been better

• Gabrielle from Australia – 12 October 2023 (7/10)

  great location
  
  What could be improved: I had upgraded to a room with a view of the lake following a prompt from booking.com that I could secure one for a higher rate after my initial booking; when I arrived the staff advised that a view of the lake wasn’t guaranteed for that rate and my room faced the car park. It was also noisy from other rooms and the hallway

• Joost from Netherlands – 3 August 2023 (8/10)

  Nice room in a quiet area, a minute walk from the Lange Reihe with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Good size room for it being a one person room. The room is nicely decorated and has a comfy seat.
  
  What could be improved: At €18 the breakfast is a bit expensive in my view. The parking garage entrance looked very narrow, I didn't even try to use it. The Wifi connection was on and off in my room.

• Willem from Belgium – 1 August 2023 (8/10)

  Location is top.
  Rooms are big and nice.
  
  What could be improved: Personnel was not overly friendly.
  All-in-all quite expensive, but this was generally the case for Hamburg.

• Sandra from Denmark – 13 September 2022 (8/10)

  A very nice hotel in a great location for St. George. Has a quiet little courtyard to sit outside with a coffee or a drink. Room was spacious and the bed nice and firm.
  There is on site parking for 12 euros per night. If you have an EV, there are 3 chargers available at no extra cost (1 for Tesla, 2 for other EVs).
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately there is no control with the parking. This means that petrol cars will take the spaces for EV cars. The spaces were simply occupied. We left our phone number at reception so that they could call us when the car could be moved, but this never happened. So check yourself, a space will open up. Fix this issue, and we will definately return.

• Michael from Germany – 19 August 2022 (8/10)

  Excellent location and good Value for money
  
  What could be improved: Nothing
