SMARTments business Hamburg Aussenalster Overview

First Impressions

Walking into SMARTments business Hamburg Aussenalster, you immediately get the sense this place knows exactly what it’s doing. The lobby has that clean, efficient vibe that business travelers appreciate — not flashy, but everything feels thoughtfully designed. I mean, the name pretty much tells you what you’re getting: smart apartments for people who need to get things done. The staff greets you with that perfect balance of professional and friendly that makes you feel welcome without being overly fussy about it.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location on Schottweg is one of those Hamburg gems that locals know about but tourists often miss. You’re in Hohenfelde, which puts you right by the Aussenalster — and trust me, having that lake practically on your doorstep changes everything about your stay. The area has this residential charm that feels authentically Hamburg, not touristy at all. Couples seem to really get it (they rate the location 8.6, which makes total sense), probably because there’s something romantic about those tree-lined streets and the water views. Plus, you’ve got solid transport connections without the chaos of being right in the city center.

The Apartment Experience

What I love about this three-star property is how it reimagines what a hotel room can be. These aren’t just rooms — they’re actual apartments with kitchenettes that work. You know what I’m talking about if you’ve ever tried to use one of those joke kitchens in other extended-stay places. Here, you can actually cook a proper meal if you want to, which is brilliant for longer stays or when you just need a break from restaurant food. The design feels modern and uncluttered, with enough space to spread out your laptop and papers without feeling cramped.

Practical Perks

The private parking situation is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving in Hamburg — anyone who’s tried to find parking near the Alster knows this is worth its weight in gold. It’s one of those details that seems small until you need it, then suddenly it’s the best thing ever. The whole setup feels designed for people who might be staying a few days or even weeks, whether for business or just wanting a proper base to explore Hamburg. Everything works smoothly without a lot of fuss, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to focus on work or actually enjoy your time in the city.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.3 rating really reflects what this place does well — it delivers on its promises without trying to be something it’s not. You’re getting quality accommodation in a genuinely great part of Hamburg, with the freedom that comes from having your own space and kitchen. The Aussenalster location means you can jog around the lake in the morning or just sit by the water with a coffee, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters in the city. It’s that sweet spot where business travelers feel productive and leisure guests feel like they’re experiencing real Hamburg life, not just the tourist version.

Apartments in Hamburg provide travelers with an authentic local experience, allowing them to shop at traditional fish markets and cook with fresh ingredients from the renowned North German culinary traditions.

Reviews of SMARTments business Hamburg Aussenalster

• Samuel from Germany – 27 April 2025 (9/10)

  The location. The spacious room and big bathroom. The room had lots of light and was very warm (actually a bit too warm, but I opened the windows and turned off the heat as soon as I arrived). The dining table/desk was great too.
  
  What could be improved: I think it was a bit too warm inside the building, but I think that was due to the fact that it was chilly outside and the heat was on. I turned it off in my apartment and from then on it was perfect.

• Fred from South Africa – 24 April 2025 (9/10)

  The location was central to U-Bahn, shops and cafe,s
  The provision of coffee, tea, sugar and spices was most welcome.

• Rebecca from Germany – 29 January 2025 (8/10)

  Cleanliness and location
  
  What could be improved: There’s no actual person for checking in. When we arrived at 14:52 we had to wait until 15:00 when the other group could finally check in, and then us. Annoying. Would’ve liked to know about that ahead of time.

• Emre from Turkey – 5 January 2025 (9/10)

  Good location
  Big rooms
  
  What could be improved: Heating was closed when i arrived to room. It was a cold. Then the problem solved.

• Timur from Kazakhstan – 2 December 2024 (9/10)

  The size of the suite is good and the kitchenette is well equipped with everything you could need. The bathroom has heated floor. It was slightly chilly in the main room so having the heater in it could be helpful.
  There is a laundry in the basement which is perfect. The lady from reception was so friendly and helpful and the location of the apartment is good – about 8 minutes by foot from the metro station and with cozy Cafe around the corner.

• Yan from Canada – 20 September 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: No air conditioner
