Novum Hotel Kronprinz Hamburg Hauptbahnhof

Location, close to central train...

Liked: Good location, very close to the main train station Hbf, it is just across the street, the city center, townhall is also near, around 10 min walk. I got a room with windows to the inner yard, which is good. If the windows are to the main street it might be a bit noisy. Reception is 24/7.
Disliked: Hotel is a bit oldish, need some renovation, do not expext much comfort there. The breakfast is very basic.

Ideal Location

Liked: Small, single room but completely adequate for what i needed. Small bathroom with shower. Ideally situated across the road from the main station
Disliked: Continental breakfast needs attention. Lack of options available and breakfast room too small for busy hotel

Below expectation, but low cost.

Liked: Location.
Disliked: Breakfast, cold, not cleaned properly, didn't change the room when asked. In the February heating wasn't working and they didn't fixed it.

This hotel's best times date...

Liked: This hotel's best times date back to the early years of the last century, somewhere between the two world wars. It could have stayed that way and been maintained, and it would have been great in terms of cleanliness, but unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. The hotel has probably renewed the elevator and added TV antenna cables. Visually, you can see additional electrical wires so that electrical devices can be used somewhere. And that's it!Everything else in this hotel has seen the ups and downs of the last century.The room I was using could fit a bed and my suitcase. Unfortunately, there wasn't much space left for me, but I was able to use the suitcase as a staircase in this room, and I had to use the bed for all other purposes.Don't bother dragging yourself for breakfast, just go out of the hotel and right across the road is the Hamburg Central Railway Station where you can find everything, from delicious Starbucks coffee to a classic English breakfast, the hotel breakfast is a complete zero!But if I have to praise the hotel, it is of course the professional and friendly reception staff and the hotel's location.I stayed at the hotel for two nights and survived, and you too, if you want to experience something already forgotten. I saw and experienced a lot of forgotten old things - with a real key and a heavy copper key holder, a shower with hot and cold taps, without a mixer, etc., etc.But most importantly, I had good memories despite many inconveniences!

Excellent location, 2 minutes walk...

Liked: Excellent location to access public transport, literally 2 minutes walk from Hauptbahnof. Breakfast was excellent, although the breakfast room did get very crowded around 8.30pm.
Disliked: No tea / coffee facilities in room although some of the more expensive rooms did offer this. It's a shame that they don't offer this facility in all rooms. TV in room on the small side, but no real issue with that.

Convenient for the station, clean...

Liked: Very close to the station. Cheap. Clean .
