Book a hotel in Hamburg

Finding the perfect spot to stay in Hamburg can really make your trip, whether you are after a chic design hotel in HafenCity or a cosy guesthouse in the Schanzenviertel. To help you choose, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about where to find your ideal accommodation.

Discover Hamburg, a city shaped by its deep connection to water. With more canals than Amsterdam and Venice combined, this bustling port city offers a blend of maritime heritage and modern innovation. You’ll find world-class museums, impressive architecture, and a lively arts scene. It's famous for its sprawling port, the Speicherstadt warehouse district, and the Reeperbahn entertainment area.

Explore the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, a striking architectural landmark, or wander through Miniatur Wunderland, the world's largest model railway. Take a boat trip around the harbour to fully appreciate the scale of the port. From luxurious hotels to cosy guesthouses, finding a suitable place to stay is easy, positioning you perfectly to explore everything Hamburg has to offer.

When planning your stay in Hamburg, consider booking your hotel around the Hamburg-Mitte district. This central area offers excellent connectivity and puts you close to many major attractions, making it a popular choice for first-time visitors and those wanting to explore on foot or by public transport.

Hamburg-Mitte encompasses the city centre, including areas like Altstadt (Old Town) and Neustadt (New Town). Here, you will find a range of hotels from budget-friendly to luxury, often housed in historic buildings or modern high-rises. Key landmarks include the impressive Rathaus (City Hall), the historic Nikolaikirche, and the shopping streets around Mönckebergstraße. To the south, the HafenCity district, a modern urban development, offers contemporary hotels and is home to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall and the Miniatur Wunderland at the Speicherstadt warehouse district.

For a different vibe, explore areas like St. Pauli. Known for its lively nightlife around the Reeperbahn, this district also offers boutique hotels and guesthouses. It is a vibrant cultural hub, popular with those seeking entertainment and a younger atmosphere. Alternatively, the areas around Alstersee, like Harvestehude or Rotherbaum, provide a more upscale experience with elegant hotels and a quieter, residential feel, while still being close to the city centre.

Hamburg boasts an efficient public transport system, including U-Bahn (underground), S-Bahn (suburban train), and buses, making it easy to reach your hotel from either Hamburg Airport (HAM) or the main train station, Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. From Hamburg Airport, the S-Bahn line S1 takes you directly to the city centre in under 25 minutes, with stops including Jungfernstieg and Hauptbahnhof. Many hotels are located within a short walk of these central stations, ensuring convenient access upon your arrival and throughout your stay.

Finding cheaper hotel stays in Hamburg is straightforward when you know where to look. Consider booking accommodation outside the main city centre, for example, in areas like Altona or St. Georg, which are well-connected by the S-Bahn and U-Bahn trains. These neighbourhoods often offer better value while still providing easy access to attractions. Look for hotels that are a short walk from a U-Bahn or S-Bahn station to ensure convenient travel around the city. Additionally, travelling outside peak seasons, such as the summer months or during major events like the Hamburg DOM fair, can significantly reduce prices.

Many hotels offer discounted rates if you book a few months in advance. You can also explore options with free cancellation, allowing flexibility to re-book if a better deal comes along. To save even more, look for hotels that include breakfast in the rate; otherwise, take advantage of Hamburg's many bakeries and cafés for a more affordable morning meal. We offer a wide range of accommodation options to suit every budget. Book your next hotel stay in Hamburg with eDreams and save!
