Palais Esplanade Hamburg - Adults Only

Beautiful location and rooms. Exceptionally friendly and professional staff. Great breakfast.

The staff was delightful, and the room (suite) we booked was actually much larger than we anticipated. The location was great, just around the corner from the inner Alster and about 30 minute walking distance from most attractions. There's also an U-bahn just around the corner. We will happily return the next time Hamburg is on our travel plans.

The check in was slightly confusing (but it was properly explained in the email that I didn't read properly...) Being on the road side, there was a fair bit of road noise from cars, emergency vehicles, and the occasional jolly German. While the double glazed windows blocked out most of the noise, there was still some coming through. Unfortunately, due to the air-conditioning being locked on heating, we had to choose between a noisy night or fresh air. That was our only major complaint, but since we only stayed two nights and the room itself was marvelous it wasn't much more than a small blemish on our experience.

Quiet and comfortable; easy access and excellent breakfast
