Hotel Volksschule

We stayed for 4 nights in this beautifully restored and converted school building (with a car park for those driving). We travelled from Hamburg Flughafen using the S1 train line, changing at Berliner Tor onto the U2 line and then 3 stops to Rauhes Haus (direction of Mümmelmannberg) - about 35 mins in total. Very simple. The neighbourhood is a quiet residential area with a supermarket across the road. The U-Bahn station (Rauhes Haus) is a 4 minute walk, and a very quick and efficient ride into the city centre - do not let this distance put you off, it really is very easy and fast. We received a complimentary upgrade on check-in which was lovely . The room was a good size, gorgeous shower room, high ceilings, a safe, large TV, mini fridge and comfortable bed. The rooms are quiet, sound proofed - our room was directly across from the breakfast room and the doors were so thick we never heard a thing! Room suggestion: a mirror over desk area would be helpful. The room does not have air-con, and even though this is usually an essential for us, we were provided with an electric fan, and as we visited in April/May (although it was exceptionally warm weather) it didn't affect my Tripadvisor rating! Breakfast was from 7-11am each morning, with a very good selection of hot food (scrambled/boiled eggs, sausages, beans, bacon), cereals, juices, bread, cold meats, cheeses, yogurts, fruits, tea/coffee etc. All very good and replenished constantly. The lounge/bar area and outside area was relaxing and stylish. The hotel was immaculately clean throughout. Not many dining options in the neighbourhood, but the tube is so close and efficient that going to a nearby area was no problem at all. Absolutely recommend this hotel as your base for exploring Hamburg.

1st time visiting Hamburg and loved the hotel. Easy access to the city centre via the underground. The hotel was possibly one of my favourite hotels I have ever stayed in. We stayed in room 434 which was really quite

If I could I would give the Hotel Volksschule a 100/10 star rating. The hotel is the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at. Each and every staff member from Dominik at the front desk to the staff at breakfast do their part to make your stay exceptional. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. This was so comforting to me, as I was traveling from the US, and am not proficient in German, yet the staff helped me out with everything I needed from navigating the metro to ordering takeout on an app. The common areas of the hotel allow for nice socialization either in the bar area or outside at the tables. It did not matter the time of day of when I needed something, there was always a staff member to provide assistance in a welcoming and charming way. I wish I could take the staff home with me as they were THAT GOOD! I highly recommend the Hotel Volksschule without reservation. Also hats off to the decor team - every detail has a purpose -quite whimsy and pleasant. You get to test your math skills on the clocks! FUN!

Beautiful building inside and out. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was a comfort room and it was very big. The bed was super comfy and a fantastic delicious breakfast. So much choice and the scrambled eggs were delicious. The subway is a few mins walk and gets you everywhere easily. We found the subway easy to get around. From the airport you need the green line (S1) and change at central to the red (U2) to the hotel. Easy! You can buy a group pass for up to 5 people for 13 euros. Hamburg is a brilliant city

Clean, quiet, newly renovated and large rooms with good internet service

Very good value for the money. Lovely rooms with Charakter. Stayed herein for to Nights and would choose it again in we need a hotel in Hamburg. Transport To the Center is Quick and easy. Another think I live is that the breakfast Ende at 11 so we could sleep a litten longer

Loved this hotel. Really nicely re-purposed school building with stylish and comfortable rooms and accommodations. A bit out of the center area in Hamburg but it's easy to get there by public transport and the neighborhood is quite nice. Even had free parking which was a nice surprise. Staff was welcoming and friendly. The breakfast at the hotel is AWESOME! Probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had in a long time. So many choices and super high quality foods. It's worth staying there for the breakfast alone! This hotel is a great choice and I'd definitely like to stay there again!
