Holiday Inn Hamburg - City Nord, an IHG Hotel

I came to Hamburg for a Jamie xx concert at Sporthalle, so I chose hotel by location. I had a great stay here! The bed was a standout feature—firm and supportive, with no dipping in the middle, which meant no back pain in the morning. The duvet was wide and pleasantly heavy, and the pillows were low and comfortable, keeping my neck happy. I also appreciated the small details that made a big difference: A window that could be opened for fresh air. There's air con as well, but fresh air is always better. A bathtub with excellent water pressure, even on the 14th floor. A night light in the bathroom, which was essential since the blackout curtains worked perfectly. Amenities like an iron, ironing board, hairdryer, kettle, and a good selection of teas. The room itself was spacious, with a sturdy and wide nightstand, plus a nice banquette that was perfect for putting on shoes or placing bags. Breakfast was excellent, with a variety of cheeses, meats, pastries, and even French toast! No fish, but that’s expected in Germany. The scrambled eggs were fluffy, creamy, and hot, and everything tasted fresh. The check-in process was quick (just a couple of minutes), and check-out was instant. The hotel is also well-located, with a bus stop just a few minutes away and Stadspark within walking distance. Overall, a fantastic experience with well-thought-out details that made my stay comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Good location, close to the public transport. Taxis replying quickly to the call from reception, proved to be very useful during major events in the city like Taylor Swift concert. Close to the airport as well. Room is big enough and comfy, bed are comfortable. I had minibar included in the price, with a nice choice of local Fritz Cola, Apple juice, water still and sparkling and snacks. Lots of greenery around, clean and safe.

The staff was invaluable in changing my booking because I missed one day of my stay and still had a lovely room with a stunning view over the Stadtpark. The S-Bahn station is a five-minute walk; after 10 minutes, I was in the city centre.

The location was 10 minutes away from the airport. Staff were nice and helpful. It had a restaurant. Room was okay. On street parking was free.

The best Holiday Inn we have stayed in and probably one of the nicest hotels in general. Staff were very polite and helpful, loved the gym facilities and the restaurant/bar downstairs. Also, really liked the little tick cards available in the rooms and looked forward to a little treat every morning. Free on street parking directly outside the hotel and lovely views from the hotel windows. Lifts were quick and reliable - been to a few hotels where the lifts just don't work properly.
