Hamburg Guesthouse review: Pension Kieler Hof
The hotel itself is not bad. The rooms are clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and a very good value for the money. Though I was expecting a shared bathroom, only the toilet is shared. Each room has a shower and basin ensuite. Overall, pretty decent.
The reason, however, this hotel was pretty horrible was the location. The area around Hauptbahnhof station is dull and boring. The area surrounding the hotel itself is fortified with grungy, dirty little bars and lots and lots of hookers. The noise factor is HORRIBLE. You will hear the click clack click clack of high heels of prostitutes walking down the street, all sorts of loud and obnoxious drunk voices, and car traffic 24 HOURS A DAY. All things considered, if you bring a good set of earplugs it might not be too bad. It is convenient to all the public transport links. They serve a free breakfast and coffee, which was nothing special (bread rolls, jam, nutella) but it was free.
Overall, I give the place 5 out of 10.
