I stayed at the Europaischer Hof in Hamburg for a week and loved the place. My room was attractive (Art Deco-ish), comfortable, spacious and located exactly where I requested. The breakfast (inclusive) was phenomenal! A fabulous array of foods, including all kinds of herring salads I'd never seen before, a very good selection of cheeses and bakery-quality breads and pastries, very good coffee, and on and on, plus there are on-site cooks to make custom omelettes (perfectly made each time) and eggs to order. The staff in the dining room is very efficient. So is the staff in the Lobby/ Reception, as well as being friendly and courteous. The location can't be beat for anyone taking public transportation: directly across the street from the Hauptbahnhof; it was so easy to ride the U-bahn trains every day, and to arrive and depart on the Intercity trains. The location is also great for such sites as the Kunsthalle (a five-minute walk), the Museum of Kunst und Gewerbe (a three-minute walk) and the Rathaus (a 15-minute walk). The only potential flaw would be for guests who cannot walk stairs, because there is only one elevator and if that has a problem (it did for one day of my visit), you have to walk the stairs. But I recommend the Europaischer Hof totally and wholeheartedly!
