I have been to the European Court in Hamburg 10 times already: a hotel with very clear strengths and very clear weaknesses, so that one should weigh what is important to you. The strengths: the location of the hotel directly opposite the main station and in the middle of the city is absolutely great, if you use public transport or want to be on foot. The rooms facing the courtyard are surprisingly quiet for this location. As for the quality of the rooms: the renovated rooms (not so new) are good, the not renovated very old. Good is also the quality of the breakfast buffet. Now to the critical side: In this hotel will probably be invested only when things collapse. The interior in the general areas is very, very old and m.E. urgently in need of renovation. Likewise, the equipment in the gym. They work, but are no longer on the stand of a 4 star hotel with such prices. The pool area would be a renovation really good. And you do not necessarily want the non-renovated rooms. Other disadvantages include: this hotel does not have air conditioning. In a summer like now 2018 is the catastrophic: sauna-like sweating at fairly high prices of a 4-star hotel. Last but not least the service: it is dazzling. When I was here in 2017 for a few days, nothing was cleared in the much too small breakfast room, so that the guests were allowed to have breakfast between mountains of dirty dishes. That was different now: there are nice 'cleaners'. Service staff I would not call it here, because in fact only cleared. My criticism of the lack of service in 2017 meant that I got a room upgrade during my current stay. That is very nice and accommodating. Also, I found the staff friendly overall. However - and now comes again such a typical European courtyard No Go: -: The fitness room, which is like the whole hotel unklimatisiert, had a temperature of 30 degrees. The staff opened the sliding doors. Then comes in nice hot air. My very clearly worded suggestion to exhibit at least two fans did not lead to any success. Is one too lazy, too stingy or just a bit ignorant? I think, despite many significant strengths, this house acts for its owner, especially as a cash cow: get out as much as possible - as little as possible reinstecken. This charisma will be the European yard m.E. not going on for many years.
