Residence Inn by Marriott Hamburg Altona

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

The room is really nice, we have the one with the kitchenette, which was very useful. Breakfast is basic, but good enough. There is a huge supermarket around the corner, which helps. There is a main bus line a couple of blocks away and the S1 around 8 min walk from the Hotel. The S1 connects to the airport. The location is not central, but it was useful for us for what we needed to do. The Reception is at the Moxy hotel, next door and so is the gym. Unfortunately, they've closed some amenities, such as a ping pong table as it seems they need some storage space. Overall, a good hotel, but if you prefer to be more central, perhaps this is not your area. It takes around 20 minutes by bus to get to the centre. We've had no issues with this, but it's not walking distance. We've had a really good experience.

Staff was attentive and professional. Property was very clean and comfortable

Having stayed in this hotel before over extended periods of time to visit family in Hamburg, the most recent stay at Residence Inn was a big disappointment. This hotel no longer "deserve" a four star rating die to the complete lack of service, the shocking speed of deteriorating room quality and an obvuous lack of care by staff and management. Some staff acted outright hostile towards guests, but most simply cannot be bothered to interact at all - even lacking the most basic politeness. Rooms show their age very clearly now, and no maintenance is done in thos property anymore: broken shower doors, spent light bulbs, black mold in the shower stall, worn out and "saggy mattresses" - it is clear that ther eis no maintenance done in the rooms owt likely due to profit maximization and cost cutting measures). While it's nice to have a small kitchen in the room, the design is impracticable (fridge is inaccessible, etc.) and finding the coffee machine full of old, used coffee pods and filthy does not instill confidence in the housekeeping service. The reception desk at Residence Inn is not staffed anymore, and guests must use the check in at the Moxy hotel (ca. 50 meters away). The staff at Moxy hotel are behaving extremely rudely and show no internest in serving guests from the Residence Inn. The latter is now an "Air BnB" charging high prices with no hotel service offered. Avoid this hotel which does not care about their guests, and is not at all worthy of a four star designation.

Well equipped studio apartment in quiet area close to the S bahn (Ostensee), less than 5 minutes walk. Good choice of eateries close by. Had to check in at Moxy next door but no problems. Excellent breakfast, lots of choice, staff brilliant.

The staff at this hotel are excellent- a big thanks to Daniel and his Manager for sorting out a room issue we had. Really excellent service and would definitely recommend the hotel. Very easy to access central Hamburg with good secure parking.

Loved our room! Had a slight problem getting into and out of the garage, but other than that, it was perfect! Thanks!

Repeat stay at Renaissance Inn by Marriott in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, and unfortunately the service level has seriously dripped through the floor - while the s and breakfast service are still very good. Pros: still a spacious, well-equlipped room with kitchenette, separate sofa and work desk and a small, but highly functional bathroom. Good location, great breakfast offer (cold & warm dishes and beverages are excellent and plentiful), and convenient parking garage. Cons: service level is practically non-existent since there is hardly any staff to be seen. Check in and check out now has to be done pretty much at the sister hotel Moxy due to staff shortage. The only staff one encounters is the breakfast team, and not only are these gentlemen all very unfriendly (no greetings and not hospitality shown to anyone), but the chef even was chiding me , when I tried to take some food items in a manner he did not approve of. Honestly, not used to be berated by service staff as a guest... if this is in line with Marriott's standards, then, that's on Marriott. But for a Marriott hotel experience this is totally unacceptable. The same goes for the fact that most of the staff do not speak German nor even proper English: communication is a real challenge, and there is no sense of "Hanseatic hospitality". Summary: if you don't want any contact with staff, then this is the right hotel for you. As a Marriott it's a failure regarding service, but the room and breakfast do deliver.

We loved this hotel and the Altona area of Hamburg so much that we extended our stay here for two more days. The room is extremely well designed and feels like a respite after walking many miles around the city sightseeing each day. We have agreed that this is our go to hotel in Hamburg, so we will definitely return and I highly recommend a stay here if you prefer hotels that are an bit off the beaten path like we do.

Enjoyed this stay very much. The rooms feel brand new and it was very comfortable and well designed as well. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood so we really felt like we experienced what Hamburg really feels like for its residence, which makes it one that I will return to next time I’m visiting.

My second stay at this Renaissance Hotel was once again quite enjoyable. The room I booked was very well equipped - including a fully outfitted kitchenette, work desk and small seating area. The bed was comfortable and the room was kept very clean. The bathroom is quite small and dark, but very modern and for a single traveller it is sufficient. If you do need parking, the hotel garage is of normal size (no mini driveways!), and a safe place to park your car). On the negative side there were some service mishaps: i.e. the only available lift breaking down on one morning, and house keeping leaving both windows open all day after cleaning, so that I came back in the evening to an ice cold room. However, service recovery was quite swift - with the lift being repaired within a few hours, and management extending their apologies for the "ice box room experience" very quickly and genuinely. The front desk staff does care about customers here, and is very, very friendly and welcoming. Finally, the breakfast service needs to be highlighted: food and beverages on offer are first class, and the breakfast service is a truly delightful experience to start your day with. Overall, I can definitely recommend this hotel which is conveniently located if you like the Ottensen and Altona neighborhoods. It's on a quiet street, but with a supermarket, restaurants and public transportation all in short walking distance. Good choice for Hamburg, and real value for money.
