Motel One Hamburg am Michel

Neatly located for HafenCity, St Michael’s church and the Reeperbahn, this Hamburg branch of the Motel One chain is reliably fresh, modern and inexpensive. Expect cleanliness and comfort rather than character; rooms follow the chain’s regular dark wood, white and turquoise scheme with little further flourish, but with quality bed linens and heavy curtains, you can be confident of a good night’s sleep. Though the rooms have limited square metres and minimal wardrobe space, there’s plenty of room to stretch your legs in the spacious lobby and well-stocked bar downstairs. Amenities are basic, but service is friendly and efficient.
