Hotel Alte Wache

DO NOT STAY HERE Hotel is full of bedbugs. From previous reviews, they are full aware of the issue but have done nothing to resolve the issue.

I booked this without reading reviews. When I read the reviews I very nearly cancelled but I am very glad I didn't. This is a good hotel and very good value. Reception area is very clean with very helpful front desk staff. Lifts to all floors. Room was spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable bed, crisp clean linen, opening windows. Room safe, TV, wardrobe. Bathroom very clean, plenty of hot water and towels, walk in shower, sink, toilet. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice, cold meats, cheese, cereals, yoghurt, rolls, boiled eggs etc. Coffee, tea, cold soft drinks. Staff very attentive. Again very clean. The hotel faces a main road and there is traffic noise all the time. Ask for a room at the back. Great location by train and bus station. Interesting street life outside, some homeless people, some drug taking, but also families. In fact similar to many major western cities. My wife and I are in our seventies and didn't feel threatened. If you are sensitive to this behaviour probably best to stay in Altona. We'll use the hotel again.

The location is close to the train station, however it’s not that safe walking at night, many homeless ppl The hotel is ok given the price is not expensive
