Fraser Suites Hamburg
Absolutely great hotel, good location, very clean and comfortable and spacious rooms. Reception staff were great every interaction was first class. Sadly breakfast staff really not good, no warm welcome, food not restocked possibly not their fault as there were only ever 2 on service but a smile ...

No water in room. Not enough towels. Rude unhelpful staff on arrival. Wasn’t worth the price at all. Very disappointed. Won’t be staying here again.
