Gastwerk Hotel Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany - Reviews and Hotel Information

Gastwerk is located in Hamburg Bahrenfeld. This first seemed to be a bit off the beaten path in my eyes, but going by train you reach the harbour and the centre quite fast. The train station is an about 5/10 minutes walk away from the hotel. There is also a bus station around the corner, buses going to Altona stop there. In case you do not want to go to the centre or to Schanzenviertel in the evening you could also walk for around 10 minutes to a quarter called Ottensen, where you find a lot of restaurants, little shops and bars. A taxi ride to the airport costs around 25 EUR and takes around 15/20 minutes.

The hotel is located in the premises of a 19th century municipal gas plant, and therefore it has a truly interesting architecture - high ceilings, brick stone walls and an old industrial machine in the hall. It is just a fantastic design hotel, with interesting details to discover in every corner. I`ve been to quite a few design hotels lately and somehow they all looked the same - but Gastwerk is different due to it`s special architecture and still very cosy.

They use high quality fabrics and furnishing in the spacious rooms, which have also those lovely rain forest showers :). If you spend a little more you can also rent a loft room with brickstone walls.

They have an obviously orientally inspired spa with a sauna, a steam room and a lovely resting room, where you can read fashion or home design magazines, unless you fall asleep there under cosy blankets. They offer massages and beauty treatments for men and women.

There is also an italian restaurant and a bar.

All in all - I highly reccomend it. Room prices start from EUR 150 upwards.
