Very near subway that takes you to the city center in 5-7 minutes.

Very nice big room, but the mattress was a bit hard for my taste. Nice and quiet, beautiful atmosphere and interior, and the breakfast is also worth coming back for! We went by U-Bahn to the city centre which is fast and easy, so perfect location if you come by car.

Lovely hotel
1st time visiting Hamburg and loved the hotel. Easy access to the city centre via the underground. The hotel was possibly one of my favourite hotels I have ever stayed in. We stayed in room 434 which was really quite

As usual, great stay
My second time at the hotel and as always, everything was excellent. Both the service and the reception (as usual, Maria was very helpful). If we return to Hamburg, Hotel Volksschule will be our hotel of reference.

Beautiful building inside and out. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was a comfort room and it was very big. The bed was super comfy and a fantastic delicious breakfast. So much choice and the scrambled eggs were delicious.
The subway is a few mins walk and gets you everywhere easily. We found the subway easy to get around. From the airport you need the green line (S1) and change at central to the red (U2) to the hotel. Easy!
You can buy a group pass for up to 5 people for 13 euros.
Hamburg is a brilliant city

The BEST in CLASS in Hamburg!
If I could I would give the Hotel Volksschule a 100/10 star rating. The hotel is the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at. Each and every staff member from Dominik at the front desk to the staff at breakfast do their part to make your stay exceptional. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. This was so comforting to me, as I was traveling from the US, and am not proficient in German, yet the staff helped me out with everything I needed from navigating the metro to ordering takeout on an app. The common areas of the hotel allow for nice socialization either in the bar area or outside at the tables. It did not matter the time of day of when I needed something, there was always a staff member to provide assistance in a welcoming and charming way. I wish I could take the staff home with me as they were THAT GOOD! I highly recommend the Hotel Volksschule without reservation. Also hats off to the decor team - every detail has a purpose -quite whimsy and pleasant. You get to test your math skills on the clocks! FUN!

Ikke helt som forventet
Ikke helt som forventet ud fra den generelle høje bedømmelse.
Dårlige parkeringsforhold svært at komme rundt med en større bil.
Meget kraftig parfumeret lugt (airfresher) på hele hotellet dog mest i underetagen - hvorfor? Hvilken dårlig lugt skal skjules?
Meget larm fra gadetrafik især mod Lidl!
Ingen ventilation eller a/c og når vinduer står åbne så er der alt for meget larm.
Generelt for varmt på værelserne
Alle vinduer på gange mv. står derfor også åbne!
Gardin kan ikke trækkes rigtig for så man får gadelys direkte ind i hovedet? Der er tale om en decideret fejlkonstruktion som kunne afhjælpes med fx. en clips
Der er ikke kaffe på værelset.
Det bør der være når man viser 4 stjerner ved indgangen.
Meget mørkt på hotellets gange.
Ligger i et kedeligt område, som ikke virker som det mest trygge område.
Gratis parkering og morgenmad er ikke nok til at trække op til andre tilsvarende hoteller!
Personalet/Betjening er meget imødekommende.
Der er rigtig fint tryk på vandet selv på 5. sal
