Opposite the main station, on Kirchenallee, the Hotel Garner St. Georg Hamburg is a 3-star hotel in a 19th-century building. It is a straightforward option if you arrive by train and want to set off on foot towards the Alster and the old town.
Location and getting around
You leave the hotel and Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (main station) is about a 5-minute walk away. The Binnenalster lake is about 15 minutes on foot and the Rathaus (town hall) about 20.
The Kunsthalle art museum can be seen from the breakfast room. It is about 30 minutes’ walk to the Speicherstadt; for Landungsbrücken or the Reeperbahn, about 2.7 to 3.1 km away, the U-Bahn or a taxi is better.
Rooms and facilities
Each room has its own decoration, with classic furniture. They are soundproofed and have cable TV, a seating area and a private bathroom.
Breakfast is a buffet served in a dining room with views of the Kunsthalle. The building’s facade is 19th-century, and inside it mixes classic furniture with modern details.
Its position opposite the station also gives you suburban trains and the U-Bahn to anywhere in the city.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you are arriving or leaving by train, including first thing in the morning.
- Ideal if you want to visit the Kunsthalle without taking transport.
- Worth considering if you like old buildings with classic-style rooms.
There are more options at this level among the 3-star hotels.
