Can anybody recommend some? My friend and I will stay for a night before heading to Wacken on Wednesday... thanks
I can't recommend these specifically, as I've not yet been to Hamburg But I noticed them posted by others on this site. Rather than search for those threads, here you go: http://www.instantsleep.de/english/imprint.php http://www.kogge-hamburg.com/ And the Metal Travel Guide might help: http://www.metaltravelguide.com/mtg/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=listcats&cat_id=998&Itemid=56
I've stayed at instant sleep. It's ok and fairly convenient to the train station you're going to want if you're going that rout. This year I'll be at Hotel Stern, on the Reeperbahn. I've been in it before and it's simple, but in a good location and very cheap compared to the other hotels. (I stayed in one in that neighborhood that was HORRIBLE horrible horrible, and only slightly cheaper). They also have online booking, or walk in booking by machine.
Cool, I'll look into that as well. I'm glad those with experience are sharing their knowledge, so we newbies won't have to suffer through those 'interesting' neighbourhoods I'll be arriving in Hamburg from Canada on July 28th, so I'm going to have to work out a place to stay. A German friend might be meeting me, but as I've seen that friends' plans can fall through... it might be best to make my own
Hotel Stern on the "Reeperbahn" is very cheap, clean and you are in the middle of the scene. The breadfast room ist absolutely worth seeing! The Style of the sixties So, have a good time in Hamburg and Wacken
Hotels.. The Stern has been full for a while now... There's 6 of us arriving on Tuesday 29th July for one night before heading up to Wacken.. We managed to get this place booked a week or so ago... Etap Hotel Hamburg St. Pauli Simon-von-Utrecht-Strasse 64 - D-20359 HAMBURG Cheap and on the Reeperbahn... Probably shit, but hey, can't be in any worse condition than the tent.. Especially by Saturday night...
Me and some mates will be at Hotel Stern on the Tuesday and Sunday nights. An ideal base to go out drinking in Hamburg and to stagger back from Der Clochard in the early hours of the morning from..
Cool. We`re staying at the stern and it`s right on the reeperbahn! Sounds like fun on the tuesday night. We´re also there on the sunday to recover.
I might book stern for sunday after the fest to recover...already booked something else for tuesday-wednesday before the fest!
I'm being slightly classier, and staying in the IBIS, its 69euros a night. But I've heard good things about Hotel Stern from various friends who usually stay there
Anyone staying at Kronprinz Hotel? First time in Hamburg, so we're going to tour around for 2 days before driving up to Wacken. Now that should be an experience, first time in a left hand drive car
