I had a great stay at the Intercontinental Hamburg, enjoying a spacious room with a nice view of the Aussenalster river. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home. However, I found the room temperature a bit challenging and the service in the bar could use improvement. Overall, it's a wonderful hotel, but there are minor areas that could be better.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its friendly and helpful staff. The views from the rooms are truly stunning, but I found the decor somewhat bland and not quite up to par for the price. The location is fantastic, right by the lake and a short walk to the city center, making it very convenient. Unfortunately, the dining service was lacking; I often had to chase down waitstaff. Overall, it's a nice spot with some room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel is in a lovely and quiet residential area, providing charming views of Alster lake, which made my stay quite enjoyable. The rooms were nice, though a bit small for my preference, especially the bed that wasn't the best fit for a good night's sleep. The service overall was friendly, but I encountered some delays at the bar and restaurant. The dining options were extensive and of high quality. The price felt reasonable for what I got, but there were a few minor issues that prevented it from being perfect.
