The Rilano Hotel Hamburg

this is our second stay. We love it.

we had to leave too early, because of the driving...

The general comfort of the room and the size and quality of the bathroom and shower.

I asked in my booking for a quiet room. I was given a first floor room right next to the exit via lifts. I supose I should have pointed this out, but it did make me feel there was little point in this request. Two other hotels in Cologne went out of there way to put me on upper floors, away from noise.

Breakfast was good. Location is ideal, close to Airbus and ferry. Free Internet

Pillows, single duvets, prices for food and board, no weights in gym

The staff were friendly and efficient while the views of the river with a continual flow of ships going past the hotel were fascinating. It was also a novelty travelling to and from Hamburg by ferry.

Transport to and from Hamburg by taxi was expensive and the traffic at times horrendous. The ferry to/from the pier outside the hotel was a much better and cheaper alternative but it finishes too early in the evening.
