EAST

FAQ

Where can I park, where are the parking spaces and what does it cost?
There is a public underground garage called “Alte Eisengießerei”, some 30 metres to the left of the main entrance with a brightly coloured door. If the green light is on there are vacant places. Pull a ticket out of the machine at the barrier and the roll-up gate will open.
For hotel guests, parking for 24 hours costs EUR 18.00.
If this car park is full (indicated by the red light “besetzt ”), please use one of the other public car parks in the immediate area. It is “First come, first serve”, as it is not possible unfortunately to reserve any parking spaces in advance. Only vehicles with a maximum height of 2 metres can use the car park.

What is the best way to get to the city centre?
Anyone happy to use public transport can jump on the US or S1 subway trains, or catch Bus 112 headed in the direction of “Hauptbahnhof”, and get off either at “Rathaus”, “Jungfernstieg” or “Stephansplatz”. Once you arrive you’ll have the Alster lake right next to you, as well as countless shopping amenities on “Neuer Wall” and on “Mönckebergstraße”. A taxi ride to the city centre takes around ten minutes. Taxis will either be parked outside the hotel entrance, or we will quickly call one for you.

How long is the reception open?
Around the clock from 0.00 am to 24.00 pm.

How do I get to the airport?
Either by taxi (depending on traffic, you will need between 20 and 45 minutes for the 12 km) or with the suburban rail line “S-Bahn Linie 1” (from the “Reeperbahn” station directly to Hamburg Airport, in the direction of Ohlsdorf/ Poppenbüttel). Other options include: Taking the U3 subway train one stop to “Landungsbrücken”, then changing to the “S1” in the direction of Ohlsdorf, as above. You should plan in approx. 45 minutes for this journey.
