I stayed here for a single night in June and really liked this hotel. Yes, it's old and my room, #7, was the standard teeny, tiny single you get in Europe, BUT I felt the place had great character and I really felt I was living in someone's home and not a hotel as a result. My windows opened onto a fabulous view and the hotel is in a wonderful location - walking distance to everything I wanted to see. The bathroom was small, but clean and functional. Breakfast choices were limited, but more than enough to satisfy and service in general was a real pleasure. My only complaint was that the doors weren't really soundproof, so if people were inconsiderate (please don't be one of those people - ever) and wanted to stomp down the passage at 2am, talking loudly, you will definitely hear them. Please note that I found the hotel a little tricky to locate: when you exit the Dammtor station, make sure you exit on what I call the back side - the front side has the taxi ranks and the walkway to the center of town; while the back faces a Shell garage. There was no map at the station and the locals were particularly un-helpful (thanks!). So exit at the "back" and turn to your left. Cross the road at the pedestrian traffic lights just ahead. Keep walking for a few minutes until you come to Brugata Street on your right (I think it's the first street you come to, but it's only a pedestrian street, so don't be confused). It goes off to the right and you will basically be going back in the direction you came - don't worry, this is correct. You'll find the hotel in the last building on that stretch on your left. There is a shortcut through the park, but it's a little tricky with bags - so save that for when you've scouted the place out a little. All in all, I enjoyed my stay - the place had great character and the parks and gardens nearby were a delight. Would stay there again. If you are traveling alone, make sure it is reflected in the on-line booking - I used one of those travel websites and when I arrived I was told my room was for 3 people! They were kind enough to suggest a single (95 Euros compared to 135 Euros). I made the booking for one person, but I suppose the website just categorized one room size. If the staff hadn't told me, I would have spent the extra money without even knowing. I was early, but they offered me coffee in the breakfast room while I waited for them to clean the room - nice touch.

We stayed here in June 2007 on a baking hot weekend.
Paid €125 a night for a double room. Not cheap!
Arrived very late around 2300, were dropped off at the Dammtor Bahnhof and walked roughly 5 minutes to hotel.
There are a number of hotels in the same building.
Night Porter was busy with someone on ground level so we took elevator up to 4th floor to Belmoor only to find no answer when we rung the reception bell so back down to night porter who had our key.
Kinda confusing.
The corridors were old looking, reminded me of Fawlty Towers, our room was small and...old looking!
Have been in more spacious and modern 3-Star hotels for sure!
The weather, as I said, was baking and there was no air-conditioning in the room which led to an uncomfortable few nights of sleep.
Breakfast was nice both mornings and the service was very friendly and light hearted.
We walked to the Alster lakes and the Rathhaus each day within 10mins. And we pretty much walked all the sights of Hamburg within a few hours.
Would I use this hotel again, maybe not, there are quite a few behind the Hbf which were slightly less expensive, more central although quite a few shady establishments are to be found behind the hbf too.

A lovely hotel, very well situated. The building houses 5 hotels and each occupies a different floor. I am unsure as to whether or not there were any interlinkages. The hotel is not fancy but the staff are helpful and very friendly. The rate included a breakfast that was more than adequate and my room was up a flight of stairs under the eaves. It was quiet and well furnished and the entire experience was a delight. It is about 2 blocks from the Dammtor rail station and one can walk to the main city areas in 10-15 minutes. The value for money was very high.
