Priceline Hotel: 4* Hamburg NH Hamburg Altona

[Thespian]

Got this on the first try. Used the PRICELINE link from BetterBidding.

NH Hamburg-Altona

Stresemannstrasse 363-369

Hamburg 22761, Germany

$65.00 x 2 = $130.00 + $30.05 taxes & fees = $160.05

(the lowest rate I could find for my dates was $109 on Orbitz)

When I saw the hotel name come up, I was initially dismayed, as it's not in the central tourist area. But after spending some time on the excellent website of the Hamburg Transport Association (www.hvv.de) and looking at the Google Maps link on the hotel's TripAdvisor page, I felt better. The hotel appears to be about a 10-minute walk from either of two stops on the S1 rail line -- the line that goes to the airport. (Trains run every 10 minutes.) And it's a 4-minute walk from a major bus line. The HVV website has a "Personal Schedule" feature that lets you type in two addresses and calculates the best route; it even gives the walking time at both ends of the trip. The hotel is less than an hour from the airport, and only half an hour from the sights we want to see.

There are only 7 reviews on TripAdvisor, but they're generally favorable; several mention the cleanliness of the rooms and the nearness to public transport.
