Hotels near St. Pauli in Hamburg

"Well.. Do you really feel comfortable? Yes, the building (a&o Hamburg Reeperbahn, formerly Hotel Stern, address Reeperbahn 152/154) actually has a connection to the Nazi era - it was not a direct concentration camp or large concentration camp, but it was used as a forced labour camp in 1940. The exact connection (based on historical sources): • The house was built in 1891 as a Logierhaus Concordia - a cheap lodging house for poor men (e.g. Sailors, travellers without a permanent residence). It had 235 small single rooms, shared toilets and was typical for the rough harbour and red light district of St. Pauli. • In the Nazi era (especially from the 1930s), the house was often used by the porters (caretakers) to denounce (advertise) guests. Many men (e.g. B. homosexuals, ***********, ”asocials”) were arrested there and imprisoned - this was unfortunately common in Hamburg's ”Kiez”. • From August 1940: There was a forced labour camp of Deutsche Werft AG (a large Hamburg shipyard). The company used the existing building as accommodation for forced labourers - prisoners of war (POWs), civilians deported from occupied countries and from 1944 also prisoners from concentration camps (concentration camp subcamps). The shipyard had several such camps (mainly in Finkenwerder and harbour area), and this one in the Reeperbahn was one of them. Exact numbers (how many people, conditions) are not well documented, but it was part of the huge system of forced labour in Hamburg (a total of 400,000–500,000 people affected). • A Stolperstein biography mentions e.g. B. that a French woman had to perform forced labour in 1944 as a kitchen assistant in the Reeperbahn 154 Foreign Home (during pregnancy) before she came to another camp. After the war it became a normal tourist home again, converted into an Eros Centre (a large *******) in 1964, later refugee accommodation (in the 80s very dilapidated), then from 1999 Hotel Stern and 2009 a&o. Well. We had a real good sleep anyway. The Bath Room is so warm and the elevator was real… you will see…. Danke ;)"

"The service was great that breakfast was not cheap with € 29 but great ! Unfortunately the dinner was not so good for us, so we also enjoyed it ONLY 1x !!! That was the washing basin in the living. /-sleep room is a little habitual, the industrial footing is unfortunately too cold in the cold season, for the use of TV, coffee machines, lighting, etc should there be a instruction for use !!! Unfortunately there are only few hotel parking sites and the entrance from the Str. is only to be seen on the 2nd view, if high traffic or bad view, the entrance should be better/previously detectable !!!"

"Located in the Santa Pauli area, very close to the bar and port! It is very convenient to walk to the subway and surrounding attractions. There is a small supermarket at the opposite corner."

"Checked in on Saturday, but the music from a nearby nightclub was loud all night and until after 7am the next morning. Sunday and Monday were quiet. The hotel provided earplugs instead. The hotel facilities were very old and not cleaned well, so there was a lot of dust. Parking reservations were required. The staff were friendly."

"Good hotel. Friendly staff. Clean room, comfy bed, reazonably priced. Next to Reeperbahn for all best clubs bars and adult entertainment in Hamburg. Good breakfast buffet and car parking facilities. Close by train station for access to all tourist attrations in Hamburg. Highly recommended."

"Convenient transportation, but the surrounding environment is a lot of idle people, I feel not so safe. But there are many bars and restaurants around, so there are many choices for eating and drinking."

"Very nice hotel in a central location with a beautiful view over the city"

"It was a nice business hotel. There is a restaurant on the first floor where you can have breakfast and it can also be used as a bar. It is close to the Reeperbahn, but as long as you don't take the wrong exit, the hotel is right outside the station, so it is easy to access and not very dangerous. However, on weekends, the siren can be heard until late at night."

"Super netter Service."

"The hotel is in a good location with convenient public transportation. There are many dining options nearby and the breakfast is also good. There is a park nearby with beautiful scenery, suitable for walking. The environment is very quiet, suitable for people who like quiet. The hygiene is slightly worse, and some waiters are not professional enough, there is room for improvement."
