Hotel Wedina an der Alster

The hotel consists of 5 different buildings. Check-in was in one building and my room was in another building down the street. There are no elevators and floors start with 0 instead of 1. When I booked my room I noted that I needed a ground floor or 1st floor room due to ACL reconstruction and ankle reconstruction surgery. (My trip to Germany was 3 weeks and I knew my luggage would be heavy.) However, when I checked in I was given a room on the 4th floor. The hotel does not have people to help with luggage. The room did not have air conditioning. Which would have been fine but it was really hot. This hotel is close to a lot of restaurants and the main train station. If I had lighter luggage and it was cooler weather I would have enjoyed my stay much more.

Fantastic location, very pleasant and convenient. Quirky and simple hotel with amazing bathrooms. Lack of air conditioning let it down in the hot summer!

I stayed here for three nights and it’s taken me another three to catch up on sleep! AWFUL mattresses, old and cheap. The first night I was awake every hour trying to sleep in a sagging mattress that had my back aching in two hours (I’m 40, fit and usually sleep like a cat). The room was a single in their ‘blue house’ which looked nothing like the pictures of the single on the website. It was so narrow I could barely get my case down the side of the bed- which was subsequently scuffed from everyone else doing the same. It felt like a cheap hostel and I certainly wasn’t spending another night in it! They changed my room with no fuss, and apologised that the rooms in the ‘blue house’ are ‘less recently renovated’. Hmm. The second room was better, though the mattress was still soft and lumpy. I got the feeling this hotel spent their budget on the concrete walls and had run out when it got to the important stuff like mattresses and towels (which were small and thin, just not good quality). I got a ‘special deal’ pre-paid on this site, 250 euros for three nights- the rooms wouldn’t justify the price even with a sleepable mattress but honestly, I’d not sleep there again for any price. It’s a shame! It was otherwise clean and the staff are friendly enough.

Great, recently renovated hotel. No breakfast area due to ongoing renovation. Breakfast area was temporarily moved to cafe nearby. Renovation was done greatly! Nice, new and spacious rooms in good area for great price

Good location and a really sweet, quaint hotel!! Staff were super friendly - would definitely come back and stay.
