Hotel Bee Fang

We stayed for a night between changing trains. The location was great from the train station and it is next to a small square with plenty of eating options. Rooms was bigger than expected. Ours had a small desk and even a sofa. The room was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay again and hopefully longer. This is a place that you can easily stay in for a longer stay.

If you consider booking a room in this place, consider the following: after room reservation on Booking.com, I had a medical emergency, so I was not able to come and stay in this place. In the end, I had to pay more money for not showing up than for the room itself (in case everything would have been fine on my side). Great business.

I've been going to this hotel for a number of years and I just love the old style. I also see how much passion, energy and love the family puts into this hotel. The hotelier also takes great care of the hotel guest and is always available for advice and action. Courtesy and respect is the order of the day in this house and if you just want to experience this old flair and still be right in the center this hotel is just very ideal, even on a small budget. For backpackers or a short trip to Hamburg, this hotel in the Georgsviertel in the center is simply ideal and you can reach so many beautiful and worth seeing places, the Outer Alster, Inner Alster can be reached in a few minutes on foot. I can recommend this hotel again and again and we look forward to going there again soon...

I knew going in that Hotel Bee Fang wasn’t going to provide me with a guest experience to write home about. Most reviewers agree that the owner(s) aren’t overly interested in providing guests with a comfortable, service oriented hotel experience.

This hotel is simple, worn and torn and offers nothing else than a place to rest your bones. The walls are wafer thin and noise leaks in from all of them – as well as from the ceiling and floor.

I’ve stayed in a few sketchy hotels all over the world, including some dirt cheap plaes in China, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. You get what you pay for and that’s exactly the positioning of Hotel Bee Fang.

They don’t care about you as a guest or if you ever return. You’re a number, a €, $ or a ¥ and I would guess that the owner(s) certainly don’t read or care about reviews of this kind. Which is perfectly fine. Just realize this before booking a room there.

All of the above aside, upon arriving, I was actually pleasantly greeted by a fellow working at the reception. We had a nice chat for a while and he even took time to show me how to get to a few places in Hamburg on a map and finally gave me instructions on how the entrance beeper worked. Before taking the elevator to my room’s floor, the same fellow told me that check out time was at 10 am, which shocked me a little as this an unusually early checkout time for a hotel.

And that's the thing about Hotel Bee Fang. The relatively cheap room rate comes with some caveats. In addition to the noisy, no-frills room experience and the absurdly early checkout time, the hotel will also charge you €6 for every hour after checkout and €2/hour to keep your bags stored in their care.

In the US, Bee Fang would be called a flophouse or at best a cheap motel. With it’s central location near the train station Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and affordability, Hotel Bee Fang served its purpose perfectly for me. But I don’t think I’ll be staying there again any time soon.

The staff was extremely welcome but other then that the place wasn’t worth it. The room was dirty, the hotel is not cozy at all. Only good if there is no other options and it’s only for 1 night.

I got in touch with the hotle more than 24 hours prior to checking in to ensure contactless checkin. Long story short I had to book another hotle.

I called their hotle reception multiple times no answer. I sent my ID to their booking.com messenger and their what's app number. No reply.
Finally more than 36 hours later they messaged me a code for contactless check in. I replied, I told them I had to book somewhere else to stay and I wouldn't be using the reservation (as they did not respond and they had no reception working I could nit enter the hotle).

I was then alerted by my bank they tried charging my card for the reservation I could not use.

Not to mention the hotel is in a very sketchy area its not the kinda place you want to be wandering around wondering where you will sleep.

Cheap but not worth the risk.

Terrible dirty rooms and overall dated look. 200€ for a room which was small, hot, nasty and overall undesirable. There are much better places for that kind of price.
