Reichshof Hotel Hamburg

2/10 Terrible
"Planned a trip with a wonderful to be stay here but they overbooked the rooms and when I arrived from overseas was sent to a much lesser hotel by them. Manager seems like he couldn’t wait to get us out of there and was very condescending. Can’t stand Hamburg now because they ruined our visit. We were there to sightsee and to have a hotel within walking distance to the Central Station-where they sent us was in the suburbs with no sightseeing places. Terrible place now and I won’t ever recommend."
