Great location. Very close to Landingbrucks s- and ubahn. There is a REWE supermarket behind the hotel.
Hotel was very clean, comfy, quiet and safe.
Self- check in and out was very easy
I celebrated my birthday in Hamburg and the staff surprised me with a gift!
Try the Portugese restaurants on the same street.
Highly recommend!!

The self check in went easy enough although had already done most of it online. Room was great with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Probably only thing that could have been better was the cleaning on the 3rd day which was fairy pointless other then changed towels. We ended up with nothing to wash up with as the cleaner took it!

It was our second stay at clipper boarding house, and we really like both the apartment and location. Easy check in and our.
Only thing that was bad for os was the pillows were very soft / bad for our necks, and the air was dry / as it is in some apartments.
But clipper boarding is our favourite place to stay.

Overnight stopover.
This was a lovely one night stop near the Portuguese area of Hamburg. Easy to walk around and also easy to get lost. Room was lovely and spacious. Very clean. Staff friendly only issue was the language barrier. But you can work through that.

QR code provided to enter building wasn’t working, wasn’t clear how I could get in to start check in process. Eventually figured out (touch screen on the side to contact security). Other than that, the property was excellent. Clean apartment, friendly and helpful staff.

Good location. Near to public transport, cafes and restaurants. There is also a well stocked Rewe supermarket nearly.
The bells sounding from St Michael's church can be a little annoying in terms of noise.
Large, will presented room that was well furnished and supplied with crockery, cutlery etc. The room had a good sized fridge, a microwave/grill, electric stove top, a kettle, Nespresso machine, and a toaster. Larger mugs for tea would have been helpful.
There were only really two items that fell short.
The bed was on the firm side for my preference and all the pillows were saggy.
The check in/check out process was reasonably straightforward although you do need to remember your booking reference number to make things a little easier.
I would would happily stay there again.
