Hotel am Museum
Tucked into a handsome listed Altbau in Hamburg's Rotherbaum, this intimate guesthouse charms with its original stucco ceilings, an ornate fireplace, creaking parquet floors, generously proportioned rooms styled with a thoughtful blend of old and new, a secluded back garden, a convivial shared kitchen, and warmly attentive hosts Sebastian and Meikel who will serve you scrambled eggs at breakfast and go quietly out of their way to make your stay feel like a visit to particularly well-appointed friends, though those travelling light on compromise should note that the WC is shared and sits out on the landing.
