  Great for training days or meetings, less for evening strolls

  17 Dec 2025

  Leonardo Hotel Hamburg Stillhorn did exactly what a business hotel should do: it kept things running smoothly while I got on with work.I stayed three nights on a work trip and spent a fair bit of time in the seminar rooms. The service was consistently solid, and the buffet lunch was genuinely good – the sort of “no drama, everyone’s fed” setup you quietly appreciate between sessions.Dinner, however, felt a little limited. In the evenings it was either the buffet in the restaurant (which was fairly empty when I looked in), or pizza via the bar or to your room. Delivery isn’t much of a backup plan here either – Lieferando options seemed pretty thin, simply because there’s not a lot around.The bar area is pleasant enough for a post-training beer, and the rooms are perfectly fine overall. One small practical downside (especially on a business stay): the desk in my room was quite narrow, so it’s fine for quick emails, but not ideal if you need to park a laptop there and use it as a proper replacement office for a few hours. Also, at least in my room, the window felt a bit dated, and with the room being warm I ended up opening it at night.That’s when the location makes itself known: the hotel sits right next to the motorway, so with an open window the noise can be a nuisance. Not the hotel’s fault, but worth knowing. Parking, on the other hand, is easy – ample spaces and no stress.Location-wise, it’s practical if you’re arriving by car and want quick access in and out of Hamburg. It’s less charming if you fancy a stroll with something to look at. There are options, though: Johannisberg isn’t too far by bus or about a 45–50 minute walk. A few participants took an Uber to a local S-Bahn station and headed into central Hamburg for the evening without much fuss. Also handy: Hamburg-Harburg station is a short taxi ride away, which is useful if you’re heading south and catching long-distance trains.Verdict: a reliable base for business meetings and training days; as a tourist stop, I’d probably look somewhere with fewer lorries and more atmosphere. Tip: if you’re a light sleeper, keep the window shut and ask for a quieter room away from the motorway side. Would I stay again? Yes – for work, not for a city break.

It is especially pleasing to know that you appreciated the service, our seminar facilities, and the buffet lunch — creating exactly the kind of “no drama” experience business travellers value is very much our goal.We also sincerely appreciate your honest and constructive comments regarding the evening dining options, the desk size in the room, and the noise when opening the window. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, as it helps us identify where improvements and adjustments can be made, particularly for guests who use their room as a temporary workspace. Your note about requesting a quieter room away from the motorway side is also a helpful tip that we will gladly continue to communicate to future guests.We are pleased that you found the bar area relaxing, the rooms comfortable overall, and the parking situation convenient.

  This is a great hotel with amazing value-for-money!

  If you are driving between Scandinavia and continental Europe, this is a perfect place to layover. It is right next to the major north-south autobahn through Germany and is literally seconds from the highway. The rooms are good-sized, the breakfast (included) is solid, the buffet restaurant is delicious and also reasonably-priced, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. You will not be disappointed with a stopver here!

  Close to the A1

  07 Nov 2023

  When you are driving on A1 and need a break for the night this is an excellent option. Just off the highway but not on one of the typical not so nice parking spaces slash petrol stations. The rooms were very well sound proofed so you did not get disturbed by the traffic at all.Bar stays open until midnight during the week so time to get a night cap if you are in the mood for that.Ok price and clean rooms. FO NYX, General Manager at Leonardo Hotel Hamburg-Stillhorn, responded to this review Dear Anna,your feedback is greatly appreciated. We're delighted to hear that our strategic location was convenient for your travels. It's encouraging to know that our soundproofed rooms and late-night bar service added to your comfort. We strive to ensure cleanliness is of the highest standard in our rooms, so we're pleased you found them to your liking.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Leonardo Hotel Hamburg Stillhorn in the future.Kind regards from Hamburg,Natascha Seba - Assistant to Operation Manager

  Not coming back!

  24 Jun 2023

  Booked this hotel for an overnight stay, driving from Stockholm to Brussels. Reasons for chosing this hotel particularly was close to the high-way, parking and a restaurant.Arriving at 20:00 hours after driving 995 km since early morning. The restaurant is closed and there is nothing open in the neigbourhood.My “superior room” has got at least 4 glasses and 2 cups but the minibar is empty and there is not even a bottle of water?! Incredible!! Will not come back!! Vivian Nolting, General Manager at Leonardo Hotel Hamburg-Stillhorn, responded to this review Dear Mats,thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It´s a pity that you did not enjoy your stay with us. We take the feedback from our guests very seriously and can learn a lot!Our rooms have not had a minibar for a few years. The drinks and snack machines are available for our guests in the hotel corridors.We apologize for any inconvenience caused and we hope you had a good trip to Brussels.It would be great if you give us a second chance so we can show you that we can do better!Sincerely from HamburgNatascha Seba - Assistant to Operation Manager

  Nice quiet hotel on the outskirts of town

  21 Jun 2023

  Conveniently located close to the highway and not far from town, but still in a nice quiet area. Good parking. Restaurant and bar in hotel as well, so if you are tired and don't want to go out to eat it's very convenient. They also had a vending machine for snacks, and free fruit. When we were there they only had buffet option for dinner, which didn't look that impressive, so we just had some pizza from the bar, and it was perfectly fine. The breakfast buffet was better. They had a tiny fridge in the room so we could keep some stuff cold ourselves, which was very practical. Comfortable bed, good size bathroom, very clean premises and nice employees. Vivian Nolting, General Manager at Leonardo Hotel Hamburg-Stillhorn, responded to this review Dear Kim,thank you for your nice feedback and your great words!We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon.Sincerly from HamburgNatascha Seba - Assistant to Operation Manager
