Novum Hotel Eleazar City Center

Cheap Rooms in a Vintage Hotel Near the City Center

A Low-Cost Stay Near Interesting Destinations

The Hotel Eleazar Novum Hamburg City Center is located near the Bremer Reihe Hamburg main station making it easy for travellers to reach the property and check in. 

Walk to Interesting Tourist Sites

The hotel is within walking distance of the Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, also known as the Museum of Arts and Crafts. The museum follows the charter of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and focuses on collecting and displaying objects that are influenced by art. It has objects that date from the 13th century and goes all the way to the 20th. Some of the objects include a Taskin harpsichord, Art Noveau furniture and sculptures, and furniture by artists such as Paul Gauguin and Henry van de Velde. 

The Moenckebergstrasse shopping district is also near to the hotel, and is home to many famous brand-name stores. There are cafes and restaurants that set up tables outdoors so visitors can take a break from shopping. It's also closed off to most vehicle traffic, making for a calm and peaceful place to shop and eat.  

Hamburg City Hall is a bit further away, but well worth the trip as it is a historic building that is the seat of government. Guided tours are available.

Plenty of Amenities for a Comfortable Stay

The hotel has rooms in different sizes that include Economy, Queen, Standard, Comfort, and Family. Smaller rooms accommodate one to two guests and larger ones can hold three to four. All rooms have a flat-screen TV with cable channels, telephone, in-room safe, free wi-fi, soundproof windows and hairdryer. Larger rooms have a sofa bed for one person and a desk. Non-smoking rooms are available. Free newspapers are available in the lobby, and a free breakfast bufet is on offer.

The Bottom Line

Rooms are on the small side and the decor is a bit dated. Its strongest asset is being close to the Hauptbahnhof and subway stations, and easy to get to and from the airport. The area around the hotel has a bit of color to it, but it's otherwise safe. Maintenance of the little things in the rooms seems to be lacking. The walls are thin and sound transmits through them very easily, a potential issue for light sleepers. Breakfast is included in the price of the room, but it can be hit or miss.
