Hotel Wedina an der Alster

Breakfast, location Absent of lift

A beautiful patio (summertime). The library in the breakfast room

The staff were friendly and helpful. My wife was very pleased to find a receptionist knowledgeable about where to buy gluten-free foods. I was pleased to find a hotel with good quality wi-fi for internet access - and it was free. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Service of tea or coffee at the breakfast table could be better.

A very quiet hotel close to a gay friendly area. the only minor point is that this hotel does not have a lift which may be could be a problem for some people.

Prior to this trip, we have always had superb service. Unfortunately, this year one of the receptionists at the desk was not up to the usual Wedina standards. That is why I rated staff as "fair" and not the usual "excellent". Hopefully, this will be corrected.

Location was ideal for the Hbf and for the bars/restaurants of the St Georg district. We were on the third floor and there was no elevator. The room was very small and bore little resemblence to much of the description of the hotel. The decor in the room was very plain - white with one small picture: where was the 'literary' ambience? Given the price and description of the hotel we felt overall that we got pretty poor value for over €100 per night.
