Das kleine Grindel, a 9.2/10-ratedboutique hotel near Hamburg Airport, is located in the Grindel area of Rotherbaum, formerly the Jewish quarter. The nearest underground station is Hallerstraße on the blue U1 line, and the train station Hamburg-Dammtor serves long-distance, regional, and suburban lines S11, S21, and S31. The hotel is 1.6 miles from Inner Alster Lake and within walking distance of the Alster meadows.
Elegant Rooms & Terraces
The two individually furnished rooms at Das kleine Grindel feature French wallpaper, English tiles, and custom-built furniture. Each room includes a desk, flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and a terrace with garden views. Guests can relax with a book in the reading chair or on the private terrace.
Diverse Dining Options
Café Leonar, located in the main building, offers a wide variety of breakfasts, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. The café operates from 9 am to 9 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 5 pm on Sundays. Middle Eastern, International, and European cuisines are served in a family-friendly, modern ambiance.
Park & Cultural Scene
The Alster Park, extending around the Alster lake, is ideal for relaxing in white garden chairs or watching the Alster swans. No fewer than 40 theatres with 50 stages offer cultural programs, and the Museum am Rothenbaum showcases ethnological exhibits. The Reeperbahn and Elbphilharmonie provide additional entertainment options.
Modern Comforts & History
Das Kleine Grindel provides free WiFi, daily housekeeping, and high-quality cosmetics from Brooklyn, New York. The hotel is housed in a restored 19th-century workshop, blending historical charm with modern comforts. The reception desk is located in Café Leonar, offering convenience for guests.
“The location is excellent. I noted the attention to detail inside, especially the welcome drinks and high-quality toiletries, yet it feels more like a self-catering apartment than a traditional hotel; check-in takes place at a nearby cafe. The courtyard setting and quiet environment are definite assets.”
