Pierdrei Hotel HafenCity Hamburg

We were in Hamburg to see Minatur Wonderland, and this hotel is walking distance away. Turned out to such an amazing, quirky, enjoyable place. The staff is great, all speak fluent English. The morning breakfast is awesome, they have a huge theater where we watched the Olympics every night, a cool rooftop bar area and throughout the building these little vignette model scenes literally built into the walls. There's a whole area of stores and restaurants literally next door, bus stop right out front and walking distance to the train. But this is what we will take away from our stay at the Pierdrei. At 430am on our 3rd night, the fire alarm with off. We could smell smoke, my kid was terrified as we all ran out. Someone from the hotel came out to talk to us and keep us informed I told my wife "He looks JUST LIKE the guy from the Wunderland." It was. It was Fredrick. (The brothers are part owners.) At *5am*, making sure we all were ok.(It was a fire in the ceiling above the theater.) When we checked out a couple days later, there was a toy truck from Minatur Wonderland waiting for my kid. "Freddy wanted all the kids who went through that to have something because it was so scary." I hope to get back to Hamburg a couple more times in my life and I will always stay here when I do.

The hotel was very modern and the room well set up for young children, the bathroom was large enough with a separate toilet. Even though car parking was included and was secure we had to pay a reduced rate which was unexpected.
