Excellent patio and stay

I've enjoyed this property once more. The terrace is wonderful, and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. With the change in temperature, it was a shame that the room had no A/C. My main complaint was the amount of mosquitoes that came into my room in one afternoon. It was unbearable.

Very Nice hotel in a fantastic setting. Restaurant, reception etc beautiful. The rooms are a bit dated for a 5 star hotel and no air condition so room was a bit too warm at night

Make sure you have time to sit on the terrasse overlooking the Elbe. The ginger lemonade is a bit too strong for my taste, but everything else is absolutely perfect! Well done.

Very nice hotel located right to the Elben canal. Good service, nice rooms and fine food

Wonderfull location at the Elbe and nice walks. Love the feeling of heritage on the place and we see you carry much about that. Autentic stories can not be bought. Will come back

This hotel is very special. It is located in a leafy, quiet and beautiful area outside the hustle and bustle of Hamburg. The room was huge, and beautifully decorated, on a lovely courtyard. The highlight is the Linden Terrace which looks out on the river. Stunning. Excellent food. Book the restaurant before you arrive as it gets full.

The view by the river Elba was fantastic. The breakfast was excellent. The property’s furniture was dated. We requested a twin bedded room in one of our 2 rooms at least a couple of months before arrival. The hotel responded by saying they would do their best to accommodate our request. On checking in, we were told our booking did not ask for twin bedded room. We would expect for a 5* hotel, this sort of request was not out of the ordinary. If there was nothing available , then they should have informed us when it was requested at the time or before arrival. The response at the check in desk was disappointing. After waiting for well over 45 minutes, we were eventually given a twin bedded room but in our opinion, we should not have to argue with the check in staff with our request. After all, a 5* hotel should be welcoming whatever it takes and not to cause unease with their guests particularly on the day of arrival. We did not expect this from Hotel Jacob!

Super fedt hotel

Always a wonderful, classic hotel stay. And the hotel Team are wunderbar!

Waited long time to get drinks, two was wrong made. Breakfast should be ordered the evening before, but it took very long time to get something to eat and we did not get what we ordered. Dining: the menu card could have been from a bistro, except the prices. The quality of the food served did not correspond to the prive level. The hotel is well maintained and clean, the terrace fantastic on a warm evening, but the service and quality at the bar and restaurant should improve. Roms are nice but without A/C or ventilation. All in all overpriced.

Staff are top notch! We felt like guests in a home! Thank you!

Beautiful hotel and wonderful stay! The room was a little stuffy at night but apparently I didn’t realize I could open the windows. Lovely staff, will definitely be back!

We have been staying at LCJ for 7 years and unfortunately seen a dramatic decline in the last few years. Most of the staff inc reception look like they don’t like working there giving a uneasy atmosphere. Lack of service staff available also meant you had to wait so long to order drinks in the outside area. On checking out there was no one available to help with the bags to the car resulting in us grabbing the porter trolley ourselves and wheeling it with our luggage past reception through the hotel with the staff just ignoring the situation. This would never of happened a few years ago...such a shame because it was an institution in Hamburg in when you stayed there you were made so welcome and it felt special.

Very good hotel and located in the suburbs of Hamburg in a really nice green area. While the hotel is divided up in two main buildings, I can't see that as a problem, since it easy to access via underground access tunnel or the quick route by crossing the street. Has two really nice restaurants including a bar which also service nice food. Also, like the interior in the rooms as it's art deco inspired. If I should find one thing which could be improved then it's the ventilation during the high peak summer days where the room tend to get a bit warm since there is no individual air condition.

Great service. Located away from the city but if you are looking for a quiet place - this is it! The Airbus factory is across the river if you like aviation.

Beautiful area, nice walking paths, bit remote from rest of city...

I was really looking forward to my stay at this hotel. Unfortunately it turned out to be spectacularly unimpressive. It's one of those places that believes it's own publicity but in my view fails to live up to it's own standards. The place is just too fussy. Before arrival I had been sent a voucher promising me a room upgrade. I definitely didn't get that upgrade. I'm not actually sure I even got the room I booked. The room was cold, the pillows were paper thin and the blackout curtains were not even big enough for the window they claimed to black out. Wifi is very poor. Fitness centre is too hot. To reach the room I had to use 3 lifts. Apparently I had a €10 food and beverage voucher at my disposal. The reception staff knocked €3.70 off my bill - the price of a bar of chocolate which according to the room service menu is €4.50. They also tried to bill me for 4 breakfasts when I had in fact eaten none. Yes, the place is comfortable and clean. Yes, the decor is tasteful and well presented, but overall this hotel is severely lacking in charm and comfort. There are very many hotels in the Hamburg area which are far better at giving guests what they want with the minimum of fuss than this hotel seems capable of doing. If you really must choose your pillow from a list including cherry stone, flax, horse hair etc. then be my guest but it's not for me I'm afraid. Me, I just want a medium-firm pillow, and the hotel I am in right now has provided exactly that. Without any pretence.

One-off the best hotel in hamburg from service and hospitality

A great place to stay. Very scenic location. Great restaurants. A bit away from town centre but worth it. Just beautiful.

Hotel Jacob in Hamburg deserves truly excellent ratings as the hotel is very unique in any regards. The location, the site and its history, the boutique hotel's concept, its preservation of its culture and traditions and its successful blending towards today's guests expectations are all excellent - what is additionally outstanding is the young staff being extremely motivated, professional and friendly indeed. It is simply a great pleasure being at this hotel and I most definitively developed a true craving to return as soon as possible! It was a pleasure being 5 days at Hotel Jacob thanks to this wonderful and rich place! Thank you. Norbert Heitmann

Exceptional service. Made to feel very welcome. Lovely location on the banks of the river. Ferry stop a 15min walk so easy access if visiting Airbus.

Very old world with excellent decor and comfort. A hotel experience worth having

Divine!!!

we like to be guests of this house since many years. It was always reliable, their quality is stable. We enjoyed of course sitting outside under the "Linden trees" for ship watching at the Elbe, just opposite of the big AIRBUS plant. Planes are starting and landing, and we are zipping at our cups of coffee or tea (or other delicious items offered). Seeing forward for some more occasions being there in future ...

Hamburg is beautiful but oh so crowded. No place to park for sure. Hotel was very nice but very confusing. 3 different elevators to get to our room. Service was very good. Very clean. And bedding was fab!

Our stay at Louis C Jacob was nothing short of amazing. We stayed for 1 night with our two little girls, 2 and 5. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The service was second to none. Our room had been set up with beds for the girls, a little table with sweets, fruit and water. There were also some toys and the most adorable children bathrobes. Finally, special children’s bath bombs and bubbles bath was arranged in the bathroom room. My girls had the time of their lives and felt so special and spoiled thanks to the amazing staff. I can go on as we had a similar experience in the restaurant in the evening but I think it’s clear that Louis C Jacob has my warmest recommendation, both as a couples stay but also if you have brought your children along for the stay.

We stayed for a few days there as a family of four in a suite, it was fantastic in any means, will plan to come back next year for vacation.

Hotel matches Hamburg's upscale persona. Royalty and high powered families have stayed here. Hotel has a lovely terrace overlooking the Elbe as well as two lovely restaurants that serve gourmet food. It is away from the bustle of the city-- nice and quiet. A hotel of choice if your standards are high and you wish to be treated with utmost respect. Modern art that adorns the hallways and some rooms are noteworthy and some are museum quality. They all contribute to the feeling that you are in your own private northern German mansion.

The staff here was amazingly helpful. Rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable. While my work did not afford me time to dine in the hotel, I wish I did have leisure time to enjoy their incredible facilities. Views are amazing! Easy access to walk along the Elbe River is a major plus. Bus #36 stopped steps away from the hotel which made commuting into downtown Hamburg a breeze.
