UNDERDOG HOTEL, Hamburg

Guests choose between room sizes S, M, L, & XL and favoured features. Rooms include a small desk, cable TV, a safe for laptops and a shower bath with a hairdryer.

The extra large double room offers more space.

The enchanting restaurant and bar Lütt Liv serves home baked cake and a vegan burger. The café in the calm patio serves breakfast. The bar offers other drinks perfectly suited to relaxed atmosphere. One of the best steaks in the city is served at the Bootshaus Grill & Bar on Kaiserkai. At the Restaurant Fischerklause, the chef still goes fishing himself: eel, pike, carp-all straight from the lake. The Café del Sol at the Country House offers international flair. DER HAMBURGER, Slowfood and Bib Gourmand all agree it is one of the best restaurants in Germany.

Around the harbour is the best place to take in the full aroma of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The Alster, Hamburg's most beautiful water sports area right at the city centre, is easily reached by bicycle. You can rent an Alster or sailing boat at Käpt' n Prüsse. Visit the Museum of Popcorn, which includes a playground and ball pool for adults. The premises of the former rubber goods company "New York-Hamburger Gummi-Waaren Compagnie " are the perfect location for the Museum der Arbeit: modern exhibitions, small and charming craft fairs, and in the print workshop, the smell of paper and colours. The Rolling Stones have already played at the open-air-stage, which hosts concerts of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists all through summer. At the Wilhelminian Villa so characteristic of Hamburg's architecture, you can find readings by high profile authors. You can see a replica of the abstract sculpture "Wasserspeier " by sculptor Richard Haizmann-one of 23 pieces of art to be found here.

Underdog Hotel is neither in the heart of the city, nor in the middle of nowhere but in Wandsbek, Hamburg. The love of the Chen family, originally from Qingtian by the river Ou, to their chosen home Hamburg is also to do with its location by the Elbe. To the left is the road Alter Wall with the Bucerius Kunst Forum, renowned for its well curated exhibitions, and Ladage & Oelke an English clothing shop with a very rich tradition. Underdog Hotel is 9 km from Dammtor and 5 km from Hamburg.

The spacious lobby with its wooden boxes, designer stools and comfy lounge chairs and sofas is full of life. The event room on the ground floor is the ideal location for seminars, workshops or conventions with up to 24 people. You can use the meeting, seminar or workshop room with everything you need for presentations or group work, from big screens to moderation equipment. The Hotel has neat details such as a ballet bar for a wardrobe or table football figurines as towel holders, and they simply put a smile on every guest's face.
