The Vorbach is a traditional hotel in a very good area of Hamburg, i.e. the Rothenbaum. The Hotel has been refurbished and everything looks nice and clean. The room I had was big and what is sometimes very important well heated. The bathroom was high standard. Breakfast was ok, service very quick. The bed was horrible though. No comparison to the usually very good beds you get in the chain hotels. My back hurt after the night.
As much as I liked the old time grandeur of the hotel, it remains still only a three star hotel. If you come and don´t expect more than three star accomodation, you will have a good time.
