Where to stay in Hamburg
My stop this time could be called short-term, but not spontaneous. Therefore, having a margin of time, I began looking for housing directly from the textbook. Couchsurfing website. org was given a simple task to help me spend the night in Hamburg off the street and practically free of charge. Hoping for lightning success and the fact that I speak German, I forgot about all the problems for a while and let the situation sort itself out. But a couple of days before arrival, I had to sound the alarm. None of the interviewed guests was in a hurry to lend me their bed, warmth, well, a maximum of 7 minutes for everything about everything in the bathroom. I have never experienced such confusion. So many hopes, words, smiles of applicants and on you. The coaches from the sofas found all sorts of different ways to keep me out of the sofa.
By evening, gray thoughts came over me about the injustice, insignificance and meanness of humanity in my face, but also, no doubt, the owners of square meters in the German metropolis.
Desperation had to be overcome with the help of a proven Airbnb. com. The price of 20-30 euros for informal communication with German youth suited me before. But here comes the bummer. On this day, the German national team was chasing the ball with some other team and it seemed that all the youth of Hamburg were going to watch this event. Refusals in the style of “friends to me” and “I didn’t take beer on you” reddened my face and forced me to do thirty push-ups until the feeling of composure and superiority again corrected my own self-esteem.
The hostel option didn't work out from the very beginning. The basic version in the "nothing" format started from 14 euros. But even there you had to pay extra for a towel and bed linen.
I recalled student wanderings on native trains and the roar of the conductors: “You can’t use mattresses without a bed, ” from which the conductors’ cheeks and bust were shaking, and my arms and eyebrows.
And the locker, which was attached to the bunk for personal belongings, was very cramped for my luggage, which flaunted worn sides and stretched out my right arm unpleasantly. After clicking on additional options and looking for a better location, I got to the amount of 40 euros, which no longer sounded like “cheap”.
The desire to sleep at night, and even take a shower in their own penates, has already led to the search for a full-fledged hotel. This was more difficult, since the choice in the city is quite worthy. The price category here starts to fill up from 40 euros for one person. But, usually, starting positions are given to very creative places in the Sant Pauli area, and even in the neighborhood of the pimping Reeperbahn.
Someone, perhaps, will happily rub their palms, but I will be horrified and agree to a place in the 16th place, if only, if only ...
Also, the lower ratings are filled with hotels that are very good, with good arrangements and even breakfasts. But they are hopelessly far not only from the center, but also from metro stations. Well, spending an hour and a half on the road one way smacks of plundering precious time.
And then I remembered a wonderful place in the north of Hamburg, which filled my stay in the city with meaning, and my spiritual bins with warm bliss. My favorite Ohlsdorf and everything that adjoins it. In addition, oh my God, what luck, it is from there that the first three cars of the S-bahn depart, which take 10 minutes to the airport. Well, in the center, although not within easy reach, but it is quite simple and quick to get there.
So the choice was already made from the proximity to the indicated place, where I found an inexpensive hotel for 45 euros called Hotel Richter.
Within walking distance of Ohlsdorf and the metro station. Yes, and the presence of a shower, kettle and refrigerator in the room pleasantly warmed the soul. The check-in time was indicated as 14.00, but I usually spit on such conventions. Even in a crowded Disneyland, we managed to check into the room before the agreed time, but here ...
As I expected, I was allowed not only to leave my bag, but also to leave it in my own room. Having thrown off my armor and hastily stuffed everything I needed into my backpack, I hurried for emotions and impressions. And there wasn't much to see.
