Hotel ibis Styles Hamburg-Barmbek, Germany

• Cool and contemporary: For a fuss-free stay in Germany’s second-largest city, the recently opened Hotel ibis Styles Hamburg-Barmbek is a firm choice. Its convenient location (moments from Barmbek station) and distinctive design will impress from the first moment, as will its sleek facilities and comfortable eateries: no wonder it’s already been ranked in the top three hotels in the area on Tripadvisor.

• All-day eating: Breakfasts are a continental affair, with a buffet of delicious pastries, plenty of fruit, steaming coffee and bread rolls to fuel you up before exploring Hamburg. Come evening, The Bull Pub & Bar prepares homemade burgers and international favourites served in a laid-back setting, while the bar will quench your thirst with cool beers, exotic cocktails or fine wines.

• Modern guest rooms: Like the rest of the hotel, Comfort rooms are effortlessly modern, with wooden headboards, a desk and a chair framing a double bed. Stenciled wall art adds a sense of humour to the rooms, making each one a little unique and different. Ensuites feature a bath for a well-earned soak in the evenings, and each room also has a Smart TV so you can catch up on your favourite shows before bed.
