Well-kept rooms, a two-minute walk from the S-Bahn and a host who still welcomes you himself. Book directly with us and get the best rate, without going through a portal.
Hotel Süderelbe is an independent hotel in the middle of Hamburg-Harburg. No head office decides what your stay looks like here, we do. You notice it in the personal welcome, in well-kept rooms and in honest prices.
On a quiet street, yet only a short walk from the S-Bahn. Whether you are here on business, visiting family or spending a few days in Hamburg: you stay central, get around quickly and are treated as a guest, not as a booking number.
No self-service check-in machine, no call centre. You are welcomed in person, by the people who run the hotel themselves and are glad you came.
Single and double rooms have their own bathroom, every room has Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. In the group room the four bedrooms share one bathroom. Simple, clean and with everything you need for a quiet night.
For 1 guest
Compact and comfortable for solo travellers and business guests. With your own bathroom and Wi-Fi.
For 2 guests
Room for two, with either a double bed or twin beds. Ideal for a city break, for couples and for colleagues travelling together.
For up to 5 guests
Our largest unit: one double room and three single rooms sharing one bathroom. Good for groups, families and anyone travelling together who still wants a room of their own.
How the day starts here: a fresh buffet, a bright room and time to arrive properly.
The morning sets the tone for the day. So you start yours calmly: with a fresh breakfast in our bright breakfast room, before heading into Hamburg or on to your next appointment.
Breakfast can be added on request. Just let us know with your enquiry.
Booking portals take up to 15 % commission, and that money ends up in the room rate. Ask us directly and you skip that detour. You speak to the host straight away, get the best rate and can arrange things flexibly.
A quiet side street, and still only a short hop from the station, the restaurants and central Hamburg.

Your room is ready from 2 p.m., and on the day of departure we ask you to vacate it by 11 a.m. If you need it earlier or for longer, just ask: if the room is free, we will make it work. Our reception is staffed daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The train was late, the meeting ran over: if you arrive later, your room key is waiting in the key safe right by the entrance. We send you the code in advance, so you can get in at any hour.
Just let us know roughly when you expect to arrive when you enquire.
You stay right in the heart of Harburg: shopping, food and central Hamburg are all on the doorstep.
Right by the station, one of the largest shopping centres in southern Hamburg: over 100 shops, cafés and restaurants under one roof.
This historic cobbled lane is where Harburg goes out: restaurants, cafés and pubs for a relaxed evening.
Green space in the middle of town: a footpath runs right around the Außenmühle lake and through Harburg city park. The nicest way to clear your head after a long day.
Maritime character on the water: the old harbour with its canals and restaurants is a favourite spot for a walk along the quay.
Elbphilharmonie, Landungsbrücken, Jungfernstieg: from Harburg station the city centre is about fifteen minutes away by train.

If you contact us through the form or by email, we process the details you provide to handle your enquiry and any necessary follow-up questions. For enquiries about a booking or stay, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR; for other enquiries it is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries. The required checkbox merely confirms that you have read this privacy information. It is not consent to an international data transfer.
We use Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA) for hosting, protection and server-side processing. We use Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc., USA) to deliver enquiry and review emails and to process technical delivery events. Depending on the operation, this may include your name, email address, message content, booking or guest identifier, and delivery metadata. The providers are engaged under data processing agreements. Where data is transferred to the USA or another country without an adequacy decision, the providers state in their data processing agreements that they use the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary safeguards. Resend states that account and customer data, including email metadata, logs and API records, is stored in the USA even when emails are dispatched from Ireland. Selecting an EU sending region therefore does not mean that data is stored exclusively in the EU. More information: Resend Data Processing Addendum, Resend regions, Resend subprocessors, Cloudflare Data Processing Addendum, and Cloudflare subprocessors.
After a confirmed booking we use your name, email address and the planned departure date stored with the booking to send you one review request on the following day, which also invites you to stay with us again. If the departure date changes before dispatch, the email date moves with it; no review email is sent after a cancellation or a stay marked as a no-show. There is no reminder and the delivery provider does not perform open or click tracking for this email. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in direct marketing towards our guests under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 (3) of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG). We record the time, method and text version of the objection notice so that its provision can be demonstrated. You may object to the use of your address for such messages at any time with effect for the future by emailing info@hotel-suederelbe.de and, after receiving the email, through its unsubscribe link. This costs you nothing beyond the basic transmission rates. An objection before dispatch blocks the review email permanently; you suffer no disadvantage from it. For guests who gave us express consent before 16 August 2026, that consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR remains the legal basis; it can be withdrawn at any time by the same means.
When you open your personal review link, the application records without cookies whether the feedback page was opened, private feedback was submitted and the external Google link was clicked. The stored data consists of the guest identifier, a test variant assigned before any rating, the event and its timestamp. The application does not store an IP address or browser identifier for this purpose. A link click does not show whether a Google review was published. Each pilot event is deleted no later than 120 days after it was collected. Google processes data only after you deliberately open the external link.
By default this website sets no analytics cookies. Only if you explicitly consent in the cookie banner do we load Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.) for anonymised audience measurement. This may involve transferring data to Google servers in the USA; your IP address is anonymised in the process. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The location map is first shown only as an image served from our own server. The interactive map is loaded only once you explicitly click “Pan and zoom the map”. Doing so retrieves map tiles from OpenStreetMap and CARTO and transmits your IP address to those providers. Without that click, no transfer takes place. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
This website uses locally hosted fonts. No data is transferred to Google Fonts or any other third party.
When this website is accessed, our hosting provider processes technically necessary connection data, in particular the IP address, time, requested address, referrer and browser identifier. This serves secure delivery and abuse prevention on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Personal review and unsubscribe tokens can technically form part of a request address; access to such logs must therefore be restricted and retention limited to what is necessary for operation, security and troubleshooting. The application itself does not add tracking profiles to these server logs.
You have the right at any time to access, rectify, erase and restrict the processing of your data, as well as a right to object and a right to data portability. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the address given above.
