I Hamborg boede jeg en nat på det fem uge gamle 25hours Hotel Altes Hafenamt, som er åbnet i en smuk, fredet havnebygning. 25hours Hotel Altes Hafenamt gav mig den skønneste oplevelse, og alt var perfekt – fra morgenmadbuffeten, mit værelse, den lækre indretning, det venlige personale til, at man gratis kan låne retro Pelago cykler for at opleve Hamborg på den bedste vis. Hvis I endnu ikke har besøgt Hamborg, så giver jeg alle mine anbefalinger!

ENGLISH: Ever dreamt about staying a night in an former harbour office now turned in to one of the most hippest hotels in the center of Hamburg? I have, and last week in Hamburg I was so lucky to be invited to spend a night at the recently opened 25hours hotel Altes Hafenamt located in the HafenCity district of Hamburg. The hotel is brand new, five weeks old to be exact, but it was already perfectly decorated and everything on point.

The hotel is fairly small, it holds 49 rooms, but this is part of the charm. The hotel offers four different type of rooms, and I stayed in the xl-room, and it was amazing. I seriously wish that I could have taken most of the interior and style out of the room and brought it back home to my own apartment. There was an amazing, big bed, which is key for a good nights sleep when traveling. Then there was a cool book-shelve system, a big TV, a nice chill out “lounge” and, last but not least, great and spacious bathroom. My boyfriend and I loved the room so much that we decided to stay in a whole night and only went out to get dinner to come back right after. Yep, it was a really good bed 😉

After a good nights sleep, it was time for breakfast, and you guys know me. I love food! I am the kind of person that literally lives to eat and looks forward to the next meal as soon as I finish another. And, the breakfast buffet at 25hours Hotel Altes Hafenamt, which for the record, also has a Neni Restaurant as in Berlin, fully lived up to my expectations. This buffet held everything one could wish for – from breakfast classics such as scramble eggs, bacon and toast, to more Mediterranean inspired foods like hummus, tzatziki and olives, and not to forget the sweet stuff. There was a yogurt bar where one could mix their own breakfast bowl with different granolas, fruits and nuts. Yummy!

After breakfast and a bit more chilling in the room, as our amazing receptionist Rafael let us check out a little later than usually, it was time for us to head out and be tourists, and here we get to the best part of it all; 25hours Hotel Altes Hafenamt offers free bikes! How amazing is that? My favorite way to explore and get around cities is by biking, and how convenient is it that the hotel offers free bikes to their guests? And the bikes where beautiful! We had the best time biking around Hamburg on the hip and beautiful Pelago bikes, and we had such a great night staying at the 25hours Hotel Altes Hafenamt, whether it was the beautiful, old building, the cozy room, the breakfast, the friendly staff or the bikes that did it, or simply a mixture of them all! I would really recommend you to start planning a getaway to Hamburg asap, as it is definitely a great destination for a short weekendtrip!

Thank you, 25hours hotel Altes Hafenamt for an unforgettable experience!

My Berlin guidebook; Then we take Berlin

Then we take Berlin berlin guide

Big time teaser! Jeg har diskuteret lidt med mig selv, om jeg skulle vise jer min forside for bogen, før jeg egentlig officielt udgav den, og langt om længe blev det et ja – så her har I det! Min forside for Then we take Berlin, min personlige guidebog om Berlin, som mildt sagt har været noget af et projekt, byrde til tider, men selvfølgelig også en fantastisk oplevelse at skrive en bog, hvilket faktisk har været en drøm for mig, siden jeg var helt lille. Jeg har netop fået en mail fra UPS, der skriver, at min pakke med mine færdige bøger bør lande på min adresse i morgen, og jeg er så spændt! Jeg krydser dog også fingre for, at alt er som det skal være, og der ikke er gået noget galt i printet….

Hvad synes I om min forside? Folk der kender mig vil vide, at det lyserøde tema er lige i min ånd! Og forhåbentlig bliver mandlige læsere ikke helt afskrækket, for selvom min forside er lyserød, kan guidebogen stadig læses af mænd 😉

Apartment tour video – my Berlin apartment

Caroline Solver livingroom

Newest addition on the blog! Videos! I had my boyfriend filming me while I give a tour of the apartment, so today I am inviting you inside for an apartment tour video. Since we are just getting started with this video thing I already realize many issues with it – we should have filmed in the day light for better light and quality, and we also have to get A LOT better with working the whole camera focus… But for so far, this is as far as our filming talents go, and I hope you’ll enjoy the video anyway 😉
