Just returned from 6 days in Hamburg. Great trip overall.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $43/night. Clean and close to everything.
The scene is decent. Prices ranged from moderate compared to my last visit.
Girls were friendly and attractive. I had 3 encounters over the trip.
Food was cheap and delicious. Found some amazing local restaurants.
Will definitely be back. Happy to answer questions.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.
