Been thinking about visiting Hamburg and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

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

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $138/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
