Reviews
TORTUE HAMBURG is the kind of place you stumble upon by accident and immediately wish you’d discovered years ago. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the city, it feels like stepping into a serene Tokyo alley — minimalist, elegant, and utterly calming. Soft lighting, warm wood tones, and delicate paper lanterns create an intimate atmosphere that’s perfect for date nights, quiet dinners, or celebrating life’s little victories.
But let’s talk about the food — because this is where TORTUE truly becomes legendary.
The sushi? Flawless. Each piece is a work of art — glistening fish, perfectly vinegared rice, and just the right amount of wasabi. The Otoro (fatty tuna) melted on my tongue like butter. The Hamachi was sweet, buttery, and fresh enough to taste like it had been caught that morning. Even their simple Tekka Maki (tuna roll) was better than anything I’ve had in Japan.
And the sashimi? Mind-blowing. A stunning platter of ultra-thin slices of yellowtail, scallop, sea bream, and salmon — each cut with precision, served chilled, and drizzled lightly with citrus soy. I closed my eyes after the first bite. That’s how good it was. You can taste the respect for tradition, the obsession with quality, and the soul behind every piece.
The rest of the menu doesn’t disappoint either — their miso soup is deeply comforting, their edamame perfectly salted, and their matcha tiramisu? A revelation.
Service is quiet, graceful, and intuitive. Our server didn’t rush us — they guided us through the menu with quiet confidence, offered pairing suggestions, and even brought out a complimentary dessert plate as a thank-you. It felt personal, not performative.
TORTUE HAMBURG isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. If you love sushi and sashimi done with reverence, elegance, and pure passion… this is your new sanctuary.
I’ve eaten at dozens of Japanese spots across Europe — none compare.
10/10. Five stars feels too small. Come hungry. Leave transformed. 🍣✨
Top-quality coffee and tea. An additional plus for the person who was always “at our disposal” and helped answer all our questions.
Liked · A fabulous location and a characterful hotel with great rooms and lots of history. Comfortable beds, great bathrooms and nice bathroom products.
Disliked · There was a vibe we all picked up on due the clientele which made it feel a bit like a hotel where folk bring their mistresses or a hangout for those who want to be seen. The restaurant price/quality ratio was off. Prices were equivalent to Michelan star restaurants in London but not to the same standard. They forgot to bring my desert but wanted to tell me a story about my whiskey.
Exquisite luxury, the service is impeccable, the quality of the hotel and amenities is excellent.
The team at the reception, extremely kind and respectful every time, the brasserie a 10/10. See you soon!
The standard doubles were OK - nothing wow. Tasteful and large enough, though the sofa faced in the opposite direction to the TV. No thoughtful touches whatsoever. Free minibar, but only soft drink. Tea bags, but nothing to boil water with. Nespresso machine but no milk, so it's black or nothing. So easy to put a little container of fresh milk in the fridge. No iron or board - something that's standard in every £60 Premier Inn room in the UK. No nibbles of any kind. 5 coat hangers in a double room. All pathetic at this price and level.
Worst of all - the room was stinking hot the whole time. It wasn't a heatwave - max about 18-19deg outside, but even with the temp control on full "cool" it was still too warm in the room. This is because they don't have aircon, but "air movement" - something with which I've had problems before in Germany. They're trying to be green, but it's a waste of electricity, as it has zero affect on room temperatures. I left the window open during the day, but on return each eve, the cleaner had shut the window leaving a too-warm room to try and sleep in. In a heatwave, this place must be more "Torture" than "Tortue".
They have a small cigar bar (Germany still, incredibly, allows smoking in bars. I say this as a smoker.) which vents into the courtyard. My partner's room smelled strongly of stale smoke, having left the window open for the same reason as I.
The location wasn't near anything we needed, so overall this was a very poor choice on my behalf. The hotel patently has a very high opinion of itself, and one which is not justified. Hamburg was great, but I would give the Hotel Tortue a wide berth in future,
I would like to add to this post 🥰
