While staying
in Hamburg, I was put up at
Superbude, a super-funky, super-cool hotel/hostel. Now the "hostel" word can scare some - thoughts of sharing bathrooms with dirtbag hippie backpackers and all - but there was nothing "hostel" about the Superbude.

Apparently "bude" is German slang along the lines of "pad" - where you live. My German friends liked the name of the place.

Decorated by young artists and it shows...

The kitchen is done in a hipster-loft style...

Typical Euro-style (small by our standards), and oh-so-green. Green Laker green.
really green - other rooms are red, pink, etc.

Mouse and rat traps to hold menus and the like. Some rooms have toilet plungers mounted to the walls as coat racks.
The wall-mounted flat-screen went unused while the free WiFi
was used. The bed, while firm and virtually on the floor provided a good night's sleep. Pretty cool for €80 per night. The good breakfast added only €7 and parking a reasonable €4.
A couple more shots. First the outdoor lounge, as viewed from the fifth floor.

And remember - bird is love.
whatever that means
