"I really like the number of food choices at this train station. There 's pho, sandwiches, Italian, kebabs, sushi etc. The prices were all really reasonable except the fresh fruit juice. What I didn 't like was the lack of escalators going down to the track numbers. It 's a busy train station so I know it wasn 't just me with a suitcase or two. They clearly understand that people have luggage because there 's escalators going up. So....if you know people who arrive at Hamburg train station need to get up the stairs, wouldn 't it make sense that the same people departing need to go down to get on a train? Other than that, it 's a train station. There 's nothing to love about it or hate about it. It looks historical and very utilized compared to the glitzy look of the Berlin one. Tip: pretend not to speak English or German as the beggars walk the tracks trying to ask for money. One in particular was quite rude and yelled at us when we cut him off and said sorry, no English ."
