Tips & Bits

The Hip New Superbude
It's cool. It's fun. And it's cheap. Hamburg's new Superbude Hotel is just what young and old Americans are looking for in Europe this year with our weak dollars. Opened last month it's sure to be the hottest and hippest hotel to premiere in the city. Rooms are modern and available in six colors (think red, pink, green, blue, brown or grey). You pick your favorite. Bathrooms are small but as the Superbude says "You think a shower is just a shower? Then try this – turn the red light on and the mirrors become your own private disco! The shower head is your mic, so get ready to be your new SUPERstar!" Centrally located in the heart of the city, Superbude is priced at 59 – 89 euros for a double room with bath and flatscreen TV. For more information, visit www.superbude.de.
