The best breakfast buffet in Europe. Great rooftop bar. The Empire Riverside is a modern, lively hotel that has turned itself into a nightlife destination.

Great Location, the view is fantastic and the rokms are nice

Donmp Germany

Staff were very helpful and accommodating when our flight was cancelled and we were easily able to extend our stay at minimal notice without having to switch rooms. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The bar on the 20th floor is also a massive highlight with amazing views of the port and a great selection of drinks.

Stephanie United Kingdom

Great location just off the Reeperbahn and near the river. Clean, comfortableand well run. Nice bar at lower floor. Great bar on the 20th floor with top music and fantastic views all over Hamburg city. The rooms were big with good facilities.

David United Kingdom

Really quiet and war-welcoming hotel. Personal outstanding
