    The room is very nice. The bed was two separate mattresses, which is not very comfortable, but when they added a top, it was fine. Breakfast is fabulous and the location is best in Hamburg.

    Beds aren't anything special at all. Generally it felt like any 3* Hotel except having a better view and fancied up lobby. However, the bathrooms were lacking in overall value and the surrounding area isn't anything you'd want your partner to wander around alone in.

    The View was exquisite after asking for an Upgrade to the 19th Floor (previously 4th floor which was bad!). Rooms were very quiet, couldn't hear anything from the hallways whatsoever.

    We were very dissapointed that Skybar wasnt accessible with my child, and we couldnt find information of age limits from your website.

    Wellness center was great. We enjoyed to relax there after a long day.

    Surprisingly, there is no coffee, tea or water in the rooms and are not provided. Haven’t seen such in 4 star hotels and breakfast could be improved.

    Good location, beautiful hotel and very very comfortable beds. The rooms are spacious and nicely designed.

    Hotel was superb. We got a little tired of the uphill steps during the 800m walk from the S-Bahn station…

    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.

    There was no natural mineral water in the fridge. Also, while I had not paid a price with breakfast in the booking, the hotel included breakfast in the final price!

    the rooms were quite standard, regular size and no decorations - would have expected more for the price. however the view made up for it.

    the view was great and the staff helpful and polite. the location was also excellent.

    There is no EV chargers in the parking basement under the hotel. You have to find a charging spot on the streets. A number of 11 kW chargers for hotel guests would be a significant improvement.

    Location and breakfast are great. if you are so lucky to get a room with a view over the harbour it is fantastic. There is a bar on the top if you do not like Reberbahn. The harbour waterfront, Fishmarket, St Pauli and Reberbahn are in walking distance. Public 50 kW EV chargers on the streets outside but only one hour charging and three hours for the 11 kW chargers.
