We stayed several days at the Empire Riverside in a "Riverview" room on the 5th floor. The space of it was good (also Bathroom!). Large Windows from the top to the bottom pointing to the Elbe River,allowing a fantastic view. The room service was so so. The Bar on the top of the hotel allows an even more spectacular view....

Stayed one night in the hotel. Ideally situated to explore the Hamburger Hafen, as well as the famous Reeperbahn. I had a room on 4th floor, and therefore no view on to the harbor, but only on to the roof and AC-Installations of the restaurant part of the hotel. But this was not a problem for me, as I arrived...

Staying here for two nights during a conference has truly been an excellent experience. Friendly service, excellent rooms and a good location just around the corner from Hamburg's famous Reeperbahn. The in-house conference facilities were fine. So I would recommend it.

On a first visit to Hamburg, it was suggested we start with drinks at this bar. I enjoyed a Manhattan cocktail with wonderful evening lights overlooking the river. The nibbles kept on being replenished, the music was bright and right for the environment, and the drinks were reasonably priced - an excellent start to the evening.

The hotel was strategically located near the fishmarket, Reeperbahn and the harbour. Rooms were clean and tidy. 20UP skybar has amazing view (day/ night), it gets crowded on he weekends. On the whole great place to stay while in Hamburg

Cool and contemporary, the Empire Riverside is a corporate haunt of mine in Hamburg, and its charms range from the fabulous (20up, Waterkant, David’s sushi bar) to the frustrating (no WiFi, no kettle, flooded bathroom every morning from walk-in shower). The décor is sparse – it’s comfortable rather than comforting, and it lacks the luxuries you’d expect from a 4... More

I'm obviously too fussy but I do expect wifi to be available in my room if I choose to pay but it should be free these days rather than being given a cable at reception and told there is no wifi, especially at these prices. Breakfast was far too expensive with no difference between what you chose to eat.....€20 for... More

The hotel is located next to the "landungsbrücken" There is famous place of the lion king musical. This hotel offers a great view across the harbour. On the top of the hotel you´ll find one of the most popular bars in hamburg. The workers in the hotel are allways friendly and helpful. The shopping district (Mönckebergstraße) is only 5 minutes...

The Empire Riverside is a wonderful and unique hotel located right at the river Elbe and provides an amazing view over the City or the harbour. It’s just great – we go there frequently it possible. You don’t have to take a room in the 15th floor to enjoy the view. Even 8+ floor offers a stunning view
