Scandic Hamburg Emporio

The location was good for walking most places in Hamburg, felt safe at night. The room was spacious, and light with big windows, and had lots of storage with all the built-in furniture. The bathroom was great, and spotless (not sure why the bottle opener was mounted on the wall in there though)

In the bar they would not bring tap-water - even as an addition to other, pricier, drinks. The barman implied I was tight, saying 'you don't want to pay for water' but I dislike the ecological effect of purchasing plastic bottles, or a heavy glass bottle which has been transported when there is perfect water in the tap anyway. Coming from a hotel which sees itself as eco-conscious this was disappointing.

Good breakfast and location is not far from station

The evening meal on half-board is poor. Poor options available and I think we should be able to have the option of paying a little more for a la carte menu
