Scandic Hamburg Emporio

The Scandic Hotel Chain goes out of its way to provide a welcoming, comfortable and fully accessible stay for its disabled guests. All signs and lift buttons in braille. Some lowered counters at reception so wheelchair (scooter) users can actually see who they are speaking to. If there is anything extra needed for the room, they will bring it quickly. The whole accessible room is very roomy, with floors that are easy to wheel across. The bathroom has a shower with seat, and non-slip flooring. There are no grab rails by the shower, so I requested a seat with arms - it arrived minutes later. Grab rails by the toilet, which was raised. Bed very comfortable. There is a bar (free welcome drink) next to reception which also serves bar food. We ate there the first night as the restaurant was closed. Breakfast is wonderful - muelsi made from scratch: oats, seeds, nuts, dried fruits etc etc;. Scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, smoked mackerel, pickled herring, pastries, ....... Very good restaurant (not open Sundays).
