Hello, Thank you for staying with us. We often have people coming through to look at the photo of the lady and baby on the stairs which we have behind the bar. Thanks again, The Empire Hotel

The old hotel is a bit tired these days, but key facilities like bathrooms have been recently renovated, and the historic dining room has been preserved in great condition. Overall an enjoyable stay if you want a taste of old Queenstown.

Hi Jo, I understand that their was an issue with the room, however you did book a Quadruple (2 bunks) shared Budget and we upgraded to the best room we had available, which was a Queen and Single with shared facilities. As I explained at the time, our Hotel was almost fully booked and we did not have any ensuite rooms available. This booking was made through a third party booking system and we did the best we could to accommodate and upgrade you from the Budget room that you had booked. Thank you, The Empire Hotel

The Empire Hotel is central to everywhere you might want to go. Across from the train station, close to supermarkets, museums and cafes. The rooms are exactly as listed, basic but very clean with a comfortable bed. The bathrooms are shared, but looked brand new and were spotless. The menu for the dining room is decent and the food I had was good. All staff were friendly and efficient. If you're looking for budget accommodation and don't mind shared amenities, The Empire Hotel is definitely worth considering.

Old character building was nice. Customer service very average and dinner one of the worst I have ever had. Our room on second floor with window facing back of the building and with no fan or air conditioner we had to keep the window open. Below our window seemed to be their smoking area with staff and others smoking, at times very loud and swearing. I would stay at this hotel again.

Our room had no window to outside. It had a small internal window into a landing. The room had no bin and no wardrobe. Our towells weren't replaced and our beds weren't made. We expected more for over $100 per night in a country town

Lovely old building with gorgeous staircase, and nice and warm. But: Beds too small. Breakfast poor and not healthy; no soy milk available, no fruit, no yoghurt, just terrible, cheapest instant coffee, orange juice, bread and cereal. Had to hunt down a staff member to ask for bowls then mugs. Lack of provisions ie no hand wash, shampoo etc. At least it had a common room with a kettle and microwave.
