Thank you

An impressive old lady of a building. Possibly Heritage Rating. Rooms were newly renovated with good taste in colour. a small sitting room on the first floor needs renovating badly. Very small room with no possibility of fitting a wardrobe to hang clothes. No place to place toiletries. we stayed there for 3nights and had a room with a window that faced a brick wall. Price included a continental breakfast that was help your self. Plenty to eat. For the first two mornings, we were served by an awesome elderly lady, Shirley who kept everything topped up and met all our needs. She was missed on our last morning when things at the breakfast bar were not topped up and we had to constantly knock at the kitchen door for service. We had dinner there on our last night and were very happy with what we ordered.

Staff were great, friendly local, great food, charming old pub. Not 5 star, considering the age, pretty good. Who needs 5 star when you can stay in a slice of history

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
