We stayed two nights on the sixth floor though there was refurbishing going on in the hotel our floor was ok.. We were pleasantly surprised with the rooms. They were large... With large TV and nice bathroom. Lovely big windows, nice chair with footstool.... It was very comfortable. And tea making facilities too! Breakfast was nice too though the lady... More

They double-charged the city taxes, which I just found out 3 days later when reading once more the reservation description. At least they gave me my money back. When we got to the room in the first day, the fridge was in the hallway and broken. We asked to replace it, but they said it was impossible. We asked to... More

I stayed only 1 night, when i came in the lights did not work and i called the reception who told me just to try it again and again, when i said i already did that she promissed to send up someone.. who never showed up ! The hotel location is perfectly close to the Meir/shopping street and the station.... More

Do not miss the Art Nouveau district of houses -- near Berchem Railway station. The hotel is next the incredible Central Railway Station, but Berchem is one stop away and very walkable. More

First, the staff itself. At the entrance, some were helpful, some were not, but none were what you'd call rude. The room was nice; not high class, but nice. As for the complementary breakfast, it was varied and good, though you should watch out for the milk: one day, it didn't seem right. One last thing: the banisters on the... More

I agree with everybody else mind on this hotel. It is ok but old and durty carpets! The bathroom was clean though. Bed was not very good. It was a bit loud (car alam 3 times during the night and people passing). It is a very short way to the station and the parking is 10 Euro for 24 hrs.... More

I booked the hotel through the Internet, and was exteremely shocked when I got there. The hotel looks as it has never been renovated - everything looks like a 70's movie. All the furniture is old and worn-out. Unprotected electricity cables are running along the walls, there are stains all along the walls and the carpet also looks very filthy.... More

I stayed for 1 night with a friend on a weekend. Based on the photo's on the website of the booking service (and on the hotel website) we expected an ok room, nothing fancy. But never did we expect such a dump. The location is fine I have to say, the room is huge. But that's about it. The rest... More

We stayed at the Empire over Christmas 2007. It's got a great location about 5 minutes walk to the train station and a 15 minute walk to the Grote Market. The room was very big and the bed was ok. The room was also clean, but like most say its a little outdated. The service was friendly and I guess... More
