I came here with my family and we had actually booked a standard room but when we arrived, we were given a nice surprise as we were upgraded to a deluxe room.

The deluxe room was comfortable spacious and very impressive.

Unfortunately I only had the good luck to stay here for two nights.

This was a very lovely hotel indeed.

We (a couple both 50) have just spent 10 days at the Empire and while it is true that the rooms are small by western expectations, we found we adjusted very quickly and they are very serviceable. The area is a great place to base yourself for exploring Hong Kong as it is close to the MTR, buses and shops etc.

There is a Welcome supermarket and 7-11 across the road, which both have cheap supplies for fruit, water and drinks. Staff and locals are friendly and helpful. We were out walking around at all hours and never felt uneasy safety wise.

Nothing to do with the hotel but the area does have a lot of annoying Indian merchants who bug you as you walk around. Just ignore them.

We would definitely stay there again.

The location is a bit off the main road, but in an area that is not as commercial as in Nathan Road.

We got a room on the 18th floor, modern and with a very nice view. The room, however, was very small, but had all the facilities that a traveller needs, apart from space. We were travelling with two medium sized suitcases and two trolleys. There were hardly any space to store the suitcases and trolleys. If you wanted to open them up, you had to put them on the bed. With heavy suitcases that is a lot of heavy lifting. Normally you would put what you needed for a couple of days in the cupboards. In the Empire there is not enough room in the cupboards for two people, hardly for one person.

One nice tip about the location though is that is close to the Kimberly Steps and the arcade, which is across the Kimberly street, with a lot of nice restaurants.

Would we stay there again. No!
The quality is ok, but 'no' due to the location and the lack of space.

This hotel had an excellent location - close to all activities in Hong Kong, restaraunts, shopping, and walking distance from the harbour.

The rooms were very small, but from my research - this is common in Hong Kong.

The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was good.
