    Old style hotel. A little tired but great old worlde atmosphere.
    The after hours reception could be improved, it can hardly be described as a service. The rooms are just as seen in the photos - a bit tired and not as well kept or furnished as you might expect for the price, but it is Queenstown. Breakfast is provided and adequate, and self…

    Very average at best.
    We have been travelling around the beautiful island of Tasmania for almost a week and arrived in Queenstown for an over night stay. Our accommodation manager recommended The Empire Hotel as we said we fancied a decent steak. Turns out the recommendation wasn’t a very good one.…

    Beautiful old building
    This is an amazing old building in Queenstown which is well worth a look. The food served in the large dinning area was average pub food which was very quick to come to the table.. The service staff were very friendly and helpful.

    I would need 2 rooms but it needs to have a connecting door in between because one of the party's snore's very bad and I can't see with the photos here.
    You may be out of luck with the connecting rooms. Best to check with the hotel directly

    "Good value for money"
    "Maybe ask for a renovated room otherwise you might get basic."
    "Didn't see a lift so the staircase may be a problem for people with mobility issues"
    "Ask for room that's not above the kitchen exhaust fan."
    "The rooms overlooking the railway caught the afternoon sun and were lovely and warm that night."
