The Empire was a very good base for a week long stay in Hong Kong. It is close to the Convention Centre, many restaurants and bars, and the ferry crossing to Kowloon. The rooms were not as small as I had been led to believe. The staff were unfailingly polite and pleasant. more

The location is quite good, to the nearest metro station it takes a 3 min walk only. Next to the hotel there are a lot of bars and restaurants. I disliked the smell when you enter the building and that the rooms are not very clean. There have a pool on the roof and a fitness center where you can... more

The front desk staff are among the rudest people we've ever met. We knew this was an inexpensive hotel, so the mold in the room didn't both us that much. Nor did the mildew on the windows...nor the hard-as-a-rock bed...nor the airconditioning that couldn't be changed. But the obnoxious front desk is another story. Avoid, avoid, avoid. There are many... more

My wife and I stayed here for a week in January. The room was small but clean. The bed was comfortable. It is in a great location and we found the staff to be helpful. more

My wife and i stayed in this hotel during the Chinese New Year. Despite the mostly negative reviews on this site, we still opted to book at the Empire. As we were bracing for the worst, much to our surprise, things were not that bad. Save for the small toilet and bath, our other expectations became positive. The staff were... more

Stayed here over 30 times, for the location and used to have cheap rooms. Rooms of course tiny, but the bathroom is a closet. Have to go out to the main room to dry off after a shower. Always a few bruises from bumping into the bathroom walls. Bed is terrible; sink straight to the bottom, like sleeping in a... more

Over rated at one star! A must miss! If you are in Hong Kong and this is the only hotel available , get a tent! Staff: Underwhelming Manager Mr. Clem who gives new meaning to lack of customer service. Gary Wood more

Great location on the edge of Wanchai near Pacific Place in Admiralty. It goes downhill from there. On first impression the hotel floors and carpets are quite worn throughout the property. My toilet was never totally cleaned. The bath curtain was very moldy and there was lots of other mold around the bath. The only soap provided was in dispensers,... more
