Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often describe the rooms at Empire Inn as modern, clean, and comfortable, with some appreciating details like the vanity area with the sink and mirror outside the bathroom. The hotel's location is convenient, placing guests within a 10-minute walk to the Central Pier and bars, and with some rooms offering a super view of the top section of The Tower. While the games room and bar are appreciated, some guests have noted that parts of them may be worn or not fully functional. Nevertheless, many find the hotel offers good value, with modern amenities like a Fire Stick for streaming services in some rooms.

small room shower leak

the location was acceptable, approximately ten minutes on foot to the tower.

The room was small. Navigating around the bedroom proved difficult for more than one person at a time. the shower cubicle did not fully close, causing a water leak during use. the arcade on the ground floor created excessive noise until 2 a.m. directly beneath my room.

a serene getaway

perfect location friendly staff good value

a saturday evening stay created lovely memories with my group of six. the location offers peaceful quiet, yet it is close to many things. staff members displayed a friendly, helpful attitude. i also saw good value, especially regarding parking allocation right out front.

the corridors looked a bit worn and could use some improvement i think. this. updating these areas would surely elevate the overall impression of the place.

The room was clean. It looked to be newly refurbished. The modern facilities were adequate. There was a comfortable and clean bar room.

Parking charges were high. The sink was tiny. Water splashed on the floor while washing hands. The bathroom was generally small. Breakfast didn't start until 9 am. Checkout was at 10 am.
