10/10 Exceptional

The room had an internal window and was rather small. Two single beds were what we asked for. The room wes very dated, but the hotel Is very old and alot of the original features are still there. They had put a new bathroom in. We ate in the dining room and had a very tasty meal.

Some reviews made me apprehensive. Our stay was great. Room spotless and quiet, en suite more than adequate, water pressure fabulous!!! Dinner menu more than adequate - apparently new cook/chef? Continental breakfast fine. All staff delightful. Would definitely stay again. Excellent value for the very reasonable tariff.

One cannot control the other guests who chose to talk in the corridor outside my bedroom. my self contained room was next door to the 4 shared bathrooms. So next time , I will ask for a room away from the shared bathrooms. The self serve continental breakfast was plentiful.

Empire well done.
Very well appointed. Management excellent and dinner was best we have had to date in Tasmania. As teak to die for and lamb cutlets, the BEST. History of this hotel quite amazing. Very well done to all.

Hotel had a lot of historical character and was in a great downtown location. We rate the hotel in part because of historical character.

2/10 Poor

Liked the building. Didn't like having no curtain (hard to have that with no curtain rod) on window. Stayed two nights and complained both times to different staff to no avail. Did like the breakfast. Lamb meal at $25 ran out so had to have an average (my medium rare steak turned out medium) steak meal at $44 which is expensive.

Quaint country hotel with a touch of nostalgia. Late check in was easy. My teenage daughter enjoyed seeing the original staircase and the display of old furniture, lounges, desk and typewriter etc. Enjoyed dinner and the complimentary continental breakfast in the dining room. The laminated placemat of the hotels history was a nice touch. Our room was adequate and the bathroom was recently renovated which was nice. Would have liked a pedestal fan as the room was a bit stuffy and the window rattled all night. Plus probably a little unsafe being on the second storey with no fly screen and as the door couldn’t be left open and the ceilings are high, the cool air outside didn’t have much affect. Did appreciate the large mugs for our tea/coffee and my daughter had her own space which was nice. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Conveniently next door to Queenstown train station for tourists which we also enjoyed the next day.

The Empire carries so much history. The Blackwood balustrade is amazing. There is such a feeling of majesty about the place. .
