Several things were not working in Emporio's favour when we arrived. Both the hotel's elecators had broken down and my husband and I and our bags had to squeeze into a tiny service lift to get to our room on the eleventh floor. Eventually, one of the lifts became serviceable again, but it took such a long time to move us between floors. Another annoying issue was the room cards would not work to let us into our room after we returned in the evenings. We had to go through the entirely frustrating issue of waiting for the lift to come up to our floor and then take us up again after the cards were reactivated. The airconditioning was also not performing as expected, though the staff were very attentive to our complaints and acted immediately to try to address the problem. They had to bring in a fan eventually. The staff at Emporio, I would say, are the hotel's biggest assets. All of them, from the reception to the maintenance crew to the rearaurant staff, were exceptional in their service. If not for them, Emporio would have nothing extraordinary to offer.
