The Empire Hotel Queenstown oozes character and charm. Our room was simple but clean with lovely linen and the beds were very comfortable. Our check in at the front bar was easy and the staff were very friendly. Pub food was nicely done and it was a fantastic location straight across the road from the Wilderness Railway station in Queenstown. Lovely old town with friendly locals.
We been on the road for a while, it was raining, cold outside The electronic blanket was hit. The building was amazing. We had a nice dinner the fire was going inside. Free breakfast yay. Friendly staff , I love it.
The history of the building and the staff were welcoming and very friendly. The complimentary Continental breakfast was exceptional. Would recommend for a memorable stay.
I loved the heritage value of the hotel, we had an ensuite which had refrigerator, very comfortable bed and a spacious and modern bathroom. The breakfast was sufficient and I definitely recommend this property.
