The hotel was not clear about the reservations. Took two days to deliver extra pillows and also towels when requested. They told me they knew I was to have a King Bed but I would just have to understand that they had very few King Beds in the hotel and those are reserved for people who do not use Travel Agents. I requested certain amenities like soap and shampoo and was told the hotel does not provide that. Most hotels in Asia provide bottled water for the room, however, this hotel does not. While the hotel is fine for basic needs, it is far from a four star hotel.

Empire Hotel is: Clean and Secure/safe Has courteous, friendly English speaking staff - doormen were nice, fast service at the desk Concierge went out of his way when asked, you must be prepared to ask several times but then he went above and beyond to get a hard to find address and call the place for me. Rooms are a reasonable size with lots of hot water No alarm clocks - wake up call automated in English and right on time Rooms are quiet and you cannot hear others through the walls Very convenient for everything - Right outside the door is 7-11. Circle K for grabbing something quick, lots of pubs,bars, nightclubs for tourists, coffee shop across street with internet access if you buy something. Good fast authentic restaurants plus Indian, Greek, McDonalds, Outback Steakhouse, Mexican, pubs and all within a 2 minute walk or view of hotel. Grocery store is one street over too. Wanchai MTR station only less than 5 minute walk. Buses 1 street over. My only concern was that when booking the pool was not listed as seasonal so was closed the day after I arrived. Also, the fitness center had been closed the month before I booked but that also was not posted in advance so be sure to check if you plan to have a fitness routine. There is a nearby California Fitness center (no pool but sauna) for $* HK a day.

Check-in was promt,with excellent and friendly staff. However, when i got into my room,and looked out of the window, i felt so depressed, staring at those rusty all-roofs view. Without second thoughts I immediately called up the desk and requested for a room change. In less than 15 minutes since i left the front desk, II was moved from 5th to 16th floor.However, view is the same but at least it was a distance from those rusty all-roof view.
