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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was very clean, neat and lovely and quiet. Well appointed. Breakfast is very basic. Cereal Options limited to cornflakes and rice bubbles. I would suggest that you offer another couple of options like add weetbix and perhaps some muesli or cranola and some fresh fruit and yogurt. Beautiful old hotel with lots of character and so much potential. Staff very friendly.
