As nice as home ”
All roads have been closed because of the heavy rain in July, other BBH increased the prices and they were rude like you got no accommodation choices because of bloody roads. But Empire didn’t, they keep their prices and be nice to you. Just tell them what you needed. I’ve been stayed here for two nights and told my friends to come for one more night during the road blocked time.

An excellent stay at Empire Hotel and special thanks to Loveleen!”
We recently stayed one night at this lovely hotel and really enjoyed it. Its location is great and within walking distance to the supermarket as well as to see the penguins. Our special thanks to Loveleen! She is a very cheerful, friendly and considerate charming lady. The gesture of her willingness in helping me to dial a local number (when my own phone is not working) certainly lightened up my day and our stay at this lovely hotel.

A good hostel with a great location”
The location is very central. It is an old historic hotel with some signs of age. Overall, it is a good hostel.

GREAT location; walkable to the best of Dunedin; easy to find on main street, but still quiet; friendly and helpful manager by the name of "Love-leen” (sorry, I don't know the proper spelling).

It’s a lovely place to stay but…”
This is our third visit over the past year. I noticed the “out of order” sockets in the kitchen were not fixed. The door handle in the room we stayed in was loose. The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and that was faulty. Seems to me the hotel needs quite bit of renovation.

Friendly Backpacker Hostel”
Well located in the middle of the town. Supermarket and eateries are just within walking distance. There were not many travelers during my visit, so the hostel upgraded me to private room.

올드함이 멋스러운 집”
건물 전체가 올드하기는 하지만 그런대로 멋있어요. 리셉션도 친절하고 전체적으로 깔끔해요. 많은사람들이 오는 곳이 아니라서 조용해요. 근데 주방냉장고가 너무 작아요..
