          Location is great. It is near the airport, restaurants and SM mall. Comes with buffet breakfast which is nice. Very few selections on the buffet but still better than a plated breakfast. Room was clean and bottled water are provided daily. Friendly staff. Very accommodating and helpful.

          Overnight stay”

          Great value for money hotel. Clean and comfy room with a large king bed. This was a great hotel to stay on our last night in Puerto Princesa. After a long van travel from El Nido, this place was fantastic to refresh and relax in.

          Very clean and well-maintained building. Excellent location, close to restaurants. Room is a bit tight for a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys, but okay for a short stay. Overall satisfied with their service.

          Great Stay, Internet Issues”

          We loved the room and the hotel, but we could not receive an internet signal in our room. The lobby was right next to our room so it wasn't difficult to go and download a book in the lobby, it was just a little frustrating. The buffet breakfast was not worth it. All and all, we would definitely stay at the Empire Suites Hotel again.

          Front desk staffs are helpful. They are generous to give some token. The food is good they change their menu everyday. Nice place to stay. Nearby food establishment banks and other restaurant like kinabuch and ugong rock for exotic food. You might hear bar sounds since the place is just beside a music bar.

          The rooms facing the street are a bit larger than the rooms at the back but a bit noisier. The rooms at the back are smaller with high level windows and quieter. You choose.

          Right in the heart of the city. Communication prior to check-in date was also great. We arrived at the hotel early and the staff accommodated our request for early check-in, since we have booked a tour in the afternoon. All the staff assisted us with our needs with smile on their faces.
