The Empire Hotel Kowloon - Tsim Sha Tsui

The Empire Hotel is located on the corner of Kimberly Road and Observatory. A few blocks from where the action is in TST. For me it is worth the few extra steps down Chatham to get to the business meetings because the Empire has it's own local charm and vibrant night life (Knutsford Landing). For the money I would spend elsewhere for smaller accommodations, I received a suite (about $225 USD). The room was spacious and clean. The only complaint I would have is that the restaurant doesn't open until 7 AM and I often needed to be on my way to meetings before then. Great value though!

Booked this Hotel because of the loacation. lucky we got the discounted price! the hotel is so nice newly renovated and super happy with the swimming pool it really saves the day at night after long walks there's a near super market where you can buy your stuffs and pasalubong and the price is good. alot of good restaurant nearby ( specially korean resto's) it's also near mtr 4 mins. walk and the staff is very helpful specially the door man

they did not honor the guaranteed booking of Agoda which is 150Usd for 2 nights, we end up paying HKD1250, and there's 10% service charge. A little more that the guaranteed price, will be better if we can pay in Agoda instead for hassle free booking. good location in Tsim, clean facilities and quiet. All good.

location is good, close the heart of tst area. hotel staffs are nice, very helpful on both questions and suggestions city view was jsut okay, but then it's not around the habor, (i get what i pay for) room was a little bit small, single bed with a nice bathroom though. couple nights of staying will be just fine, and it is also a quick fix for a drunk night with "company" overall, i enjoy this hotel. thanks.

room is small but it is a well-quipped 4-star hotel, with swimming pool. staff is helpful and friendly. requested a double bed room but the bed is quite small, not a king size one. it will be great if there is a luggage rack in the room. location is good, 10 mins walk from mtr. lots of restaurants around and there is a korean street at the back of the hotel, with korean supermarkets and restaurants.

overall an excellent hotel as a base to see hkg. rooms were good. staff mostly helpful. english for some staff was a problem, not so good when trying to find out information about the city! near an mrt station.

This hotel has a newish feeling. The beds are of good size, the rooms are a good size too Everything is very clean. The buffet has something for everyone. The staff are very helpful. The location is excellent in tst area, malls and restaurants nearby. . All you need . I would stay here again.

at the convenience location in tst, nearby the modern shopping center as well as local hit & style shopping street nearby the hotel. and very convenience to the bar area nearby for great evening entertainment, restaurants with plenty of choice of great food in all price range. and i would definite to suggest for most tourist or business traveller to hk. the reception service is very heart warming to offer help upon my check-in and assist my request. and i have a pleasant stay in the hotel.

yes, hong kong rooms are ridiculously small, but if you remember this and go into the emperor hotel kowloon with this expectation, then you'll actually find the emperor to be decent. check-in was quick and easy. they even upgraded us to a "deluxe" room on the 7th floor. but to our shock, the floor smelled like fresh paint. we tried to ignore it, but even inside our room we could smell it. even when i was showering, the fumes were too strong and overpowering. i complained, and immediately they moved us to a harbor-view room on the 18th floor (emperor club floor). the original room had hardwood floor and no carpeting. i'm not sure if that was pre or post renovation. the emperor club floor had carpeting, with some wear and tear on the furniture, but overall still a modern, cozy room. the thermostat didn't really work in either rooms (except for the on-and-off functionality), but the air coming out of the vent was a perfect temperature for sleeping anyway. and speaking of sleeping, the beds are comfortable, not the usual super-stiff-hard ones you sometimes get in hk and macau. both rooms had huge lcd tvs... probably 40in or larger. the rest of the amenities include the usual: stocked mini fridge, bath robes, slippers, safe, toiletries, hair dryer, etc. internet is not free. they have a wired version, but their usb-dongle version is cheaper. the location is great, because it's a few blocks away from nathan. so it's quiet yet only minutes away from the mtr (it's in between the tst and tst east stations). plenty of small food joints nearby. hotel staff are very friendly, both in person and on the phone.

the emperor hotel is certainly well placed. mtr stations are 5' walk, the rooms are clean, so are the bathrooms even if the may need some restoring. the tv was huge, but i seldom switch it on anyway so i can't comment on channels. breakfast is excellent with wide choice of chinese or western food. staff was friendly. the area, like most places in hong kong, is safe and full of life. shopping and restaurants are pretty much everywhere.

nice, clean and big hotel. walk is a little bit far from the mtr station. internet was advertised as not free at the hotel, but when i checked out, i wasn't charged for the internet. no wifi though. got a single queen size bed, mattress was comfortable (not too hard). hotel is close to the expensive stores and restaurants.

my second stay with this hotel, relatively good price with the location. convenient store, restaurants, "tai pai tong", pharmacy selling cosmetic products are just down the road. very convenient. about 15 min walk to mrt. within walking distance to victoria harbor and shopping malls.

This was my first time staying in the Empire Hotel. It is well located, being in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. Everything you need is within walking distance. The TST MTR station is about a 5 minute walk away, depending on your pace. The rooms are nice, but small, even the City View Executive room. The view is fantastic, however. The TV is massive in the room. It's the biggest TV I've seen in a hotel room, but it could be that the small room makes it seem bigger. The staff was very nice and the check-in and check-out was smooth. Overall, I would recommend the hotel, especially if you're going to be out-and-about and not spending too much time in the room.

This is a great hotel, right in the middle of Tsim Sha Tsui. I can walk to all of my meeting places. The price is also good for Hong Kong standard. The room is also a bit small, but that is the norm for Tsim Sha Tsui area.

The check-in and check-out was very convenient. It took no more than 3 minutes to check-in particularly because we reserved on-line already. Also, they were able to accommodate my on-line requests of late check-in, double bed and no smoking floor. I enjoyed the pool (it was only approx 5ft tho), the lifeguard was attentive nonetheless, it was indoor but it's actually open from the top so the view up was pretty neat from the pool. The room was clean and comfortable enough to rest in after a tiring day of activities. Room size is ok. It's also several minutes walk from the MTR. Generally, it was a pleasant stay. I recommend the hotel to travellers.

The location of this hotel was just perfect. With all amenities and facilities within walking distance, its a perfect place for family and also adventurous people to check in and enjoy Hong Kong. The front desk and concierge people are extremely helpful when we need to find out way around. The place is very clean and presentable. The rooms are quite spacious and also tidy. The toilet is clean and it is cozy. Food was abundant and close to the hotel. Just walking around the block you can find MCDonald, a pie shop that has awesome pie and also a vegetarian restaurant for our vegan friends. Just the downside to the place is the entrance. You need to climb 3 steps. So if you come to check in for the first time, you would need to lift those heavy bags. For me, we had a baby pram, so we needed to carry up and down the steps.

The hotel is quite posh when u first enter. the staffs are polite, helpful and fluent in english. plus points are the location, of cause, it would be ladies' delight if you are looking for cheap and nice clothes, like far east area, nearby to mongkok by MTR! If only the rooms are slightly bigger

we had just a very brief stay in empire hotel... the hotel staff was kind enough did not cancel our reservation.. considering we arrived around 8pm.. Our room was very clean and so neatly appointed.. except that it was too small that you cant move easily.. perhaps next time, i would reserve a bigger room.. their bathroom is quite exciting... surrounded by glass.. though its so fragile to look at but for me its an experience...
