Great room excellent views from the upstairs balcony. Highly recommend the food at the pub. It's well above the usual pub food and I especially would recommend getting a steak or the chicken Florentine which we found outstanding. Believe it or not, make sure you book for the dining room before or when you check in, it's that popular and deservedly so. Staff were very friendly and eager to help.

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.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Ok this is an old building and we should appreciate that. The room facilities were basic (the shower head leaked reducing pressure, one electrical blanket did not work and the general cleaning could be better) we thought that the continental breakfast layout could be better to reduce congestion. The breakfast was toast, cereal and limited fruit. Tea and coffee was available. The location was excellent over the road from the railway. The staircase is magnificent . Would I stay there again, not sure.

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.
