My stay at The Empress Palace Hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was spacious and clean, but I faced some challenges upon my arrival, which dampened the first impression. The staff were generally polite, yet some interactions left me feeling less than satisfied. Overall, it was comfortable enough for a one-night stay, but I might reconsider for longer visits.

My stay at The Empress Palace Hotel was quite the mixed bag. I really loved the superior suite I booked, as it offered a private bath and was super neat. The location was fantastic, nestled in a quiet area with an amazing garden. However, my overall experience was marred by the initial confusion at check-in, which left me feeling uneasy about the establishment. Overall, I'd rate my stay as a 7.
